- catalog abstract ""Although the history of painting in Boston during the first half of the twentieth century has been well recorded, with particular attention to the so-called Boston School of academic painters, the latter half of the century has been relatively neglected, despite the remarkable body of work produced during that period. This handsome volume, created by DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in conjunction with a major exhibition, is the first to document the importance of painting produced in Boston after 1950 and the impact of modernist and postmodernist issues on this work." "The book includes essays by five experts in the field, presenting and analyzing the work of sixty-seven artists. Rachel Rosenfield Lafo introduces the reader to the Boston art scene, from the academic institutions that have nourished the area's painters, to the galleries where their work has been shown, to the museums, exhibitions, and critics that have shaped public opinion. Writing about the realist tradition that has thrived in Boston for over three hundred years, John Stomberg focuses on a group of painters of widely differing styles who have redefined realism in modern and contemporary terms."--Jacket.".
