The histories of American art have long privileged ways of imagining American culture that only tell a partial story and that overlook marine narratives of national and individual experience past and present. This ambitious volume reveals the sea as an expansive way to reflect on American culture and environment and to question what it means to be “in American waters.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than two hundred years, American painters have been inspired to capture the beauty, violence, poetry, and transformative power of the sea in American life. Their images of the sea have also expressed ambitions beyond America’s borders in aesthetically and conceptually distinctive ways. The eight essays included here offer a more inclusive way of thinking about American marine painting by reconsidering national symbols and narratives, origin stories, coastlines, horizons, and ports, and by broadening the conversation to embrace perspectives on the Middle Passage, immigration, and Indigenous presence. Lavishly illustrated with more than 120 images, \u003ci\u003eIn American Waters\u003c\/i\u003e features fascinating historical paintings alongside works by major modern and contemporary artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe publication accompanies the nationally touring exhibition \u003cem\u003eIn American Waters: The Sea in American Painting\u003c\/em\u003e on view at the Peabody Essex Museum from May 29 to October 3, 2021, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas, from November 6, 2021, to January 31, 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e---\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Daniel Finamore and Austen Barron Bailly\u003cbr\u003eWith contributions by Austen Barron Bailly, Mindy N.
