From the Publisher
The Tile Club was a group of 31 notable New York painters, sculptors, and architects-including Winslow Homer, William Merritt Chase, John H. Twachtman, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Stanford White-who met together between 1877 and 1887. Inspired by William Morris and the English Arts and Crafts movement, the club created hand-painted ceramic tiles and promoted the decorative arts. But it also championed American art in general-and did much to popularize plein air painting and the Impressionist style. Published in conjunction with an exhibition opening in the Museums at Stony Brook on Long Island, this beautifully designed book-the first ever on the Tile Club-showcases 70 of the club members' tiles and other works and assesses the club's far-reaching influence on art. 106 illustrations, 46 in full color, 9 x 10" Ronald G. Pisano is a scholar and curator who has written several books on American art. He lives in New York City. MARY ANN APICELLA is a London-based consultant for the Department of American Decorative Arts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. LINDA HENEFIELD SKALET is adjunct professor of art history at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland. Exhibition Schedule The Museums at Stony Brook, Long Island, New York Oct. 9, 1999-Jan. 23, 2000 The Frick Art & Historical Center, Pittsburgh May 19-Aug. 13, 2000
