Description: "This long-awaited publication-the third in a proposed series of three titles co-published with the Detroit Institute of Arts-presents over 120 paintings in color, many including color details. The American art collection at Detroit covers a broad range of artistic endeavors spanning the early Colonial period through the first half of the 20th-century, but the strength of the American holdings is the painting collection. This third volume focuses on the later nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth, when America became a modern nation, and leading American artists moved away from traditional landscape and historical narrative paintings toward the study of human form, society figures and everyday scenes. A leading proponent of this change was the American ex-patriot artist James McNeill Whistler, who drew American artists increasingly towards Paris as the new centre of the art world, and whose use of natural and diffused light, fluid brushwork and overriding dictum of 'art for art's sake' influenced a whole generation of emerging artists. Key amongst these was John Singer Sargent, whose fashionable society portraits captured the physical and psychological nature of his sitters, and American impressionist artists like Mary Cassatt and Frederick Childe Hassam, whose paintings capture the transience and intimacy of everyday life."--with a bonus offer--
