Synopsis
The author is simply a collector of many years who is seeking to impart his knowledge of formerly famous but now obscure 19th century American landscape painters. The stories of their lives are interesting and the images are wonderful. Time has simply passed them by leaving them forgotten by most and studied by few. Ralph Albert Blakelock had a clear vision of his work and stood steadfast to his art. The financial pressures of a large family and of continual rejection lead to psychological problems requiring institutionalization. After years of hospitalization, he began to achieve artistic and financial success only to have it plucked from him by a ruthless and fraudulent adventuress. Homer Dodge Martin sought to develop a new style of painting which would be a modification and extension of the landscapes of the Hudson River School. He struggled to earn a living from his work most of his life. he had eyesight problems since childhood and had been rejected from service in the Union army during the Civil War. He could not draw straight lines or perpendicular lines. None of this stropped him from focusing on his art. Alexander Helwig Wyant had moderate success throughout his life. he sought to create through his paintings "quiet spaces" which could be enjoyed by all. Suffering a devastating stroke asa young man did not deter him. The stroke immobilized his right hand, his painting hand. Wyant mastered painting with his left hand and achieved success. The paralysis eventually spread to his entire right side causing his to walk sideways but he still continued painting his landscapes. Pupils continued to come to him and he even married a young attractive student who was a successful painter of watercolors in her own right. These artists painted their landscapes at a time when the American public had lost interest in the Hudson River School or for that matter American paintings in general. European paintings were being sought by all and American paintings were being neglected. They all understood the trends and the changing tastes of the public but it did not stop them in continuing with their art and images. This is a short book with many footnotes and a detailed bibliography. If it wets your interest, you can find more and better books to read on the subject. As an aside, their paintings are still being bought and sold, making them available to the general public. I have carefully listed auction results from 1945 to the present and have included the present values of these older sale prices. As can be seen, these works are remarkably reasonable and they have exhibited little price change, if not actual declines, over many years. Over the many years there have been substantial increases and declines but as of now the prices are stable with the paintings being in little demand.

The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (#197064259889)
