Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-21 00:00:00 Anthony Angel This is an encyclopedic look at Asian artists who lived in the United States from 1850-1970. What a herculean task to find and gather these artists in one book! There are many names which are unfamiliar, and should not be. The cover painting of Chiura Obata's, Setting Sun: Sacramento Valley, is a masterpiece.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-27 00:00:00 David Bartlett This is a beautifully produced art book with many insightful essays about Jacob Lawrence's work. I have admired this artist's work for many years, but didn't know much about him, so the essays in this volume helped me to understand his background and the context of his paintings. Excellent, interesting reading and beautiful reproductions.
