The first publication to focus on the Art Institute's outstanding
collection of American modernism, this volume includes over 175
important paintings, sculptures, decorative-art objects, and works
on paper made in North America between World War II and 1955.
Together they fully reflect the history of American art in these
decades, including examples of early modernism, Social Realism,
Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. Among the paintings are
such iconic works as Hopper's Nighthawks and Wood's American
Gothic, along with notable pieces by Davis, De Kooning, Hartley,
Lawrence, Marin, O'Keeffe, Pollock, and Sheeler. Among the
sculptors represented are Calder, Cornell, and Noguchi. Spectacular
decorative artwork by the Eameses, Grotell, Neutra, Saarinen, F. L.
Wright, and Zeisel are also featured. Reproduced in full color,
each work is accompanied by an accessible and up-to-date text,
complete with comparative illustrations. The introduction traces
the formation of this important collection by a number of noted
curators, collectors, and patrons. Distributed for the Art
Institute of Chicago
