American Kaleidoscope: Themes and Perspectives in Recent Art features fourteen contemporary artists who live and work in the United States. The book's three major themes - Spiritual Expressions, Shared Concerns, and Historical Perspectives - are discussed in an insightful introductory essay by Jacquelyn Days Serwer, chief curator at the National Museum of American Art. Building on these themes, brief essays on each of the artists by Serwer and other members of the NMAA curatorial staff illuminate the chosen works in the context of the careers of these artists.
