The real attraction of the book however is the pictures; reproduced entirely in full colour, and almost all of them filling the page, the larger ones coming in at 7" x 8", the landscape format of the book being taken full advantage of so that many of the images are as large as one finds in much bigger books. The quality of printing is very good, although the layout does feel a little cramped, mainly due to the text. There are about 112 artists represented, all but a very few by just the one picture; with familiar names such as George Bellows, Frederic Church, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, and the Wyeths alongside the less familiar. With paintings covering the period from around 1830 to 2005, not surprisingly there is a wide range of approach evident, from the extreme realist work of Alan Magee to the almost abstract of William Kienbusch, and much between.
It is an attractive little book if only for the range and amount of work shown; the text however might have been better omitted, it adds little to the work, and while text and associated pictures run roughly together, with no reference in the text as to where the pictures are, and no index to the text itself, the book can be somewhat frustrating.… (más)
