Books by Judith A. Barter

Focusing on the Art Institute's outstanding collection of American modernism, this title includes over 175 important paintings, sculptures, decorative art objects, and works on paper made in North America between World War II and 1955.

The Art Institute of Chicago is home to one of the world's finest - and largest - collections of American folk art. Including reproductions and detailed entries for each of the sixty-one objects it features, this book highlights an array of masterworks such as "primitive" New England portraits, a face jug from South Carolina, and ship figureheads.
