Ten American Painters

This lavishly illustrated, 188-page volume includes an introduction by William H. Gerdts and essays by experts on the individual artists in this group to which many of the best-known American artists of the late nineteenth century belonged: Frank W. Benson, William Merritt Chase, Joseph DeCamp, Thomas W. Dewing, Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Robert Reid, Edward Simmons, Edmund C. Tarbell, John H. Twachtman, and J. Alden Weir. In addition to color images of the eleven works in the exhibition, there are thirty-six color plates and over one hundred black and white illustrations, many of rediscovered works. Providing a comprehensive survey of the Ten's twenty-one years of existence and a study of each members' participation in the group, this catalogue is of great value to American art history.
