Art in the American South: Works from the Ogden Collection

Written for the general reader, this oversize volume (10x13.25") presents 237 full-page color reproductions of pieces selected from the Ogden Collection of Sourthern Art, which currently numbers some 1,200 works, including oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculptures, and photographs dating from the early 18th century to the present. Diverse selected works are arranged by theme and chronologically within each section. The text traces artistic trends and movements in the region, examining not only southern art but the vision of the South that emerges from that art. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
