Description: American Art at Dumbarton Oaks, Paperback by Carder, James N., ISBN 0884023664, ISBN-13 9780884023661, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss, the founders of Dumbarton Oaks, were not, per se, collectors of American art. Nevertheless, they acquired interesting and, at times, important examples of American paintings, drawings, etchings, and sculptures. Such acquisitions were but a part of an overall collection that comprised ancient Chinese, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Pre-Columbian, and European old master artworks as well as rars, literary manuscripts and correspondence, important furnishings, unusual bibelots, and concert-quality instruments. The American artworks that remain at Dumbarton Oaks offer an important insight into the Blisses' remarkable breadth of vision for their collection. This volume highlights the American art collection at Dumbarton Oaks and is published in conjunction with the exhibition American Art at Dumbarton Oaks. An introductory essay describes the formation of this collection by Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss and their parents Anna and William Henry Bliss, while the subsequent catalogue entries elaborate on nineteen artworks by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Elihu Vedder, Walter Gay, Childe Hassam, Albert Edward Sterner, Henry Golden Dearth, and Bernice Cross.
