Los Angeles: Goldfield Galleries, 1980.William
Louis Sonntag traces the life of the late nineteenth century
American landscape artist from his early years in Cincinnati
to his eventual residence in New York City where he became a
member of the prestigious National Academy of Design and pursued
the major part of his career. The biography describes the artist's
four style periods as he moved from the tight Hudson River style
inspired by Thomas Cole to the softer and more poetic Barbizon
style popular at the end of the century. It is followed by two
checklists that list all artworks known by the artist in 1975.
It is the first and only book on the artist and the only source
of substantive information.

Laguna Beach. For more information and to order please email
