Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Though John Singer Sargent described painting in watercolor as "making the best of an emergency," many consider works in this medium America's most original artistic contribution. This book, accompanying a major exhibition this summer at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, features 127 stunning examples, each reproduced in full color. Presenting watercolorists of such brilliance as Sargent and Homer, La Farge and Prendergast, Demuth and Marin, and Hopper and Burchfield, the book begins with a sparkling work by Benjamin West from the 1790s, surveys the development of the medium through the 19th and early 20th centuries, and concludes with Andrew Wyeth's images from the 1940s. Essays, research on paper conservation, and a glossary of technical terms complete the text. This beautiful presentation will remain a standard reference for years to come.

Product Description

Many consider that North Americas most original contribution to art is the medium of watercolour, as no other country can boast of watercolourists of such inventiveness and brilliance as, among others, Sargent, Homer, Marin, Burchfield, and Hopper. Awash in Color features the most beautiful watercolours in the impressive collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The authors survey the development of the medium and discuss each painting to provide, in aggregate, a history of North American watercolours that has become the standard reference on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful watercolor selections, Oct 24 2000

This review is from: Awash In Color (Paperback)
I don't currently own this book, but it's number one on my Christmas list! I have reached multiple renewal limits at the local library with this title. The large number of artists included in the book provide a variation in painting style as well as informative text regarding the artist and his/her work. The color plates have been well chosen to give the reader an appreciation for the masters of watercolor painting. I have returned again and again to Awash in Color as a reference for my own paintings.
