From Publishers Weekly

Winslow Homer's Sleigh Ride, one of his most romanticallybeautiful and mysterious paintings, is rivaled by the nine otherbreathtaking Homer oils included in this treasure trove. The bookcatalogs all the American paintings and sculptures at the Clark ArtInstitute in Williamstown, Mass., a museum known for its 19th-centuryFrench paintings. Included works range from Walter McEwen'sDutch-influenced Girl Looking in a Mirror (ca. 1890), to NannaBryant's marble nude sculpture Eve (1925) to Harry Watrous's eerie1913 portrait of a black-clad woman with blackbird to Raisa Robbins'scharmingly naive oil Russian Country Fair (1944). John SingerSargent's astonishing acuity and innate artistry are on view in 12color reproductions. There also are masterpieces by Mary Cassatt,George Inness, Louis Eilshemius and others. Lively, insightfulcommentaries are provided by Conrads, a curator at the Nelson-AtkinsMuseum in Kansas City, Mo.
