Summary

With styles ranging from traditional to abstract, the works in this volume span late nineteenth-century and twentieth-century American art and include examples from both Europe and Latin America. Many of the paintings play on the boundaries between reality and fantasy, contain elements of humor or satire, or are rendered in a highly colorful, expressive style which does not directly imitate the natural world.
