? A comprehensive examination of
US culture, politics, economics, and history from 1945 to today
? An in-depth
overview of the history, current status, and future outlook of each art
form
? Richly illustrated with full-color photos and art that highlight key
developments from each decade
Curriculum connections:
? Features primary
and secondary sources
? Places art forms in historical and cultural
context
? Encourages comparing and contrasting of art forms through the
decades
