History & Criticism

Hughes Pub. Co

This second edition represents the most comprehensive reference work ever done on artists who were active in early California. The scope ranges from the artists who accompanied the European exploring expeditions of the late 18th century to those who exhibited at the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-40. Alphabetically arranged, this book contains over 14,000 detailed biographies. Although the emphasis is on California, the book should have a much broader appeal since these artists were active throughout the United States. Collectors, libraries, galleries, appraisers, auction houses, antique shops, universities, and other interested parties will find this a very helpful tool. Categories include painters, sculptors, etchers, commercial artists, illustrators, lithographers, engravers, watercolorists, muralists, pastelists, and teachers.
