The Intimate Landscape: A New Look at the Origins of the American Barbizon Movement
(In the late nineteenth century, William Morris Hunt, Geor...)
In the late nineteenth century, William Morris Hunt, George Inness, Homer Dodge Martin, and Alexander Helwig Wyant brought a fresh vision to American landscape painting, offering intimate views of small fragments of nature, rendered in a more painterly, romantic style than that of the Hudson River School. Their innovative leadership opened new directions in art, and their work, acclaimed by critics, fetched impressive prices in galleries and auction houses. Before long, however, with the popularization of French and American Impressionism, interest in these painters all but disappeared, their work nearly forgotten. Now, their art is again admired, and they are being recognized anew as artists who broke with custom, found their own voices, and paved the way for Impressionism, Ashcan art, and all the new currents that were built upon their pioneering contribution to the American landscape tradition. The only book dedicated entirely to analyzing the comparative merits of these four first-generation American Barbizon artists as well as their attribution as such, this meticulously researched, long-overdue volume is an invaluable reference for students, collectors, art historians, and all who take pleasure in landscape art.

Henry Ward Ranger: Modulator of Harmonious Color
(During his lifetime, Henry Ward Ranger was considered the...)
During his lifetime, Henry Ward Ranger was considered the dean of American landscape painting. He was the father of the Tonalist movement and founder of the School of Lyme. Unfortunately, the contribution made by this extraordinary and influential artist is not widely known and thus is generally under-appreciated. What biographical information has been available could, until recently, be found only in widely scattered sources. Estelle Riback's monograph now comprises the most complete and authoritative study of Ranger's life and art. Her painstaking research documents his legacy and places it in its proper artistic and critical contexts. It will become an essential resource for collectors, students, and museum visitors interested in the artist and the period.
