American Art at the Nineteenth-Century Paris Salons

Lois Fink presents a study of nineteenth-century American art within the context of French art as presented at the Paris Salons - annual exhibitions of contemporary art which, at the time, were the most important events in the Western world. Through acceptance at the Paris exhibitions, American artists won international renown during their lifetimes and, they hoped, a place in history among the great masters of Western art. This book contains a list of all 5,000 Salon works exhibited by Americans throughout the century, which includes not only the titles of works shown at each exhibition, but also a record of artists' teachers and their addresses.Fink, Lois M. is the author of 'American Art at the Nineteenth-Century Paris Salons' with ISBN 9780521384995 and ISBN 0521384990.
