E. Ambrose Webster (1869-1935) was among the earliest and most accomplished American Modernists. His rhapsodic landscapes of blazing sunlight and explosive colour are startling even today for their innovation. He was an artist in whom Edward Hopper "coulf find no flaw", while Richard Diebenkorn thought Webster painted some of the most vigorous and notable colour essays in the history of American art. AUTHOR: E. Ambrose Webster: Chasing the Sun is the first in-depth study of Webster's career. Author Gail R. Scott reveals the breadth of Webster's achievement in a richly illustrated book featuring more than 150 colour plates, as well as photographs of Webster, his family, colleagues, and travels. 170 colour o25 b/w illustrations
