"Americans were introduced to Impressionism by the French in the 1880s. They explored its expressive potential and debated its merits in the 1890s, and by the turn of the twentieth century, American painters had seized the style for their own. Masters of Light: Selections of American Impressionism from the Manoogian Collection accompanies an exhibition of the same name organized by Jennifer A. Bailey and Lucinda H. Gedeon for the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Included are thirty examples of American Impressionist painting by the seminal artists who redefined the movement for American audiences, including Frank W. Benson, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Williard Leroy Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, John Singer Sargent, John Henry Twachtman, and others." Featuring contributions by some of the clearest voices and leading authorities on American Impressionism, Masters of Light brings into the spotlight brilliant and rarely seen paintings while illuminating their place in the larger currents of American art history. An essay by Kevin Sharp, "The Americanization of Impressionism," examines the unintentional circumstances and deliberate efforts that transformed Impressionism from an expression of the French vanguard into an international style, and eventually, into a peculiarly American enterprise.

Masters of Light: Selections of American Impressionism from the Manoogian Collection
Eli is a friend of mine. In this book he tells a gossipy story about the place I have called home for nearly 30 years. Told in a series of short chapters with titles such as, "A Memorable Night at Claude's Bar" and "Indians Forever" his stories deal with the very early days of the Santa Fe art colony and end about the time I moved to Santa Fe in the early 80's. It was a special treat to read about these people, many of whom I met later in their lives, and the places, such as Canyon Road, which have been forever changed by the growth of the city. A growth which had begun in earnest by the time I arrived in 1981.
Eli is an agnostic humanist if ever there was one, which allows him to take hard and sometimes cruel looks into the failings of others. His socialist leanings make him not so much a graceful or poetic writer as a utilitarian one. But his stories of early Santa Fe are vividly told and populated with real people. It especially takes off for me when he speaks with such love for his mentor Arthur Haddock. And here he also has the opportunity to talk with great surety about the nature of painting as he sees it.
Eli has always been in-the-mix of Santa Fe's art scene. He has always been observant and curious about the activities of others while continuing upon his prolific personal journey. No one else in Santa Fe could have written this book and I am thankful to him for having done so.
