Used-Very Good.

Illustrations include paintings by such popular Impressionists as William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, and Maurice Prendergast, as well as striking but less-known work by Colin Campbell Cooper and the Canadian David Milne.

Seller's Description:
VG/G. Wear to dj. Tear at base of dustjacket on spine. Galley stamp on title page. Aqua cloth with blindstamped cover, white & color illus. dust jacket, 224 pp. 101 color, 50 bw plates. This book is organized geographically and thus demonstrates the connection between American Impressionism and New York City. A nostalgic tour around turn-of-the-century New York, but also a very detailed study with first rate reference sections. Some of the works also have a hint of the tonalist tendencies of the artists who painted them. "This nostalgic tour around the turn-of-the-century metropolis will appeal not only to the myriad admirers of Impressionism, but also to modern-day New York visitors, city-dwellers, and exiles yearning to recapture the city's past." (dj).
