Eastman Johnson's penetrating works, executed over the course of a long and prolific career, comprise an intimate, and, at the same time, expansive portrait of nineteenth-century America. This is the most comprehensive study of this important painter and it accompanies a landmark exhibition of his work. 110 colorplates, 100 illustrations. Martin Johnson Heade also had a remarkably long and prolific career marked by extraordinary diversity of subject matter. Here we find his early portraits, seascapes, views of salt marshes, still lifes, close-up views of orchids and hummingbirds and magnolias, all examined with fresh scholarly insights. 112 colorplates, 30 illustrations.
