American primitive painting

This is a beautiful book and I am so glad there are still booksellers who stock this sort of wonderful out - of - print book.

The first of its kind and still a standard.

A very basic reference only, visually speaking, as all bar 8 of the 101 illustrations are black and white, a fact nowhere to be seen in the product description. For an art book, totally pointless. Then again, it is an old book, this edition published in 1972, and the illustrated works look as though they would have been very interesting examples of the style, had they been reproduced in colour - two stars for that reason. Nevertheless, very disappointing.
