Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Stephen Hannock is considered one of the top American landscape painters working today. Represented in major international collections and reflecting a Romantic tradition that dates back to the Hudson River School, his majestic works are renowned for their extraordinarily luminous quality-an iridescence that is achieved through his signature technique of sandpaper-polished oil on canvas. The hushed reverie of earth and sky that is captured in these hauntingly evocative paintings echoes the idyllic grandeur of such forebears as J.M.W. Turner, Albert Pinkham Ryder, and Louis Remy Mignot, among other nineteenth-century masters. The Academy Award he shared for his landscapes on the film What Dreams May Come has enabled Hannock-a craftsman in an art all too rare-to reach an even wider audience. Reawakening one of the most significant styles of American painting, Stephen Hannock illuminates in this beautiful compendium the glorious wonder of the landscape around us.

About the Author
Stephen Hannock is internationally known as one of the foremost contemporary American luminists. His paintings have been reproduced in numerous publications and exhibited in museums worldwide. He lives in New York City.

5.0 out of 5 stars an incredibly beautiful book, September 29, 2000
By Brett Carron (new york, n.y.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The painings shown in this book are clearly the work of a master at the height of his career. This book is a testament to this great talent. I am a collector of Hannock's paintings. Several are illustrated and I can attest to the acccuracy of the colors.Congratulations to Stephen and Chronicle Books for an extraordinary accomplishment.
