| Summary: | "After World War I, artists without formal training 'crashed the gates' of major museums in the United States, democratizing the art world across lines of race, ethnicity, class, ability and gender. At the heart of this fundamental re-evaluation of who could be an artist in America were John Kane, Horace Pippin, and Anna Mary Robertson 'Grandma' Moses. In Gatecrashers, the stories of these three artists not only intertwine with the major critical debates and paradigm shifts of their period but also presage the call for diversity in representations of American art that is among the most powerful forces shaping the field today"--Provided by publisher.
