William Merritt Chase: The Paintings in Pastel Monotypes Painted Ronald G. Pisano

A perennial favorite of museum visitors, the works of William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) embody the quintessential characteristics of American Impressionism: outdoor landscapes, a colorful palette, and an energetic brushstroke. He was also a portrait painter of the first rank, a master of still life, a renowned teacher, and a leader of artists' societies. This beautifully produced book, with 122 color and 41 black and white illustrations, features his stunning paintings in pastel (they were not "drawings," but were heavily layered and worked oils on paper), which constitute a major and previously understudied body of work by the artist. Here too are monotypes, painted tiles and plates, watercolors, and prints. The book is the first of a four-volume catalog of all of Chase's known work.

"An extraordinary achievement on the part of Ronald Pisano. His work enriches our appreciation of a towering talent in late-19th-century American art."
