Cowboy Artists of America

Summary: Beautiful Reproductions of Western Art
Review: The Cowboy Artists of America Museum (now the National Center for American Western Art) was built several years ago near the location of the trails I rode as a teenager growing up in Kerrville, Texas. I visit the museum every time I am in Kerrville and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. For years, I have wished for a book that contains a wide representation of the paintings of the members of the Cowboy Artists of America, and this book surpasses my greatest expectations. It is always a challenge to reproduce great art in book form, but Greenwich has done a superb job. The book is very well organized and contains interesting biographies of the artists, along with a collection of the paintings of each. I would recommend it without reservation to anyone interested in art, especially Western art. The reproductions are almost as breathtaking as the actual paintings, not an easy task to accomplish.
