Eastman Johnson: The Cranberry Harvest, Island of Nantucket

This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition at the San Diego Timken Art Gallery in 1990. An essay about the painting begins the book, followed by color plates of the painting and preparatory studies. Next are three essays: Marc Simpson's "Taken with a Cranberry Fit: Eastman Johnson on Nantucket", Sally Mill's "'Right Feeling and Sound Technique'": French Art and the Development of Eastman Johnson's Outdoor Genre Paintings", and Patricia Hill's "Afterword/Afterwards: Eastman Johnson's Transition to Portrait Painting in the Early 1880s". A chronology of Johnson's life and career, his visits to Nantucket, critical opinions of the painting from the time it was painted, and a list of Johnson family land holdings on Nantucket are also included.
