Description
|
|
|
|
Unlike most books focusing on a family's art collecting pursuits, this beautiful catalog is written entirely by the collector, conveying the joy and pleasure derived from the artists, dealers, museum personnel, and other collectors encountered along the way. As the title states, the book presents 400 pieces of artwork, from 236 artists, reproduced in color and described in personal reflections. Largely realist works, they reveal the expanding interests of Thomas Davies and his wife over 40 years of collecting, including Hudson River School landscapes, marine and genre paintings, still lifes, the art of American expatriates in Europe and the Middle East, the art of the American West, illustration, and contemporary figural artists.
