1980

0.0 (0)

"This book has long satisfied the deepening passion for American Impressionism with illustrations of more than 400 paintings by 125 different artists. The fascinating text - written by Dr. William H. Gerdts, the preeminent scholar in the field - is the definitive study of the subject, filled with information and insight garnered through many years of far-ranging research. Documentary photographs of the artists and quotations from their private letters and journals complement the text and provide a vivid sense of their lives and times." "The text is now updated and includes a new chapter discussing the themes particular to the American Impressionist artists. Twenty-five new illustrations have been added, and the book concludes with an exhaustive bibliography containing 300 new entries."--BOOK JACKET.

#2

Childe Hassam, Impressionist

0.0 (0)

"This volume celebrates Hassam's imposing career as one of America's foremost Impressionists. Unsurpassed in the quality and variety of his work, and equally talented in creating oil paintings, watercolors, and prints, Hassam explored such evocative subjects as rain-swept city scenes, glorious seaside gardens, exquisite women, and stirring flag-lined streets. Many of these irresistible pictures are hidden in private collections and have rarely, if ever, been reproduced; others are on view at major museums across the country, from the Metropolitan Museum to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art."--BOOK JACKET. "By approaching Hassam from several angles, the three authors reveal the many different facets of this multitalented artist and uncover previously unknown aspects of his life and work."--BOOK JACKET.
