This is not a big book and is definitely not a coffee table book, but for someone who loves landscape painting it is very much worth having. The book features early California landscape painters--those working from the last years of the 19th C. up to about the middle of the 20th C., with one painting per page with the facing page giving information on the life and artistic style of each painter (which school of art he belonged to, e.g., California Impressionist). (This format of text and painting on facing pages is my favorite.) For those who like landscape painting but have not encountered California landscape painting, the book will be a revelation. Cezanne would have (should have) given his left arm to have had the variety of motifs that California would have afforded him.
