This volume celebrates the 20th anniversary of the founding of the
American Art Forum, by presenting 72 treasured works of art
selected by the curators of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In
six thematic and chronological sections, the curators cover the
huge variety of American art: luminous images of nature from the
mid-nineteenth century, such as Martin Johnson Heade's Newburyport
Meadows I, and fine landscape masterpieces in the Hudson River
tradition, including Sanford Robinson Gifford's The Marshes of the
Hudson (1876); light-filled impressionist canvases, such as Mary
Cassatt's Reading "Le Figaro" (1878); dazzling Gilded Age glass by
Louis Comfort Tiffany and paintings by John Singer Sargent; gritty
Ashcan records from a dynamic New York City, such as George
Bellows's Noon (1908); vivid aesthetic creations of the modern age;
the triumphant abstract expressionism of Willem de Kooning; and
resonant contemporary works by Andrew Wyeth and David Hockney. The
book also showcases major canvases by Georgia O'Keefe, such as
Black Cross with Red Sky (1929), John Marin's Taos Canyon, New
Mexico (1929), Cyrus Edwin Dallin's major statue Appeal to the
Great Spirit and James Earl Fraser's emotive bronze sculpture End
of the Trail (1918).
