Reviews

"'Embracing everything from Folk Art to Pop Art, this is a lavish glimpse not only into American art, but into the history of the country as well.' (The Times) 'Well-produced and broad in its selection, ranging from Pollock and Sargent to Anna (Grandma) Moses, it is a highly comprehensive and thought-provoking publication.' (Good Book Guide) 'An A-to-Z anthology of 500 works, avoids the obvious, evoking each artist's best-known work with accessible alternates.' (US News & World Report, 5 July 1999) 'The alphabetical format lends itself to surprising and stimulating visual juxtapositions.' (Folk Art, Summer 1999) 'Even the most casual art lovers will find inspiration and illumination...Browsing through the myriad styles, movements, and mediums of the book arouses a continual sense of serendipity. (The Christian Science Monitor, 1 July 1999) 'The American Art Book doesn't rely only on the 'greats' or even the traditional category of 'high' art. Images from outsiders, popular culture and lesser-known artists of color are included on an equal footing.' (Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch, 15 September 1999) 'Paging through The American Art Book is like spending time alone in the storage room of the world's best museum of American art.' (Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch, 15 September 1999) 'While it is indeed a reference to notable American artists, it is the vivid color plates that take center stage.' (Seattle, Washington, Times, 16 December 1999)"
