The World of J.G. Brown

One of the most popular American artists of later 19th century America, John George Brown was famous for his paintings of New York City's poor bootblacks and newsboys, and for children at play in more pastoral regions, in a career than spanned the Civil War and the rumblings of World War I. Often compared to Winslow Homer and Eastman Johnson, he was hailed by Harper's Weekly as the most popular artist in America; wealthy collectors bought his paintings, while ordinary citizens bought the prints made after them. Independent curator Martha Hoppin, who organized an exhibition of Brown's work some 20 years previously, illustrates her entertaining monograph with more than 140 color plates and 60 black and white figures.(Tanıtım Bülteninden)Sayfa Sayısı: 260Baskı Yılı: 2014Dili: İngilizceYayınevi: Chameleon)
