Over the course of this one song, White reminds her listeners that although she may be influenced by these illustrious artists of the 70s, she is, herself, an artist of the present. With these triumphs, “High Hopes and Heartbreaks” is a remarkably tasteful juxtaposition of past and present styles...
...portray context.

...social histories of the United States. The broad spectrum of Roberts’ work is especially apparent in her first book, “Mirror-Travels: Robert Smithson and History,” which developed from her dissertation at Yale. The book examines how the work of land artist Smithson “absorbed, transformed, and sometimes refused the historical traditions that it connected to,” Roberts said.
