Publisher Description:
In his more than forty years as a scholar and teacher of American art, John Wilmerding (currently professor at Princeton University and formerly deputy director at the National Gallery of Art, Washington) has assembled a collection of fifty-one exceptional paintings and drawings by nineteenth-century American landscape artists who have been of particular scholarly interest to him. American Masters from Bingham to Eakins, which accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, is the first book to present and document this important collection, and will be widely welcomed by students, scholars and admirers of American art.In addition to paintings by Fitz Hugh Lane and George Caleb Bingham, the collection includes superb examples by Martin Johnson Heade, Frederic Edwin Church, John F. Peto, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Eakins. Following a general essay on Wilmerding as scholar, teacher and collector, the book features a comprehensive catalogue of the collection with detailed descriptions of each work, information on provenance and exhibition history, and large-format illustrations.
