Synopsis

Richly illustrated with color plates of paintings from institutional and private collections as well as black-and-white photographs, this reference guide is the only comprehensive volume on early Oregon painters. Listings for over 500 Oregon artists offer biographical details and note where their work was shown and where it is now held. Additional essays on early art museums and art organizations, art galleries and exhibition spaces, and the Federal Art Projects of the 1930s show how the state created itself artistically.

Review:

"[This] book is a combination of visual delight ... and a literally encyclopedic knowledge of [the] subject."--Dan Hays, Salem Statesman Journal "Because the book reveals such gems as one of the few early African American artists in Portland [Thelma Johnson Streat], Oregon Painters is an invaluable reference guide."--Randy Gragg, Portland Oregonian
