This encyclopedia is a biographical dictionary of some 1,000 women artists of the American West. The product of a twenty-year, coast-to-coast research project by authors Phil Kovinick and Marian Yoshiki-Kovinick, it offers accurate, concise introductions to women painters, graphic artists, and sculptors, all of whom achieved recognition as depictors of Western subjects between the 1840s and 1980. Their styles range from representationalism to early modernism, while their works depict everything from bold landscapes and scenes of intensive action to studies of Native Americans, pioneers, ranchers, farmers, wildlife, and flora.

Seed of Modernism, A: The Art Students League of Los Angeles, 1906-1953
(An account of the rise of L.A.'s modern art scene. A See...)
An account of the rise of L.A.'s modern art scene. A Seed of Modernism chronicles the vibrant artwork that came out of the Art Students League of Los Angeles, one of the city's earliest art schools. Explorative, bold, and visionary, the league was influential in the formation of Los Angeles's distinct contemporary aesthetic. For years, pre-WWII Los Angeles was thought of as a cultural desert, but in fact the artistic community was both vibrant and ambitious. Initially a series of informal sketch classes, the league gradually grew into a center of creative exploration that fostered a fearless approach to art and launched friendships, scandals, rivalries, and even marriages. Many members found inspiration in Los Angeles's burgeoning immigrant cultures, some incorporating Japanese themes and techniques to create a unique aesthetic, and the league had a strong contingent of immigrant artists. Japanese American league members who were interned during WWII at Heart Mountain, Wyoming, formed a branch of the Art Students League there. For decades, the Art Students League of Los Angeles pushed the boundaries of self-expression. In its ideals and achievements we can follow the heady rise of modernism on the West Coast and also throughout America.
