Kentucky: The Master Painters from the Frontier Era to the Great Depression

Art historian and Kentucky native Pennington gives the reader an enjoyable journey through the paintings of Kentucky from the first white settlers to World War I. Each artist is introduced, his or her work discussed along with their place in the artistic trends of the time. Pennington also puts the art and artist within the history of Kentucky, often belying the crude frontier image many have learned from stories of Daniel Boone and log cabins. The plates that accompany each entry are beautifully rendered. Oversize 10.5 x 11.5 " Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
