American painting and its tradition : as represented by Inness, Wyant, Martin, Homer, La Farge, Whistler, Chase, Alexander, Sargent
Art criticism by John C. Van Dyke, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in New York in 1919, surveying nine American painters for general readers and students of painting. The plates are soft-focus halftone reproductions of landscapes and figure pieces in grey wash, with tonal skies, silhouetted tree masses, and pale water — useful as atmospheric backgrounds and grainy texture fields.
