Zustand: FINE. First printing. The "manifesto of a group of American realist painters known collectively as the Boston School, a work which traces the roots of a classical tradition in search of lost beauty. In addition to more than 160 color plates of recent and historical works, this book presents a compelling analysis by twelve members of the school of the crisis confronting the modern painter and the demand for a return to representation of the natural world. The tradition of the Boston School extends from the two dozen painters represented here to Boston's R.H. Ives Gammell, who taught many of these artists . . It is a tradition which encompasses Edmund Tarbell, J.M. Whistler, J.S. Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Joseph DeCamp, Childe Hassam. . In gathering and preparing the materials for this book, Richard Lack spent nearly two years collating, compiling, and corresponding with these artists in all parts of America and in Europe."
