Rating:
Summary: A vivid artbook and treasure
Review: In association with Hudson Hills Press, The Art Institute of Chicago's Window On The West is a truly inspirational artbook collecting and showcases individual pieces originally created from 1890-1940 In a Chicago art community that romanced the ideal of the American West. Oil-on-canvas works, portraits of (sometimes overly romanticized) Native American heroes, sculptures, and much, much more, combine with an informed and informative text providing the reader with an extensive art history. A vivid artbook and treasure, illuminating to read and rapturous to view, Window On The West would make a welcome and popular addition to any personal, professional, academic, or community library American Art History collection.
