Art and the Higher Life: Painting and Evolutionary Thought in Late Nineteenth-Century America
|
Art and the Higher Life: Painting and Evolutionary Thought in Late Nineteenth-Century America. Kathleen Pyne. Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 1996. $50.00 cloth.
Today the word "evolution" is bound to the legacy of Charles Darwin. It evokes Clarence Darrow battling William Jennings Bryan; it draws forth phrases like "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection." But as Kathleen Pyne makes clear in Art and the Higher Life, for American artists working in Darwin's wake evolution was more likely to inspire visions of ethereal women and moral uplift than the bloody battle to survive.
