5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful find!
I think that SusieQ is spoiled for the quality of printing that we now enjoy in books that were more recently printed than 1985. When I found this book at a secondhand bookstore I flipped since it is such a rare and wonderful find. Maybe Yale will do a major publication some day. Wouldn't that be lovely!

Disappointing presention of an important American artist's work
The reproductions of landscape artist John Frederick Kensett's, body of work, in this 1985 retrospective, are unfortunately not of the highest quality. They are in fact a bit fuzzy, and also, not all of Kensett's important paintings are presented in color. His sketches are presented in miniscule size, which was a further disappointment.

Disappointing presention of an important American artist's work,
By SusieQ (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Frederick Kensett: An American Master (Paperback)
The reproductions of landscape artist John Frederick Kensett's, body of work, in this 1985 retrospective, are unfortunately not of the highest quality. They are in fact a bit fuzzy, and also, not all of Kensett's important paintings are presented in color. His sketches are presented in miniscule size, which was a further disappointment.
On the plus side, the essays prepared by various museum curators and art historians are excellent, and very informative about Kensett's life and art. While I enjoyed this book up to a point, I'm glad it was only a library-loan. If I had purchased this book, I would have lowered the "star" grade even further due to the somewhat sub-par reproduction of Kensett's work.
