American Marine Paintings

[Second Edition]

John Wilmerding, Eric Himmel

description

"When John Wilmerding published his history of American marine painting in 1968, there was no book that surveyed the wealth of American art depicting the sea and the shore - views of shorelines, harbors, and the open sea, of nautical events, from naval battles to shipwrecks, and of vessels of all kinds, from yachts to clipper ships. Since then, the rediscovery that Wilmdering's pioneering work helped to inspire of a little-known world of nineteenth-century American art and artists has continued. Artists who were virtually unheard-of by all but a few specialists in the field twenty years ago are now acknowledged as masters. American Marine Paintings (Second Edition) is appropriately a celebratory volume, it includes more than sixty new colorplates than the first edition, illustrating works that are today treasured as being central to our artistic heritage." -- from interior plate. Edited by Eric Himmel. Includes notes, bibliography, and index.
