Silver and Gold includes works by Robert Vance, P. M. Batchelder, William Shew, Frederick Coombs, and W. H. Rulofson - images of native Californians and those who shared the land with them, memorable images of the men and women who sought their fortunes in the gold fields. Photographs from the mining communities reflect the miners' rough houses, sunburned faces, and makeshift clothes, capturing the isolation and determination of people working under difficult conditions far from home. Essays by John Wood, poet and founding president of the Daguerreian Society; Peter Palmquist, independent scholar and curator in the field of photography; and Drew Johnson and Marcia Eymann, co-curators of the Oakland Museum exhibition that complements this volume, enhance these striking early images. In addition, annotations on the back of the photographs and written accounts of the experiences they record provide glimpses into the intentions of the photographers.

American Kaleidoscope: Themes and Perspectives in Recent Art

American Kaleidoscope: Themes and Perspectives in Recent Art features fourteen contemporary artists who live and work in the United States. The book's three major themes - Spiritual Expressions, Shared Concerns, and Historical Perspectives - are discussed in an insightful introductory essay by Jacquelyn Days Serwer, chief curator at the National Museum of American Art. Building on these themes, brief essays on each of the artists by Serwer and other members of the NMAA curatorial staff illuminate the chosen works in the context of the careers of these artists. Forty-one of their paintings, sculptures, and installations are illustrated in color, supplemented by eighty-six black-and-white reproductions.
