| Summary | "The Mentor: Makers of American Art, Vol. 1, Num. 45, Serial No. 45" by J. Thomson Willing is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically during the early 1910s. The book explores the development and contributions of several prominent American artists from the colonial period through the early republic, emphasizing their impact on American art and culture. The text is particularly focused on portraiture and the ways these artists captured the essence of American identity during formative years in history. The book provides detailed profiles of key figures such as John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and others, highlighting their backgrounds, artistic styles, and significant works. It discusses the societal context in which these artists operated, noting how the demand for portraits reflected the growing aspirations of American society in the wake of the Revolutionary War. Each artist's relationship with important historical events and figures, like George Washington, is examined, illustrating how their artworks not only documented a nation's evolution but also contributed to shaping its cultural identity. The interplay between individual artistry and the broader historical narrative is a recurring theme, culminating in a deeper appreciation for the role of visual art in America's story.
