Designed as a parallel exhibition to Coming Home: American Paintings, 1930 1950, from the Schoen Collection, which the Georgia Museum of Art organized with the Mobile Museum of Art in 2003, The American Scene on Paper: Prints and Drawings from the Schoen Collection contains works by many of the same artists as its predecessor and addresses much of the same subject matter, from portrayals of the plight of the American farm worker to the development of industry and the growth of the urban environment. This exhibition catalogue includes 153 prints and drawings, all illustrated full page, in color, and each discussed in a brief essay on the facing page. Historian Harry Katz provides an introduction, and contributing authors include William U. Eiland, Paul Manoguerra, Gail Kallins, Carol Nathanson, Stephen Goldfarb, and Lynn Barstis Williams. This exhibition and exhibition catalogue are of benefit not only to those who appreciate American art created between the two World Wars, but also to the average history buff, and they demonstrate the admirable diversity of Jason Schoen's collection of works on paper, which includes significant contributions from women and African American artists.

Top Notch,

This review is from: The American Scene on Paper: Prints and Drawings from the Schoen Collection (Hardcover)
"The American Scene" is a top notch anthology of early and mid twentieth century printmakers and their fabulous prints. Representative works from one hundred fifty three printmakers and brief biographies are featured in full color and clear text. The illustrations are big enough to observe details. This is an excellent buy for those interested in intaglio prints, block prints, lithographs and silkscreens from the twenties, the WPA and pre WWII era. An absolutely beautiful book and a must have for all printmakers interested in the history of their profession! Great as well for art history scholars and print collectors. This is the best book on this topic that I have been able to find.
