THE
ECCENTRICS
AND
OTHER
AMERICAN
VISIO;
PAINTERS
Here,
for
the
first
time,
is
a
study
of
an
important
body
of
American
paintings
from
around
1800
and
on
into
the
twentieth
century
in
which
the
scene
depicted
appears
to
have
been
caught
in
the
middle
of
a
dream
rather
than
being
based
on
palpable
reality.
In
these
visionary
paintings
more
deeply
felt,
is
more
authentic,
more
integrated,
and
more
deeply
moving
than
it
is
in
merely
fantastic
paintings.
Authentic
visionary
painting
was
like
a
small
stream
mean-
the
conjured-up
world
seems
to
be
dering
slowly
beside
the
two
great
torrents
of
nineteenth-century
American
painting:
the
one
realist,
the
other
insipidly
ideal.
Each
of
the
in
a
painters
studied
in
this
book,
whether
few
canvases
or
many,
produced
an
art
that
was
arrestingly
individual
for
its
time,
and
this
art
is
well
worth
our
interest
and
deeper
appreciation
today.

fascinating
book
