Title: Fine arts in Cleveland
Description: The Arts in Cleveland surveys the "fine arts" - visual art, music, dance, theater, and belles lettres - from the time of the settlement of Cleveland in 1796 to the present. It also looks at Cleveland's cultural development within the national context. The first four chapters deal with the nineteenth century, including changing tastes in the first half of the century, the increasing sophistication of the post-Civil War era, and the role of philanthropy in the fine arts in the period from 1880 to 1900.
