The American Artist and His Times

""The American Artist And His Times"" is a book written by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and William James Stillman, originally published in 1894. The book is a collection of essays and biographical sketches of American artists and their works during the 19th century.

The authors discuss the evolution of American art, from its early days of imitating European styles to the emergence of a uniquely American aesthetic.

They also examine the lives and works of notable artists such as Winslow Homer, John La Farge, and Thomas Eakins, providing insights into their artistic processes and the cultural and social contexts in which they worked.
