Summary

The Warner Collection--one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of American art still in private hands--addresses themes central to America's past and present. The works selected for this book range from an 18th century protrait of George Washington to a 1995 image of Thomas Jefferson, from landscapes of the Hudson River School to views of the American West, and from American Impressionism to 20th century Realism. All touch upon dreams that have shaped the American experience. --cover.
