Masters of Color and Light: Homer, Sargent, and the American Watercolor Movement

Rating:
Summary: All the usual suspects and a few surprises too
Review: A good over view of how watercolor caught on in America and rose to the standard of English work in that medium. Worth getting for the chapter on William Trost Richards, who really ought to be part of an American Watercolor Triumverate, along with Homer and Sargent. There are out of print monographs on Richards but this seems to be the best place to see examples of his work if you can't get your hands on them.
