Reviews "Early Art and Artists in West Virginiaprovides an impressive body of research, well-written and well-documented. I see this as an excellent example of a growing number of studies in which individual states are recording their artistic heritages, and none is perhaps more varied or interesting than West Virginia's."Jessie Poesch, author ofThe Art of the Old South    ,  "Early Art and Artists in West Virginia provides an impressive body of research, well-written and well-documented.

Synopsis"Early Art and Artists in West Virginia" is copiously illustrated with 136 plates accompanying the essays on portraiture and landscape painting, which form the first half of the book. A similar number of smaller illustrations in full color bring life to a biographical directory in the second part of the book, which contains nearly one thousand known painters who worked in West Virginia. Many West Virginians will find their family names in this directory, and some will doubtless locate the information here that they have long sought in order to learn more about a painting in their family's possession. The book is supported by an extensive bibliography on the state's artistic heritage and a full index to both the directory and the essays., This volume is copiously illustrated with 136 plates accompanying the essays on portraiture and landscape painting, which form the first half of the book.
