The world acknowledges that modern American painters have set the pace in art since the War. Yet by contrast their forefathers have been disgracefully neglected. This book goes some way to redress the balance. In a skillful survey of the American achievement, the author shows how it is no longer possible to dismiss American painting as the poor cousin of Western art. Indeed, far away from the influence of the European giants, early American painters soon developed an independent style characterized by its fastidious naturalism.
