American Masters from Bingham to Eakins: The John Wilmerding Collection

In his more than forty years as a scholar and teacher of American art, John Wilmerding has assembled a collection of fifty-one exceptional paintings and drawings by nineteenth-century American landscape artists. American Masters from Bingham to Eakins, which accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, is the first book to present and document this important collection, and will be widely welcomed by students, scholars and admirers of American art. Fitz Hugh Lane, George Caleb Bingham, Martin Johnson Heade, Frederic Edwin Church, John F. Peto, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Eakins are all featured. Following a general essay on Wilmerding as scholar, teacher and collector, the book features a comprehensive catalog of the collection with detailed descriptions of each work, information on provenance and exhibition history, and large-format illustrations.
