Amazon.com Review
Increased interest in regional American culture--from couture to cuisine--has supported the production of a number of books on regional American art. This ambitious survey of painting in the American Plains and West, from the first settlers to 1920, is the third in a three-volume series about American art. Both a fine-art book and an academic survey, the book leads readers on a state-by-state tour of painting in the Plains and western United States. Generously designed, the book is filled not only with well-produced color and black-and-white illustrations, but also with helpful footnotes, a bibliography, and an extensive index. Each chapter begins with a map that indicates art centers of particular states, and covers the development of training, patronage, and exhibitions in these communities. Of particular interest are author William H. Gerdts's attention to the role of women in these arts communities and his celebration of little-known work.
Product Description
Featuring artists and professionals who worked outside America's three main cities - Boston, Philadelphia and New York - by 1920, this work chronicles the development of painting in cities and towns. It examines such issues as the evolution of art education, patronage and exhibition.
