Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This extensive and lavishly produced book provides, for the first time, a detailed analysis of the history of American Scene painting and Regionalism with an emphasis on artists active during the period between the two World Wars. Though little known until recently, Carl W. Peters embodied the essence of American Scene painting throughout his extremely productive life. His works are considered here within the broad panorama of cultural and intellectual history during these exciting decades, when modernism and indigenous American realism were in constant conflict.

5.0 out of 5 stars FIRST COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE AMERICAN SCENE PAINTER, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
Carl W. Peters, American Scene Painter from Rochester to Rockport.is the first comprehensive look at the American Scene and mural painter. Art historian, artist, gallery owner, and former media personality Richard Love, a consummate scholar and cultural commentator, contrasts the European-inspired traditions and modern movement with "home-grown" American realism. Throughout the book, Love's extraordinary grasp of American artistic and cultural events enriches the story of Peters' life and art in a marvelous way. We conclude that Peters was a distinctive American artist. This remarkable book, beautiful in design, dense in delineation of all aspects of American culture, and rich in expression will long be the scholarly standard for the life and works of Carl W. Peters, who rose from humble origins on a farm in the Genesee country to become an outstanding painter of the American Scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars A scholarly work., November 11, 1999
By A Customer
In Carl W. Peters: American Scene Painter from Rochester to Rockport, Richard H. Love, with scholarly expertise, tells the story of a pioneer American regionalist whose career developed amid the conflict between modernisn and realism. Not just about Carl Peters, Love's book is rich with stories of American art. His coverage of the art scene in Woodstock and Cape Ann, America's first art colony, is a fascinating contribution to art history. What a place Gloucester must have been in the early twentieth century! John Sloan's description gave unique insight, "there was an artist's shadow beside every cow in Gloucester, and the cows themselves were dying from eating paint-rags."

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb production., June 2, 1999
By A Customer
Carl W. Peters: Ameican Scene Painter from Rochester to Rockport is magnificent and as a seasoned bibliophile it's a superb production in every respect. My highest praise for its scholarship, reproduction, and encyclopedic content about Peters.
