Sullivan, Charles (Ed.): America in Poetry. NY: Abrams, 1988.
Sehr gutes Ex. - "The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem," wrote Walt Whitman. Within these pages are voices that are distinctly American and take the reader through America's many times and many moods. Selecting from a wide range of sources, editor and poet Charles Sullivan has brought together over one hundred poems-by famous as well as lesser-known poets-that tell of historical events, the natural beauty of the landscape, the great American promise, the people who inhabit the land and their inner conflicts. Enhancing and illustrating the poetry are one hundred diverse works of art-including paintings, drawings, photographs, engravings, folk art, and maps-by many of America's most notable artists. A poem by Benjamin Franklin appears with the wooden bust sculpted from life by William Rush . . . Dolley Madison's lines on Lafayette are accompanied by a rare photograph of her by Mathew Brady . . . "Crossing Nation" by Allen Ginsberg is paired with his photograph of Jack Kerouac . . . Sylvia Plath's "Sleep in the Mojave Desert" is illustrated with a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe. These are but a few of the many treasures to be found within this volume. A unique introduction both to American poetry and to American art, this is a beautiful book for the entire family-for sharing and for personal enjoyment. Seasoned poetry readers will find new poets among their favorites. Art lovers will delight in the splendid array of America's fine arts. Here is a book of poetry that will be read, looked at, shared, and loved for generations. // 100 illustrations, including 50 plates in full color. // Ansel Adams, Scott M. Allen, Thomas P.

Simpson, Marc, Sally Mills and Jennifer Saville: The American Canvas: Paintings from the Collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, New York: Hudson Hills Press Inc.,U.S., 1990. ISBN: 9781555950255
Ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The collection of American paintings at The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco is certainly one of the great survey collections anywhere. It was formed by the combination of the holdings of the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, and the collection of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd, given to the consolidated institutions ten years ago. - The American Canvas presents more than one hundred works from this collection, selected both for their individual importance and because together they form a representative overview of the history of American painting from 1670 to the mid-twentieth century Each work is reproduced in full color, and each is accompanied by an extensive text discussing the artist's life and career as well as the work itself in aesthetic terms and in terms of its historical context. The volume is thus a comprehensive documentation of aesthetic and historic accomplishment, a beautiful and colorful record of the American mind and spirit. - The 105 paintings by 89 artists include many noted masterpieces, among them such icons of American art as John Vanderlyn's Cains Marius amid the Ruins of Carthage, George Caleb Bingham's Boatmen on the Missouri and.Country Politician, Frederic Edwin Church's Rainy Season in the Tropics, William M. Harnett's After the Hunt, Alexander Pope's Trumpeter Swan, Thomas Anshutz's The Ironworkers' Noontime, John Singer Sargent's A Dinner Table at Night (The Glass of Claret), and Grant Wood's Dinner for Threshers.
