Publisher's full blue cloth, gilt lettering on spine and cover, tan endpapers. Profusely illustrated with 305 Full-Color Plates. American Painting presents a virtual art exhibition between the covers of one volume, spanning the history of painting in the United States, from the Colonial era to the startling innovations of the present day. This collection is one that will delight everyone. Included are works by Gilbert Stuart, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Mary Cassatt, Norman Rockwell, Andrew Wyeth, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, and many others. The volume's oversize format gives the 305 colorplates a lavish display, while the introduction by noted art historian Robert Rosenblum and the 34 essays by Donald Goddard explain how painting in the United States has earned its revered place in the history of art. American Painting tells the story, in absorbing texts and splendid full-color reproductions, of the United States' emergence to the forefront of the international art world. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unread, unmarked, tight, square, and clean. See less
