----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Greetings: Other than "Themes in American Painting: a reference work to common styles and genres," does anyone know and/or recommend another title that could help students locate various works by theme? The specific request I have in mind, is for works depicting "hope and despair." Thanks for any recommendations!
