Editorial Reviews

This ambitious and comprehensive book is needed by every student and teacher/professor of Contemporary Art.

Angiola Churchill

The clarity and inclusiveness of Judy Collischan's excellent survey of American art makes it essential as both a reference and a teaching tool. The truth is in the details, the overview is superb.

John Perreault

With her e-book, Judy Collischan has created a new way - via links - to view text and images online. Talent to see and ability to decipher art plus a practical mind is, in my opinion, the bright formula of her work. Thanks to her vision, she has succeeded in designing a clear map of the state of the American art milieu over a century and a half integrated into its socio-political frame. Impartial and transparent, her book presents original ideas and fresh points of view.
