Reviews
There's no better way to say it than Cikovsky's first sentence: "George Inness is one of the most neglected major American artists of the nineteenth century." As he surveys Inness' life and dramatically beautiful paintings, Cikovsky identifies various reasons for Inness' decline in critical fortune, from being considered the best landscape artist in America to being almost forgotten. Inness was largely self-taught and had little patience for the detail and labor of drawing and engraving. He loved, instead, the richness of paint and color, which he called the soul of painting, and believed that one painted, "not to imitate a fixed material condition, but to represent a living motion." Epileptic and prone to depression, Inness was inherently attuned to the beauty of shadows and stormy skies, as well as the mysterious, moody sweep of lush, stream-traced landscapes and autumn's golden light and sense of suspension and transition. Inness' atmospheric paintings are difficult to reproduce, but Abrams has done its usual fine job, enabling us to lose ourselves in Inness' extraordinarily lyrical world. Donna Seaman

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Maroon cloth cover with gilt lettering on spine. Tight. A beautiful copy. 9 1/4" x 12 1/4". DJ: Tiny smudges, no tears, very well preserved. George Inness was a pivotal force in nineteenth century American landscape painting, first for his blending of Hudson River school and European styles, and later for his poetic impressionism. In this compelling survey of Inness's work, it is argued that no American artist of the period painted with such feeling for the expressive powers of color and pigment. Over 101 illustrations, including 45 plates in full color. We, at Coalesce Bookstore, thank our customers and supporters, acknowledging that what we do would not be possible were it not for each of you.
