""Elemental" is the perfect word to describe George Olson's watercolor drawings of the plants of the tallgrass prairie. In The Elemental Prairie, the combination of Olson's luminous drawings and John Madson's essay "The Running Country" encourages us to look at the prairie world with newly appreciative eyes." "For some years George Olson has focused almost exclusively on the grasses and wildflowers of the North American prairie, meticulously reproducing their elemental structures and colors while - proving once again that art can both imitate and enhance nature - emphasizing their magical loveliness. By painting certain species in their winter and summer "plumages," he reveals the plants' stark wintry frame-work as well as their more glorious warm-weather beauty." "The Elemental Prairie presents sixty glowing images of tallgrass plants, from the familiar purple coneflower and black-eyed Susan to the less-often-seen rattlesnake master and compass plant. Together Olson and John Madson, two dedicated prairie restorationists, one using images and the other using words, create a living prairie in all its brilliance."--Jacket.

The fascinating story of the transformation of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925 The formation of the American Watercolor Society in 1866 by a small, dedicated group of painters transformed the perception of what had long been considered a marginal medium. Artists of all ages, styles, and backgrounds took up watercolor in the 1870s, inspiring younger generations of impressionists and modernists. By the 1920s many would claim it as ?the American medium.? This engaging and comprehensive book tells the definitive story of the metamorphosis of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925, identifying the artist constituencies and social forces that drove the new popularity of the medium. The major artists of the movement ? Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, William Trost Richards, Thomas Moran, Thomas Eakins, Charles Prendergast, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Charles Demuth, and many others ? are represented with lavish color illustrations. The result is a fresh and beautiful look at watercolor?s central place in American art and culture.
