American Artists, Authors, and Collectors

"As an artist, author, critic, consultant, teacher, and museum lecturer, Walter Pach was instrumental in shaping America's attitudes toward modern art during the first half of the twentieth century. In American Artists, Authors, and Collectors, Bennard Perlman offers selections from Pach's lifelong correspondence with such important figures as Marcel Duchamp, Alfred Stieglitz, Arthur B. Davies, Walter Arensberg, Duncan Phillips, and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. The letters' range, as well as their content, reveal the extent of Pach's influence and provide insight into a significant era in the development and emergence of American art as a world force. Also included are an introduction and overview of Pach's life, as well as headnotes on each correspondent and footnotes that illuminate and explain items of interest in each of the letters."--BOOK JACKET.
