Description: Arguing that a unique visual accent—comparable to a spoken one—exists in American fine arts, this exhibit catalog presents and discusses 87 works, spotlighting 24 of them in large color plates, from Joseph Wright's 1784 portrait of John Coats Browne to Georgia O'Keeffe's 1925 Petunias. The other works are pictured in large color thumbnails in the exhibit checklist, and additional color and black and white figures appear throughout the book. Includes biographies of the artists.
