Offers a behind-the-scenes look at a significant era in the development and emergence of modern American art.
Sharing for the first time the life-long correspondence between Walter Pach-artist, author, art critic, art consultant, teacher, museum lecturer-and many of the most influential members of the literary and art worlds of his day, this book reveals Pach to be one of the unsung heroes who promoted European and American modern art during the first half of the twentieth century.
"This book augments an expanding arena of primary and secondary source material and critical studies in the fields of American art and culture. With the fairly recent passing of the generations of figures represented in twentieth-century American art and culture, documentation is crucial in establishing historical records that go beyond folklore and hearsay." — Jeanette M. Toohey, The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens
"Walter Pach was a significant figure in American art during the first part of this century, an important developmental time not only for American art but for international art as well. Pach is not generally well known except among scholars of this period, so these letters will be revealing to many as they demonstrate his influence as a critic, writer, advocate, and artist." — Judith Hansen O'Toole, Westmoreland Museum of American Art
