comprehensive overview gathers the works of renowned still-life
painter Scott Fraser. Beautiful full color images of his body of

history is a strongly recurring theme, often demonstrating itself
in surprising ways. This book offers valuable insights for

A revelatory look at an underexplored chapter of American art,
which took place not on American soil but in France "Reveals the
fertile creative ground Americans discovered in Paris and
beyond."-Judith H. Dobrzynski, Wall Street Journal, exhibition
review In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
American artists flocked to France in search of instruction,
critical acclaim, and patronage. Some, including James McNeill
Whistler, John Singer Sargent, and Mary Cassatt, became highly
regarded in the French press, advancing their careers on both sides
of the Atlantic. Others, notably William Merritt Chase, John
Twachtman, Childe Hassam, and Thomas Wilmer Dewing-part of the
association known as The Ten-found success working in the style of
the French Impressionists, while Henry Ossawa Tanner, Cecilia
Beaux, and Elizabeth Jane Gardner focused on genre and history
subjects. This richly illustrated volume offers a sophisticated
examination of cultural and aesthetic exchange as it highlights
many figures, including artists of color and women, who were left
out of previous histories. Celebrated scholars from both American
and French institutions detail the complex history and diverse
styles of these expatriate artists-styles ranging from conservative
academic modes to Tonalism-and provide original perspectives on
this fertile period of creativity, expanding our understanding of
what constitutes American art. Published in association with the

An essential new look at the diverse work and artistic methods of
beloved American realist painters Andrew and Jamie Wyeth Father and
son artists Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) and Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946) are
among the most celebrated American realist painters of the 20th
century. Despite their similar habits of mind, studio practice, and
rural Pennsylvania upbringing, the two artists produced strikingly
different work. However, they also employed a wide range of
processes in works that parallel and complement each other. This
artistic conversation is evident when considering the artists' vast
output of preliminary work-much of which has remained unpublished
until now-alongside their iconic paintings. This groundbreaking
publication takes a novel approach in exploring the Wyeths' working
methods and processes. Author Timothy J. Standring also provides
the reader with a rare personal glimpse into the artists' world by
chronicling his visits to their studios in the Brandywine Valley
and Midcoast Maine over the course of four years. With over 200
color illustrations showing works in a variety of media-including
pen and ink, graphite, chalk, watercolor, dry brush, tempera, and
oil-this handsome book situates each artist's oeuvre in the context
of their shared biographies, place, and artistic practices.

A compelling reconsideration of Rembrandt's printed oeuvre based on
new research into the artist's life and work As a pioneering
printmaker, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) stood apart from his
contemporaries thanks to his innovative approach to composition and
his skillful rendering of space and light. He worked with the
medium as a vehicle for artistic expression and experimentation,
causing many to proclaim him the greatest etcher of all time.
Moreover, the dissemination of the artist's prints outside of the
Dutch Republic during his lifetime contributed greatly to
establishing Rembrandt's reputation throughout Europe. Sumptuously
illustrated with comparative paintings and drawings as well as
prints, this important volume draws on exciting new scholarship on
Rembrandt's etchings. Authors Jaco Rutgers and Timothy J. Standring
examine the artist's prints from many angles. They reveal how
Rembrandt intentionally varied the states of his etchings, printed
them on exotic papers, and retouched prints by hand to create
rarities for a clientele that valued unique impressions.
