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 marvel
...ous! The book would be necessary for amateurs interested in painting and professionals devoting their lives to painting.
