Description

English artists have made a unique contribution to the art of watercolor painting. In no other Western country has this very attractive medium been used so consistently; or for works of such stature; as in England between 1750 and the present day. In this general survey of the whole period; Graham Reynolds; formerly Keeper of Paintings and of Prints and Drawings at the Victoria Albert Museum; discusses the paintings of over 100 artists including the well-known watercolorists such as Cozens; Girtin; Cotman and De Wint; as well as artists who are equally known for their work in other media - Gainsborough; Turner; Constable; Sargent; Henry Moore. The 140 illustrations; 64 in color; show the work of these and lesser-known artists and reveal the versatility of this medium; so the reader will be introduced to its use for illustrative caricature and portraiture as well as to the finest examples of traditional landscape watercolors.
