This book is the catalogue of a unique exhibition taking place from May 16, 2003 to June 20, 2003 at the Adelson Galleries in New York City. Of the works displayed by this pioneering modernist painter, many have never before or rarely been available for public viewing while others are among the artist's best known paintings. Paintings included in this exhibition have come from some of America's most important private collectors as well as an array of major institutions, including The National Gallery of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and The Whitney Museum of American Art. This is the first exhibition to focus specifically on the artist's paintings inspired by America, from early images of Boston-area esplanades and New York's Central park to later idyllic landscapes and New England townscapes.
