American Art: How It Can Be Made To Flourish is a book written by John Cotton Dana and published in 1914. The book discusses the state of American art at the time and offers suggestions on how it can be improved and made to flourish. Dana argues that American art is not receiving the recognition it deserves and that the public needs to be educated on the importance of art. He also suggests that artists should focus on creating works that are uniquely American and that reflect the country's history and culture. The book is a call to action for artists, art educators, and the public to work together to promote American art and make it a vital part of the country's cultural landscape. Dana's ideas and suggestions are still relevant today and the book remains an important resource for anyone interested in American art history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
