Sinopsis

During his lifetime Henry Ward Ranger was considered the dean of American landscape painting. He was the father of the Tonalist movement and founder of the School of Lyme. Unfortunately, the contribution made by this extraordinary and influential artist is not widely known and thus generally underappreciated. What biographical information has been available could, until recently, be found only in widely scattered sources. Estelle Riback's monograph now comprises the most complete and authoritative study of Ranger's life and art. Her painstaking research documents his legacy and places it in its proper artistic and critical contexts. It will become an essential resource for collectors, students, and museum visitors interested in the artist and the period.

Her research provides the most complete and authoritative account of Ranger, the influential American Tonalist painter and founder of the Lyme Art Colony.

De la contraportada

At the dawn of the twentieth century, Henry Ward Ranger was one of the most respected and influential leaders of the community of American landscape painters. He was the father of the Tonalist movement and founder of the School of Lyme. Unfortunately, the contribution made by this extraordinary artist is little known and generally underappreciated. Estelle Riback fills a gap in the literature of art history with a long-overdue volume dedicated entirely to the master of Tonalism. This is the first book to combine Ranger's life and work, and place his legacy in its proper artistic and critical contexts. Painstakingly researched, it is an invaluable reference for students, collectors and all who are interested in the period and the artist.
