[Rarebooks] FS: American Artists Biographical Dictionary 1898-1947 "Who Was Who"

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“Who Was Who in American Art”

Edited by Peter H. Falk.
Published by the Sound View Press in 1985.

"Compiled from the original 34 volumes volumes of the American Art 
Annual: Who's in Art, biographies of American artists active from 
1898-1947". The Library Journal noted: "An impressively comprehensive 
work on artists active from 1898 to 1947, this is a compilation from the 
original 30 volumes of American Art Annual (1898-1933) and Who's Who in 
American Art (1935-47)a span broad enough to include artists who were at 
their peak decades before 1898, e.g., Bierstadt and Whistler, as well as 
contemporary artists who achieved prominence at a young age, e.g., 
Motherwell and Pollock. A historical record with information originally 
obtained from the artists, it is augmented by biographical data often 
compiled from obituaries. The guide to abbreviations of museums, 
exhibitions, schools, and associations includes brief histories. Artists 
of all media along with dealers, collectors, curators, critics, and 
educators are cited. This attractive, well-bound book is essential for 
art reference collections. Highly recommended."
