Description
|
|
|
|
From the 1870s through the 1920s, the nation's prosperity brought a new sophistication and elegance to American art. This exhibit catalog contains 52 color reproductions of works that convey the richness and variety of the period—rugged landscapes by Winslow Homer, exotic Middle Eastern themes by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Henry Ossawa Tanner, spiritual seascapes by Albert Pinkham Ryder, and the Renaissance-inspired paintings of Abbott Handerson Thayer. Portrait painters like John Singer Sargent, Irving Wiles, and Cecilia Beaux found patrons among the new industrialists of the time, while John La Farge and Augustus Saint-Gaudens provided luxurious art for their homes.
