(More customer reviews)Carl W. Peters, American Scene Painter from Rochester to Rockport.is the first comprehensive look at the American Scene and mural painter. Art historian, artist, gallery owner, and former media personality Richard Love, a consummate scholar and cultural commentator, contrasts the European-inspired traditions and modern movement with "home-grown" American realism. Throughout the book, Love's extraordinary grasp of American artistic and cultural events enriches the story of Peters' life and art in a marvelous way. We conclude that Peters was a distinctive American artist. This remarkable book, beautiful in design, dense in delineation of all aspects of American culture, and rich in expression will long be the scholarly standard for the life and works of Carl W. Peters, who rose from humble origins on a farm in the Genesee country to become an outstanding painter of the American Scene.

This extensive and lavishly produced book provides, for the first time, a detailed analysis of the history of American Scene painting and Regionalism with an emphasis on artists active during the period between the two World Wars. Though little known until recently, Carl W. Peters embodied the essence of American Scene painting throughout his extremely productive life. His works are considered here within the broad panorama of cultural and intellectual history during these exciting decades, when modernism and indigenous American realism were in constant conflict.
