Georgia O'Keeffe, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Jacob Lawrence, Winslow Homer, and Piet Mondrian are some of the 79 artists whose depictions of New York are included in this handsome volume. The book focuses exclusively on Manhattan, and contains varied views of the city: the harbor, street scenes, Wall Street, skyscrapers, lives of the affluent and of the working class. These images portray the evolution of the city over a period of 150 years, and the book includes quotations from artists and writers about New York, as well as interesting text on the artists' relationships with the city. Includes 97 color images. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
