Gilbert Munger: Quest for Distinction

Rating:
Summary: A gorgeous full-color reproductions of Munger's artworks
Review: Michael D. Schroeder (the creator of www.gilbertmunger.org - a website presenting the catalogue raisonne of Gilbert Munger's more than 200 known works and documentation of the painter's life and art) and J. Gray Sweeney (Professor of Art History, Arizona State University) combine their considerable insights and expertise in Gilbert Munger: Quest For Distinction, an artbook that presents the works and explorations of nineteenth-century American visionary Gilbert Munger (1837-1903). It was Munger's travels which led him to represent the American West with a keen eye for accuracy combined with a dash of inspirational wonder. A very highly recommended addition to personal and academic Art History collections, the gorgeous full-color reproductions of Munger's artworks and informative and detailed text make Gilbert Munger: Quest For Distinction an inherently fascinating and informatively revealing search for the depth and meaning behind lasting works of Gilbert Munger's panoramic art.
