50 American Artists You Should Know (Book)

DEBRA N. MANCOFF

While the history of American art is as varied as the fifty states

the country is comprised of, it tells a story of a uniquely

American aesthetic: bold, innovative, and uncompromising.

Starting with the portraits of John Singleton Copley and the

landscape masterpieces of Frederic Church, this exciting look

at the most important American artists moves through the era

of Cassatt, Whistler, and Sargent to the groundbreaking works

of O'Keeffe, Cornell, and Calder. This book also celebrates the

artists who placed America at the forefront of modern art:

Pollock, de Kooning, Rauschenberg, Warhol, Oldenburg, and

Johns. The works of Sherman, Serra, and Close prove that

America continues to produce challenging and influential

artists. With its colorfully illustrated spreads and contextual

approach, this is a superb guide for anyone interested in

learning about American art.
