Finding Good Homes for Good Books since 1996Breaking Frame: Technology and the Visual Arts in the Nineteenth Century
by Wosk, Julie
Publisher: Rutgers University Press, 1994
Edition: Softcover
In this incisive, abundantly illustrated study, Julie Wosk explores for the first time how the visual arts reflected the explosive psychological impact of the Industrial Revolution on English and American society. Wosk reveals the ways artists and designers responded to the hopes and fears for the first industrial age, and how their work continues to illuminate our own visions of technology and culture.Wosk also reveals the striking ability of artists to capture the drama and the dangers of the new technologies, seen in their images of factories spewing smoke, steam boilers bursting, trains crashing, and comic views of people-turned-automatons.
