    “... whatever she saw go on in that barn” Nell Painter (bio) After many years as an academic historian, I undertook formal art study, earning a BFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts of Rutgers University in 2009 and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2011, both in painting. More recently I’ve been combining my old and new lives into artwork with significant subject matter as well as visual meaning. I just now reread Toni Morri…

  • Seeing High & Low: Representing Social Conflict in American Visual Culture

    Nell Irvin PainterARTICLEJournal of American History2007

    Intended primarily for art historians, Seeing High & Low offers a thoughtful bounty of insight for historians of the United States trained in or ignorant of the rhetoric of the image. We who are not art historians ordinarily pay little attention to nonverbal source material. This disregard signifies ignorance on our part, for visual source materials also hold valuable meaning. If we cannot analyze visual culture, our myopia consigns us to only pa…

    Charles F Robinson, Nell Irvin PainterARTICLEThe Arkansas Historical Quarterly2002Cited by: 13

    The color line, once all too solid in southern public life, still exists in the study of southern history. As distinguished historian Nell Irvin Painter notes, historians often still write about the South as though people of different races occupied entirely different spheres. In truth, although blacks and whites were expected to remain in their assigned places in the southern social hierarchy throughout the nineteenth and much of the twentieth c…

    I. Honest Abe and Uncle TomOver the course of many decades, historians have seen it as their duty to discover the fundamental causes of the Civil War: economic, political, and social. Their pursuit has turned up the political economies of slavery and freedom that ulti­mately would have pulled the American Union apart, peacefully or by force of arms (see Boritt; Collins; Freehling; Levine; McPherson; Niven; Perman; Reid). On the metaphorical level…
