A wonderful introduction to America's treasured art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Thirty-three paintings are presented, with information about the artist, the technique used, the subject, provenance and museum in which it is housed (including museum hours and admission fee!). A full-page reproduction of each painting fills out what has to be the most succinct introduction to the treasures of America's art museums in a book.Wonderfully done.
Review of Masterpieces
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an excellent book to gain knowledge of the artist's background, something about the history of the painting, i.e., who bought it and donated it to which museum. Beautiful color illustrations with fold-outs on each picture. Lovely for the coffee table.
