Synopsis
One of the world's best-loved art historians, Sister Wendy Beckett combines her considerable knowledge of art history and modern art with her unique powers of observation to create a personal anthology of over 115 of the greatest masterpieces in American painting. From Albers and Audubon to Warhol and Wyeth, the artists are arranged alphabetically, each represented by one or two key works. Home-grown American favourites such as Homer and Hopper are presented alongside pioneering Europeans who became active in the US, including Duchamp, Hockney and De Kooning, to create a striking juxtaposition of artistic styles and achievements. "White Flag" by Jasper Johns, "Early Sunday Morning" by Edward Hopper, "Blue Poles: No. II" by Jackson Pollock and "M-Maybe (A Girl's Picture)" by Roy Lichtenstein are among the icons of American art featured in this broad-ranging collection. Sister Wendy Beckett offers insights into even the most famous paintings, chronicling the key movements, developments and artists in the history of American painting.
