The Civil War in Art (A Visual Odyssey) by Jacobson, Doranne - 1996

Smithmark Publishers, NY, 1996. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. "Some of America's most complex and impassioned feelings were expressed by artists who worked during the conflict to render images of war in sketches, paintings, and photographs. They traveled with the armies, depicting soldiers as well as civilians at the front, documenting the leaders, encampments, and battlefields of both North and South....This volume focuses on the finest and most significant pictorial and sculptural representations of the Civil War, in addition to detailing the lives of some of the best-known artists of the period. Through these works, the profound tragedy of that conflict, and, alternately, the supreme beauty of harmonious peace, can begin to be understood." [Dust Jacket] Larger format.
