More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Many people consider that America's most original contribution to the history of art is in the medium of watercolour, with inventive and brilliant artists such as Sargent and Homer, LaFarge and Prendergast, Demuth and Martin, Hopper and Burchfield. Featuring 125 of the most beautiful watercolours from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this book begins with an example from the 1790s by Benjamin West, surveys the development of the medium through the 19th and early-20th centuries, and concludes with images by Andrew Wyeth from the 1940s.

Wonderful watercolor selections
24 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
I don't currently own this book, but it's number one on my Christmas list! I have reached multiple renewal limits at the local library with this title. The large number of artists included in the book provide a variation in painting style as well as informative text regarding the artist and his/her work. The color plates have been well chosen to give the reader an appreciation for the masters of watercolor painting. I have returned again and again to Awash in Color as a reference for my own paintings.
