At the heart of this beautiful volume is a remarkable collection of paintings amassed in the late 1980s by Texans Hugh and Marie Halff. The works range from Ernest Lawson's celebration of modern urbanism in his Flatiron Building (1906-07), to the exoticism of Harry Siddons Mowbray's Two Women (1893-96), and the harmonious plein-air geometry of Theodore Robinson's The Anchorage, Cos Cob(1894).
The Halff s collection spans the period in American art known as The Gilded Age, when Ruskin's credo of truth to nature gave way to Whistler's rallying cry of art for art's sake .

Etat : Sehr gut. 134 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The Halff Collection provides a rare insight into a stunning private collection of American art. Hugh and Marie Halff, connoisseurs based in San Antonio, Texas. Every one of the artists in the Halff collection studied in France between the 1870s and the 1920s. That range encompasses artists rich in stylistic influence and painterly flair. While impressionists such as Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, and John Twachtman figure prominently, the collection also includes works by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper, and other luminaries. Impressionist landscapes by Willard Metcalf and Theodore Robinson offset contemplative interiors by William Paxton and Edmund Tarbell. Wheter under the spell of French impressionists James McNeill Whistler, Near Eastern romance, or Japanese prints-these worldly artists shaped American taste, and helped bring American art into the modern era.
