Three Centuries of American Prints from the National Gallery of Art highlights the three major movements in American art and print history in nearly 200 masterful prints from the Colonial era to the present day. More than 100 artists are represented, ranging from Paul Revere to James McNeill Whistler, Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, George Bellows, Romare Bearden, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, Chuck Close, and Kara Walker. Twelve contributing authors explore varied themes in American art. Biographies of the artists and a glossary of printmaking terms are also featured.

The artists featured range from Paul Revere through James McNeil Whistler, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Louise Nevelson, Romare Bearden, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Chuck Close, and Kara Walker.
