I am a retired Professor of Art History whose field of study is American art. I have written a textbook, "Framing America: A Social History of American Art" (Thames and Hudson, 2002, 2008, 2012, 2017) and books and articles on several other American artists--e.g. Judith Baca, Ben Shahn, Rockwell Kent, Alan Sekula--as well as on the Italian artist Mirella Bentivoglio and the Canadian artist Sara Diamond.
