Over 100 masterworks from 1670 to 1960, by artists as diverse as Copley, Lane, Sargent, Cassatt, Hopper, O’Keeffe, Lawrence, and Pollock. Both a brief history of American painting, from the British colonies to the mid 20th century, and a discussion of related themes, this is a valuable and enjoyable resource.

“A joy to read and behold, a superb resource” (Midwest Book Review).
