"[A] multi-year, multi-dimensional, and unprecedented series." -- Library Journal "An excellent resource for the scholar, the undergraduate researcher, the preservationist, and the amateur historian interested in an introduction to thematic topics and individuals associated with Southern art and architecture. The level of scholarship is impressive and the inclusion of key bibliography for each entry is of particular merit." -- Louisiana History "An informative look at who and what influences the unique visual landscape of the American South." -- Library Journal "The book's greatest asset is the large biography section, which covers artists from many media, across time periods, and of different levels of renown, while remaining accessible for most readers.
