J.Alden Weir (Hardcover)

Julian Alden Weir (1852-1919) was one of the first and most distinguished of the American impressionist painters, but by the middle of this century his artistic accomplishments had been all but forgotten. In this book, the author describes the artist's development and career in an effort to restore him to his rightful place within the context of his period. It contains a catalogue of the works in Weir's 1983 retrospective exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. (American Art Series.) Illustrated.
