American painting and its tradition, as represented by Inness, Wyant, Martin, Homer, La Farge, Wistler, Chase, Alexander, Sargent
A survey of nineteenth-century American painters by art critic John C. Van Dyke, issued in 1919 for general readers and students of art history. The plates are halftone reproductions of paintings, mostly tonalist landscapes: silhouetted trees against pale sky, reflections in still water, figures small in open fields; useful for soft grey gradients, low horizons, and dark massed foliage shapes.
