Art Book Review - George Inness - One the Ninetieth Century's Greatest Painters
The ninetieth century had tremendous competition for great artisans, and painters. One was George Inness, perhaps the best, although some might debate this. Of course, once you become acquainted by his art, you'll have to agree he was in the top five for sure. To better illustrate this and perhaps persuade you to truly see inside this great painters talents, I'd sure like to recommend a very good art book to you:
"George Inness at the Los Angeles Museum of Art" edited by Nicolai Cikovsky and Michael Quick; Harper and Row Publishers; New York, NY; 1985. ISBN: 0-06-4307107-7
This book perhaps best explains the life and times, and the inspiration behind some of George Inness' best work. Each picture is accompanied by full detail of the scene, and time of his life. Many of the paintings in this book have explanations that go far beyond just what the painting is about, but what the critics, collectors and art world says.
The introduction and first two chapters go into full detail of what made this man such a great painter, from his family, his life and to the times, society, government and thoughts of the day. I seriously doubt if you can find a more comprehensive art book featuring this great artisan.
The authors, editors, and collection inside is truly one of a kind. This is a book no true painter should be without, Inness inspires, and his emotions flow off the canvas into the minds of those fortunate enough to know his work. I hope you too will agree. Please consider it.
