Description
"Matthew Harris Jouett's standing as the legendary portrait artist of early Kentucky has long played a leading role in the cultural history of the Commonwealth. [. . .] The goals of this volume are clear: to write a critical biography of his life, based on primary sources, which defines his development as an artist within the broader context of his time; to offer a perspective on his artistic legacy by addressing the currents of interest in his art since the time of his death, dispelling the more egregious errors, and challenging the veracity of the more fabled episodes which obscure his true worth; and to provide an illustrated checklist of work whose corroborating literature and historic authenticity are as indisputable as possible"--Dust jacket flap.
