400 prints, mostly in full color. In order by year. 336 total HUGE pages. Text fills all the blank space, so lots of details.

This delightful little volume presents the work of so many incredible artists alongside brief but still incredibly informative text. A great introduction to the American impressionists.

I love this little book full of art and the story of the artists who created them. Impressionism made an impression on the Americans and it moved them into a whole new way of looking at things. This little guide will be on my shelf to read over and over, especially to look at the work of these great artists.

While many might argue that the greatest Impressionists hailed from France, one look through this book will reveal the incredible talent that emerged from America. It's packed with stunning paintings by some truly remarkable artists. This is one of my favorite books to explore whenever I need inspiration. High praise for this book—an absolute must-have for any art lover.
