(1962), 4to, xxii, 407pp, index, illustrated, bibliography. G+ in G dj which is crinkled at the top of the backstrip, few small tears, lightly soiled. From the dj: "THAT WILDER IMAGE by James Thomas Flexner dramatically establishes the originality, sweep, and quality of the Native School of American painting. The book describes a period in our national life when painting grew from local inspiration, was dedicated to expressing the United States, and differed in many ways from European practice - when Americans enthusiastically supported their own artists, and painting was on these shores a well paid profession." A heavy volume; will require additional shipping charges.
