O knihe

The product of "How to Research, Write and Publish an Art History Book in American Art", Enchantment: The Art and Life of Lilian Westcott Hale, America's Linear Impressionist, details the life and art of Dedham, Massachusetts artist Lilian Westcott Hale. In the decades following the turn of the twentieth century, Hale was famous for her oil portraits of children, her charcoal renderings of the wooded environs of her home, and her images of beautiful women clothed in period dress situated in simple, elegant interiors. Hale's contribution to art history was her singular development of a technique of creating images comprised solely of vertical strokes. She used vertical line in an Impressionist manner - the first and only artist to do so. During her lifetime her compositions won national and international acclaim - and her classic images are still widely admired today. "How to Research, Write and Publish An Art History Book in American Art" details the methodologies employed in researching Enchantment, from the initial step of locating the artist's obituary through the processes of contacting relatives and friends of the artist, verifying and acquiring the results, to make the cumbersome task of research and writing a book a simple, logical process that anyone can accomplish.
