Description
|
|
|
|
This heavily illustrated catalog surveys the entire history of art in California, from the maps of early explorers to the art of social and political activists in the late 20th century. Representing the Gold Rush of the 1850s as well as such counterculture impulses as the Beats, hippies, surfers, and the California car fetish, the book reveals that art in the American West does not stand in the shadow of the New York art world, and has at times led the national art scene. The work of Albert Bierstadt, Arthur Matthews, Guy Rose, Dorothea Lange, David Hockney, Diego Rivera, and 450 other artists who were raised in or worked in California are seen in 500 illustrations, nearly all in color. The book includes a list of artist's monographs and galleries that specialize in certain areas of California art.
