Looks at 150 paintings from the 18th to the 20th centuries

About this title

From Library Journal:

From the Metropolitan's enormous collection of watercolor paintings, 150 examples have been selected for the exhibition this book accompanies. American artists have made the watercolor medium uniquely their own, and this sumptuous collection reveals the skill and talent of artists from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. Victor Koshkin-Youritzin's introduction provides a brief survey and assessment of many of the artists and works included. Stephen Rubin's commentaries on a select number of the artists accompany the plates but, curiously, many artists who will be unfamiliar to the general reader are not discussed. Additional critical essays would have given meaningful substance to a lovely picture book. Although this volume provides a glimpse into a little-known aspect of the Met's collection, it is not an essential purchase for most libraries.
