Maurice Prendergast: By the Sea

📖 The seaside watercolors, paintings, monotypes, and sketches of Maurice Prendergast invite viewers into a world of sunlight and sailboats, leisure and amusement. Accompanying the first retrospective of Prendergast's work in more than two decades, this sumptuously illustrated book traces the artist's experiments with different media and highlights the innovative techniques that established his reputation as an early modernist. Filled with exquisite reproductions of Prendergast's luminous works - from well-known masterpieces to equally compelling rarities - this volume also features contributions from an impressive roster of distinguished scholars who provide fresh ways of thinking about this quintessentially American artist.
