While scores of books and catalogs have examined Alaska's native traditions, Painting in the North surveys the development and history of non-Native painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture in the state, beginning with the first European contact in 1741. Woodward, author of Sydney Laurence: Painter of the North (Univ. of Washington Pr., 1990), covers landscapes and other images of the early artist-explorers, tourists and travelers, resident painters (including Laurence, Eustace Ziegler, Theodore Lambert, and Jules Dahlager), Work Projects Administration and World War II artists, and postwar Alaska. Rigorously researched and incisively written, with a fine selection of illustrations highlighting the robust collection of the Anchorage Museum, this solid contribution attests to the vitality of regional cultural expression in America. Highly recommended for American art collections.
