Joshua Charles Taylor Book order (chronological)

Produced to complement the exhibition of the same name mounted at the National Collection of Fine Arts during the year of the Bicentennial of the American Revolution. The works were chosen from all parts of the country. This study is in no sense a survey of established artistic highlights of American art. It concentrates on works and aspects of art in America that are less well known.

Herschel B. Chipp's Theories of Modern Art: A Source Book By Artists and Critics is a collection of texts from letters, manifestos, notes and interviews. Sources include, as the title says, artists and critics—some expected, like van Gogh, Gauguin, Apollinaire, Mondrian, Greenberg, just to name a few—and some less so: Trotsky and Hitler, in the section on Art and Politics. The book is a wonderful resource and insight into the way artists think and work.
