Paris was the centre of the art world in the nineteenth century, magnet for American students and artists.

This is a beautifully produced book with iconic images by Sargent, Whistler, Mary Cassatt and Winslow Homer. This book traces the role of American artists in Paris from the Salon des Refuses, in 1863, to the emergence of a uniquely American style of painting.

Essays are generously illustrated with images and the essays are followed by a biography of each artist, and an illustrated and annotated list of works
