The Puritan Legacy in Art

Abstract: A 5 page essay that analyzes Robert Hughes' comments on America's Puritan legacy. According to art critic Robert Hughes, American culture owes a great deal to the country's Puritan forefathers. Hughes states that there are numerous ways in which the Puritan legacy has "formed all modern Americans, no matter what the color of their skin or their ancestors place of origin. The Puritans implanted the American work ethic and the tenacious primacy of religion" (1999, p. 111). No additional sources cited.
