“This beautiful volume contains the finest work of 33 American Impressionists, 120 paintings reproduced in full color. From Cecilia Beaux’s “white on white” painting “Sita and Sarita” and Maurice Prendergast’s festive, jewel-toned watercolor “Central Park” to Whistler’s “Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket”, AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM displays the range and depths of these artists’ high sophisticated styles. It is a book that will give pleasure to art lovers and historians for many years to come.” -- Publisher (inside book jacket cover)
