"This book has long satisfied the deepening passion for American Impressionism with illustrations of more than 400 paintings by 125 different artists. The fascinating text - written by Dr. William H. Gerdts, the preeminent scholar in the field - is the definitive study of the subject, filled with information and insight garnered through many years of far-ranging research. Documentary photographs of the artists and quotations from their private letters and journals complement the text and provide a vivid sense of their lives and times." "The text is now updated and includes a new chapter discussing the themes particular to the American Impressionist artists. Twenty-five new illustrations have been added, and the book concludes with an exhaustive bibliography containing 300 new entries."--BOOK JACKET.
