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.
This book is is available from Gallery Grace in
Laguna Beach. For more information and to order please email

157 pps.; 30 color plates; 94 black and white
reproductions. $65.00.

About the Authors
Ralph J. Gorny earned a degree in history from John Carroll
University in Ohio but spent most of his career as a Licensed Clinical
Social Worker in the Fresno County Mental Health Department. A
chance purchase of a watercolor at a local auction led him to research
its artist and introduced him to the field of historic California art.
His dictionary of Fresno artists was the result of many trips to the
Madden Library at California State University, Fresno and his decision
to focus on local artists. Ellen
Halteman [Schwartz] is librarian at the California State Railroad
Museum, Sacramento. Her interest lies in Northern California art
before 1915 and to this end she has authored bibliographies of art books
and catalogues published before that date and has indexed several of the
most important art exhibitions held annually in northern California
before then. Phil Kovinick
and Marian Yoshiki-Kovinick, former teachers, are consummate
researchers in the fields of Western and early California art.
They co-authored An Encyclopedia of Women Artists of the American
West (winner of the 1998 Western Heritage Award for "Outstanding Art
Book") and contributed essays and articles to many other books on art.
Most recently Marian co-curated the exhibition A Seed of Modernism:
The Art Students League of Los Angeles (Pasadena Museum of
California Art) and Phil finalized his biography John Frost: A
Forgotten American Impressionist (Irvine Museum).
Nancy Dustin Wall Moure is a free lance curator/writer specializing
in the field of California art. She served as Assistant Curator of American
Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for fifteen years.
Her Dictionary of Art and Artists in Southern California Before
1930 (below), first issued in 1975, was a pioneering work
in the field of California art history. She has followed it
up with more than 50 books and articles. For her resume and list
of other publications, see home.earthlink.net/~nancymoure.
