Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Evolution of an American Impressionist, Edited by Linda McWhorter

The exhibition catalogue Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Evolution of an American Impressionist, edited by Linda McWhorter in association with the Telfair Museum of Art, is the first volume devoted to Frieseke's work. An excellent blend of biography and art history, the book opens with a family narrative written by the artist's grandson, who had access to all of Frieseke's papers and photographs. Three highly regarded specialists in American art have each contributed an essay on different stages in Frieseke's career, analyzing his work and putting it into historical perspective. Concluding with an invaluable chronology that corrects numerous errors perpetuated over the years, Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Evolution of an American Impressionist will be an essential publication for American art enthusiasts.

More than 100 color reproductions and close to 80 black-and-white illustrations adorn this gorgeous 216-page catalogue accompanying the first major retrospective of Frieseke's work. Color hardcover.
