During an era that preferred European modernism and abstraction, Webb s visionary endeavour presented a new story of the United States: an attractive and industrious nation with its own valuable artistic traditions. This handsome book features the best of Shelburne s American paintings, including works by colonial painters John Wollaston and John Singleton Copley, portraits by William Matthew Prior and Ammi Phillips, Hudson River School landcapes by Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, and John Frederick Kensett, and scenes of American life by Eastman Johnson, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, and many more. The collection is also notable for its great depth in the works by Fitz Henry Lane, Martin Johnson Heade, Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, Carl Rungius, Grandma Moses, and Ogden Pleissner.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 290mmItem Length: 239mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 1197gAuthor: Katie Wood Kirchhoff, Thomas Denenberg, John WilmerdingGenre: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
