American Paintings in the Brooklyn Museum: Artists Born by 1876

Winner of the College Art Association Alfred H. Barr, Jr. Award 2006 and the Association of Art Museum Curators Outstanding Catalogue Based on a Permanent Collection 2006, this 2-volume catalogue is remarkable for its scope, depth, and quality. The inclusion of a critical 2-part introduction on the history of the founding and growth of the collection sets this catalogue above many publications that have merely provided standardized information on artists and individual objects, without a larger context. This catalogue will become a milestone in the study of American painting.
