From Publishers Weekly:
The Adler collection of 19th- and 20th-century drawings and watercolors by American artists was begun over 20 years ago with the purchase of Leon Kroll's Head of a Young Woman. The collection was extended to include the work of Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer , John Frederick Kensett and John Singer Sargent , and later artists such as Reginald Marsh and Saul Steinberg. But the Adlers' interest in the images of women remains the focus, readily apparent in the 18 color plates and 77 duotone reproductions that here catalogue virtually the entire collection. Weber ( Arnold Newman in Florida ) discusses the pictures, which comprise landscapes, still lifes and abstractions. This catalogue of a traveling exhibition details the provenance of each in an elegant, simple design that enhances the subjects and unifies the collection. Unfortunately, however, the book provides no information about the collectors themselves, noting only that the Adlers are "avid."

Book Description Condition: Sehr gut. 187 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Susan and Herbert Adler are among the most avid contemporary collectors of American drawings. Their fine collection, while concentrating on works from the period 1880 to 1940, actually extends from an 1820 wash drawing by Thomas Sully to a 1968 acrylic by Lucas Samaras. It is especially rich in figurative works, still lifes, and abstractions, including several influenced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Of exceptional interest are a series of images of women, both portraits and figure studies, a number of which echo the work of the Pre-Raphaelites. Drawn from Tradition, which publishes the Adler Collection virtually in its entirety, provides a fascinating survey of the achievements of American draftsmen. The nineteenth-century works in the collection include sheets by Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, John Haberle, William M. Harnett, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Eastman Johnson, and John Frederick Kensett; among the later artists represented are George Ault, George Bellows, Isabel Bishop, Oscar Bluemner, Joseph Cornell, Robert Henri, AI Hirschfeld, Rockwell Kent, Louis Lozowick, Reginald Marsh, Elie Nadelman, John Singer Sargent, Saul Steinberg, and Charles White. In all, Drawn from Tradition documents and reproduces nearly 100 drawings in full color and duotone. ISBN 155595023X Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1550 Mit zahlr. auch farb. Abb.
