Title: Plein Air Painters of California, The North
Author(s): Ruth Westphal
"Completing the work begun by 'Plein Air Painters of California: The Southland,''which focused on the 'plein air,' or outdoor, painters working in Southern California from the 1890s through the 1930s, this volume presents their contemporaries working to the north. Actually, most of these painters, whose styles reflect a range from Romantic Realist and California Decorative to Impressionist and Post-Impressionist, traveled and painted throughout the length and breadth of California and elsewhere." "...this book is concerned with those who had homes and studios from Santa Barbara north." (Excerpt taken from the book's inside dust cover.)
