Reviews
"Youngner meticulously catalogs the shifting face of Pittsburgh's industrial development. As the cityscape was physically altered, its human component changed as well, from landscape accessory to heroic and strife-bound labor. Pittsburgh's industry became fodder for advertisement, spectacle, social critique. Pittsburgh offered smoke, soot, and toil as emblems of enterprise, an important counterbalance to the rural ideal that so pervaded American art and culture." --Diana Strazdes, University of California, Davis,  "Youngner examines 'image makers' and their depiction of the city's startling and stirring sights. In their pursuit of profit, ornament, or a vision of truth, artists portrayed urban flux for local and national consumption. . . . Youngner guides readers through the images with intriguing results." --Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, "The picture [Youngner] paints of the city and its industry is broader and deeper than any one of the artists, draftsmen or printmakers she individually considers." -Pittsburgh Quarterly, " Industry in Art is an excellent analysis of the development of Pittsburgh into a major industrial center, shown through paintings, illustrations, and sketches of its artists. Youngner details the dynamic and varying roles played by art and its importance in depicting an evolving industrial society." --Anthony Speiser, Trustee, Newington Cropsey Foundation, "The aesthetic of nineteenth-century American painting has been defined by the artists' embracement of an unspoiled landscape. Yet as Rina C. Youngner's account . . . meticulously details, an alternative mode attempted to assimilate the imagery of America's most industrialized city into the conventions of nineteenth-century landscape art. . . . Youngner judiciously weighs the struggle between nature and commerce, labor and capitalism. . . . A valuable commentary documenting the portrayal of industry in nineteenth-century America." --Kenneth W. Maddox, New York University, "The picture [Youngner] paints of the city and its industry is broader and deeper than any one of the artists, draftsmen or printmakers she individually considers." --Pittsburgh Quarterly, "Industry in Artis an excellent analysis of the development of Pittsburgh into a major industrial center, shown through paintings, illustrations, and sketches of its artists.
