More than 70 impressionist and realist paintings from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of American art are featured in this richly illustrated catalogue, together with 30 paintings from Australian collections. Providing an engaging examination of a significant period of artistic and social change as seen through the eyes of leading American and Australian painters, this publication accompanies an exhibition organised by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in collaboration with the Queensland Art Gallery and Art Exhibitions Australia. It presents works by some of America's foremost artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Whistler, Sargent, Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, and Mary Cassatt.
