Eric Sloane's evocative oils of America's landscape and material culture shimmer with immense historical and nostalgic appeal. This original hardcover collection gathers nearly a hundred of his finest paintings, with subjects ranging from New England to the American Southwest. The anthology of works was selected by Michael Wigley, whose gallery in Santa Fe is a primary venue for Sloane's artwork.

Insight into Eric Sloane,
By John P. "Sloane Fan" (Walden, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eric Sloane's America: Paintings in Oil (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Hardcover)
Most people are familiar with Eric Sloane's pen and ink sketches from his many wonderful books. Few people realize that he painted over 15,000 paintings over his lifetime. Only a handful are seen in his books "An Age of Barns", "I Remember America" and "Eighty: An American Souvenir". This new book gives you a small glimpse of the tremendous talent that this man had as a painter. I only wish that the book had many more of his paintings and in a larger format. A terrific book about a terrific man.Eric Sloane's America: Paintings in Oil

ERIC SLOANE'S PAINTINGS,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eric Sloane's America: Paintings in Oil (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Hardcover)
A WONDERFUL BOOK. ERIC SLOANE WAS ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED AMERICAN ARTIST. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM WITH MY PARENTS IN THE 70'S WHEN WE WOULD VISIT AND HAVE HIM SIGN THE BOOKS MY MOTHER OWNED. HE WAS SUCH A GRACIOUS MAN. HIS PAINTINGS DEPICTED JUST WHAT AMERICA MEANT AND HIS DETAIL WAS AMAZING.ANYONE WHO EVER READ ANY OF HIS BOOKS WOULD AGREE. HE WAS ONE OF A KIND. IT IS WONDERFUL THAT MICHAEL WIGLEY HAS COMPILED THE PAINTINGS IN THIS BOOK THAT WE COULD SEE MORE OF WHAT ERIC SLOANE MEANT TO AMERICA.

An Eric Sloane Masterpiece,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eric Sloane's America: Paintings in Oil (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Hardcover)
Although primarily known for his black & white sketches of early Americana, Eric Sloane was a marvelous painter as well. This book is a fine collection of his color paintings. Sloane is able to capture the true spirit and feeling of his subject matter, often using unorthodox painting methods. This book is a masterpiece and a must have for any reader, collector or admirer of Eric Sloane's work.
