Hyman Bloom

Dorothy Abbott Thompson

Hyman Bloom, perhaps America's greatest expressionist, is honored for the first time in this book dedicated to his life and work. Bloom's work is violent, dark, theatrical and fluid; few artists have merged brutality and sensitivity so effortlessly in the tradition of Durer and Goya. Bloom's work is included in the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Boston Museum of Fine Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum. All of Bloom's major themes are illustrated in this volume in 31 full-color illustrations. His work derives its strength from his perception of Judaism and his fascination with Eastern thought and mysticism.

William H. Gerdts

This landmark book, the first major study of one of America's eminent Impressionists, examines the life and work of Theodore Clement Steele (1847-1926). Born in a "little log house in an orchard" near Gosport, Indiana, T. C. Steele had a lifelong love affair with the Indiana landscape, but the timeless universality of his picture-making provides his depictions of the midwestern landscape and cityscape with a welcoming familiarity that appeals to all lovers of art and nature.
