Beyond "American Progress": The Legacy of John Gast.
Rothenberg, Samantha.

Beyond "American Progress": The Legacy of John Gast. - 71 p.

Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 52-01.

Thesis (M.A.)--Sotheby's Institute of Art - New York, 2013.

Since its completion in 1872, John Gast's American Progress has been regarded as one of the chief works characterizing "Manifest Destiny," the ethos and rallying cry of nineteenth-century America's expansion West. Despite the image's prevalence as a defining historical artifact, extremely little has been known about the circumstances of its creation or of Gast's life and career. As a result, the artist's legacy has been inextricably linked to the questionable political content and unsophisticated "folk art" technique exhibited in this single work. The process of bringing greater critical attention to the details of Gast's biography---as well as the circumstances under which he completed American Progress, and the existence of a small but revealing catalog of additional works---invites a significant reassessment of the artist's legacy and a re-contextualization of his most enduring yet controversial work. Far from the unsophisticated figure perpetuated by several generations of scholarship, John Gast emerges as a European born, classically-trained artist, inventor and businessman, who, throughout his long and impressive career, remained vigorously involved in all aspects of the world of nineteenth-century printmaking.
