Description
Many people consider that America's most original contribution to the history of art is in the medium of watercolour, with inventive and brilliant artists such as Sargent and Homer, LaFarge and Prendergast, Demuth and Martin, Hopper and Burchfield. Featuring 125 of the most beautiful watercolours from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this book begins with an example from the 1790s by Benjamin West, surveys the development of the medium through the 19th and early-20th centuries, and concludes with images by Andrew Wyeth from the 1940s.
