Society
of Six - California Colorists
$45.00 plus shipping/handling
Six plein-air painters in Oakland, California, joined together in 1917
to form an association that lasted nearly fifteen years. The Society of
Six--Selden Connor Gile, Maurice Logan, William H. Clapp, August F. Gay,
Bernard von Eichman, and Louis Siegriest--created a color-centered modernist
idiom that shocked establishment tastes but remains the most advanced painting
of its era in Northern California. Nancy Boas's well-informed and sumptuously
illustrated chronicle recognizes the importance of these six painters in
the history of American Post-Impressionism.
Combining biography and critical analysis, Nancy Boas offers a fitting tribute
to the lives and exhilarating painting of the Society of Six.
