Toronto, Ontario: Art Gallery of Ontario, 2015. Softcover. VG. Blue & color illus. stapled wraps, 88 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a series of 2015-2016 exhibition of American landscape painting -- "the first exhibition to examine the evolution of the genre from the early nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth century in an inclusive, hemispheric context. Our goal has been to broaden the undertanding of landscape painting across the Americas by setting aside the confines of national visual traditions and their art histories in order to extend scholarly investigation and discussion beyond territorial boundaries. Expanding the parameters of our inquiry to encompass the hemisphere may appear, in retrospect, a simple and self-evident strategy. Yet it has proven unprecedented in our field, until now.": (intro) Presents 60 paintings in full color, by 56 artists. Includes brief artist bios. NOT the hardback, more fully expanded version emanating from this exhibition. Consists of only the intro and the paintings.
