They explored its expressive potential and debated its merits in the 1890s, and by the turn of the twentieth century, American painters had seized the style for their own. Masters of Light: Selections of American Impressionism from the Manoogian Collection accompanies an exhibition of the same name organized by Jennifer A. Bailey and Lucinda H. Gedeon for the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Included are thirty examples of American Impressionist painting by the seminal artists who redefined the movement for American audiences, including Frank W. Benson, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Williard Leroy Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, John Singer Sargent, John Henry Twachtman, and others. Featuring contributions by some of the clearest voices and leading authorities on American Impressionism, Masters of Light brings into the spotlight brilliant and rarely seen paintings while illuminating their place in the larger currents of American art history. An essay by Kevin Sharp, The Americanization of Impressionism, examines the unintentional circumstances and deliberate efforts that transformed Impressionism from an expression of the French vanguard into an international style, and eventually, into a peculiarly American enterprise.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743308 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=765814 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=593307 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=684325 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=584063 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=605162 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=642686 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=633538 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=640623 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=698312 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=689757 Unconventional, controversial and often downright disturbing, indie films have given us some of cinemas most innovative and influential moments.

Post (1857-1921) was a pioneer fine art photographer at the turn of the twentieth century. Admired by Alfred Stieglitz, he was among the first American photographers to carefully compose his images and sensitively craft his finished prints. The book, the first ever published on Post, includes thirty-seven of his photographs, all from the collection of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Posts deep affection for the landscape of rural Maine, where he summered and eventually lived, is evident in his soft-focus capturing of apple trees in blossom, fields at harvesttime, and, most notably, snow and water lilies.
