Artistic Achievements America’s Cultural Identity and a growing sense of Nationalism

Cultural Identity and Nationalism Early American writers and artists mimicked Europeans Many American artists trained and worked in Europe Americans were too interested in building up the country to “waste” time in the arts Puritanism discouraged time spent on the arts such as theater, painting, and novels – it was considered a waste of time because it was not producing anything tangible. The outpouring and growth of national pride after the War of 1812 was reflected by new forms of art, architecture, and literature that celebrated a unique American character different from the Old World.

Painting Portraits –Gilbert Stuart painted patriotic portraits of founding fathers –Charles Wilson Peale painted 60 portraits of Washington –John Trumbull painted Revolutionary War scenes –America’s frontier preoccupation with survival and Puritan attitudes that art was a ‘waste of time” limited artistic development in early America –Many of America’s artists trained and practiced in Europe where they could get work
