Susan Davidson edits ART IN AMERICA: 300 YEARS OF INNOVATION, a fine survey of the major movements in America art which will be a top pick not just for college-level art libraries, but for any collection strong in American art history, even down to the high school range. From pop art to expressionism and landscape artists, here are works - some 250 - reproduced in full color by a range of artists. The historical division into six major periods from colonial times to modern times offers a far wider range than most American art titles, and makes for a fine, definitive catalog.

This is a wonderful review of American Art. It was actually the catalogue issued with the first American Art Exhibition to travel in China. Therefore, to provide the best possible understanding of American Art to the Chinese it is very comprehensive. It was originally given to me as a gift and since them I have given it a number of times as gifts to many of my American Art collector friends.It is worthwhile addition to the library of anyone either interested in or a collector of American Art.

This is a good general text for American art. Lots of illustrations and good, specific definitions. It was also a great value. Even though not a current copyright, the information is up to date (2007.)
