| Summary |
Each beautifully illustrated book in the Show Me America series chronicles the artist's early life and traces his or her expeditions with excerpts from sketchbooks, diary entries, letters, newspaper articles, and more. Readers learn what inspired the artist's journey, how he or she worked on the road, how the art or photos were displayed to the public, whether the artist was recognized during his or her lifetime, and how the art influenced or changed the public's understanding of America. Each book includes approximately 50 full-color illustrations, plus a detailed two-page map spread. Timelines blend biographical information, advances/influences in art or photography, and pertinent regional and national events. Sidebars explore techniques, and processes of the artist/photographer; provide brief biographies of the artists, writers, and politicians of the period; and include information on the legacy of the artist/photographer. Each book includes a glossary, Further Research section with Internet resources, a bibliography, and an index. - Publisher. |
