Reviews
These painting styles have received oodles of attention from art historians of late, and one might wonder what more there is to be said on the subject. Happily, this volume offers novel approaches and outstandingly handsome illustrations, nearly half in color. Insightful commentary is arranged thematically and begins with the American twist given to Impressionism, a style essentially born and developed in France. Through essays on country, city, and home, the authors examine how the subject matter reflected the nature of American life and culture during that era. The catalog is to accompany a nationwide traveling exhibition. Appendixes include lists of works contained in and lenders to the exhibition, as well as biographies of the painters. Highly recommended for general as well as scholarly readers.

Published in conjunction with an exhibition that originated at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and is scheduled to travel to
several locations during 1994 and 1995. Serving as both a catalog and
an exposition, this abundantly illustrated volume explores the
continuities and differences between American Impressionism and
Realism, two movements that are traditionally viewed as merely
opposed. The thrust of the exhibition (and this volume) is to forge a
new approach to an area of American art history that has
heretofore tended more towards description than interpretation,
offering historical and social contexts for the works and movements
under consideration as well as stylistic analyses, and a biography of
each of the 26 artists in the exhibition. Distributed by Abrams.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This book brings together the appealing works of two generations of American painters and presents them from a fresh point of view. The American Impressionists and Realists have been categorized as separate or even opposing groups, but, in fact, they shared significant experiences and goals―notably Parisian training, an enthusiasm for modern French painting, and a desire to translate these sources into a peculiarly American idiom. The continuities between these two groups are more impressive and the contrasts more subtle, a complexity that is highlighted by arranging the works not by artist or chronology, but by broad subject categories: the country, the city, and the home. A like-new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Cover has no visible wear, no missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no writing in the margins. Spine and both covers in perfect condition. Just a nameplate sticker on the front page. See pictures for details. Seller Inventory # 20539
