Description:

If you're interested in landscape painting, there can’t be a book better than this one. Harrison lived to see the French impressionists blossom, and lived to see them re-evaluate their spot and dash system, and eventually shed it. He saw the American painters harvest the best of what the French discovered, and take landscape painting much farther. And he describes every bit of it. His explanation of refraction, vibration, and other terms are just perfect, and the chapter on composition is marvelous! The book would be necessary for amateurs interested in painting and professionals devoting their lives to painting.

The cool colors blue, green, mauve, violet, and all the delicate intervening grays are, on the contrary, restful colors in the emotional sense; and the wisdom of the choice of these tones for the landscape scheme of the world is...
