Softcover
1974 · DeKalb, Ill
by Beard, Dorathea K.
DeKalb, Ill: Northern Illinois University Art Gallery, 1974. Softcover. G+ (White cover shows a bit of soiling and age; cover has separated from book block along spine & could be fixed well with glue; interior surfaces and illus. are good.). Whtie & color illus. wraps, 102 pp. 60 bw repros. Issued in conjunction with several 1974-1975 exhibitions based on the premise that, beyond and separate from any other trait, American painters have been obsessed with Factual Representation. Approx. 61 artists from all eras are represented, and each one is given a description, analysis and detailed bibliography. A terrific reference. Scarce. (Inventory #: 1957)
