About this title

From Library Journal:

More than four centuries of life in America are represented here with portraits and paintings of various kinds; carvings and sculptures in wood, metal, and stone; furniture; textiles; and other pieces drawn from various museums, collections, and galleries. The concept of quality is discussed, with curators, collectors, and art critics offering their thoughts on how to define and measure it. Each piece is described and its special qualities illuminated, and there are insights into the genre, the artist's life, and current research findings. The text transforms this title from a mere coffee-table decoration into a valuable addition to art collections in public and academic libraries.
