New hardcover book in new dust jacket; book and jacket are still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrink-wrap; 136 pages including index and selected bibliography; nicely illustrated with 78 color plates and 7 black & white illustrations. With a selection of paintings from the Addison Gallery of American Art, this beautiful book chronicles the 100 years when American art was transformed from "figurative depictions of the particular to abstract interpretations of universal ideals." The book begins with the realism of the Hudson River School landscapes and then traverses through Barbizon-influenced tonalists, the American Impressionists, the Ashcan School painters, the Modernists, and through to the Abstract Expressionists. A wonderful survey of American art.
