Book Synopsis The Art of William Sidney Mount: Long Island People of Color on Canvas by : Katherine Kirkpatrick and Vivian Nicholson-Mueller
Book excerpt: "From farmers cutting hay with scythes to dancers jigging to fiddle music on barn floors, artist William Sidney Mount's paintings reveal a seldom recognized world on the North Shore of Long Island. At a time when racist caricatures were the norm, Mount portrayed people of color in his mid-nineteenth-century works with great humanity."--
