Summary The period from the 1870s through the 1920s saw the creation of works inspired by romantic literature, Middle Eastern cultures, and "masculine" landscapes, by artists like John Singer Sargent, Cecilia Beaux, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Frederick Arthur Bridgman, Albert Pinkham Ryder, and Winslow Homer, among others. Fifty-two color plates display paintings (and a few sculptures) on facing pages with descriptive commentary by Prelinger (art history, Georgetown U.). This book represents one of eight exhibitions in "Treasures to Go," from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, touring the nation through 2002.Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
