A celebration of the diverse world of American watercolors from the
late nineteenth through the twentieth century, featuring works from
the Harvard Art Museums’ collection Watercolor holds a special
place in the history of American art. For generations of artists,
the medium has provided a space for innovation and experimentation,
allowing practitioners to let their imagination loose and to
reflect on process and perception. Its rise to the status of fine
art in the decades following the Civil War is well documented, yet
its continued role as a testing ground and means of generating new
ideas throughout the twentieth century has received comparatively
less attention. This volume considers continuity and change in the
American watercolor tradition over a century of production through
the lens of the Harvard Art Museums’ collection. Works by
well-known watercolorists such as Winslow Homer, John Singer
Sargent, and James Abbott McNeill Whistler are included, as well as
surprising additions from Zelda Fitzgerald, Alexander Calder, Claes
Oldenburg, and many others. In the spirit of the medium, the
authors take a fluid and open-ended approach to the topic, offering
both personal and scholarly reflections that invite readers to
ponder the influence of these works on their own experience of the
world. In addition to contextual essays, there are close readings
of singular works and examinations of the unique material
characteristics of the watercolor medium. Distributed for the
