Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

This catalog for a show of 150 American watercolors from the Brooklyn Museum of Art's collection of nearly 800 works is more than an exhibition monograph. It is a celebration of the museum's active participation in collecting watercolors and a reminder of its role in recognizing and establishing them as a prime American medium. In seven well-documented essays, Ferber and Gallati trace Brooklyn's role in the early purchase of works by such artists as Sargent, Homer, and major figures of the 20th century. A chronology distills events and provides a framework from which Brooklyn's contributions to art in America can be told. Some 46 black-and-white illustrations augment the 150 color plates; works range from landscapes and seascapes to figurative portraits and abstractions. Recommended for American art collections in academic and large public libraries as well as collections on New York and Brooklyn.?Ellen Bates, New York

4.0 out of 5 stars All the usual suspects and a few surprises too, Jan 26 2002

This review is from: Masters Color And Light (Hardcover)
A good over view of how watercolor caught on in America and rose to the standard of English work in that medium. Worth getting for the chapter on William Trost Richards, who really ought to be part of an American Watercolor Triumverate, along with Homer and Sargent. There are out of print monographs on Richards but this seems to be the best place to see examples of his work if you can't get your hands on them.
