In his far-ranging introductory essay, Dr. Gerdts explores the context of California Impressionism, surveying the movements sources abroad, the most influential exhibitions in America, and the critical responses to the art and the artists.

Will South supplies an enlightening chronological narrative of the California Impressionists, starting with their often-ignored roots in the Hudson River school and other American realist art. Tracing the trajectory of their work from the innovations of the late 1800s to the styles final days in the 1920s and 30s, he offers vital new information and insight about their training and careers, as well as their ideas about art, nature, and the Golden State.

This book will be an invaluable resource and source of pleasure for the innumerable collectors, scholars, and art lovers who find this work—with its wind-swept coasts, majestic mountains, and poppy-strewn fields—irresistibly appealing.
