“In embracing and rethinking ‘the genre of genre,’ Fagg restitutes
‘the small things that get swept aside by grand narratives.’ That
alone would make this a pioneering volume, but it is in fact only
one of many contributions of this scholarship.”—Leo Mazow, Louise
B. and J. Cochrane Harwood Curator of American Art, Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts
“Re-envisioning the Everyday assembles a surprising cast of
characters and visual styles around the category of ‘genre,’
reconsidering what the term can be said to encompass and
describe.”—Jennifer A. Greenhill, Endowed Professor of American
Art, University of Arkansas School of Art
