This handsomely produced catalog of the traveling exhibition (at the Portland Museum of Art, ME, from June 22 to Sept. 10) focuses on some of the finest and most avant-garde works in pastels, watercolors, and drawings by modernists of the early 20th century. Organized chronologically and edited by Kornhauser (chief curator & Krieble Curator of American Painting & Sculpture, Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art), this volume opens with an enlightening historical-contextual chapter on the history of modern American wa-rntercolors and drawings, while subsequent essays describe and illustrate the development and diversity of this evolving genre.
