Harold Frank: Abstract Expressionist by Sandie Stern. 2001. Brings this exciting early American abstract expressionist back to the art world’s attention. Harold Frank grew up in the tenements of New York and after serving in World War II, joined the growing number of young, disillusioned American artists making their foray into the new art: abstract expressionism. Educated at the finest American art institutions, Frank took his place among the great recognized artists of the day: DeKooning, Stamos, Diebenkorn, Appel, Baselitz, Magnelli, Da Silva, Dubuffet, Geis, Alechinsky, Tobey, Hockney, etc. Late in life he became more and more reclusive. He hoarded his paintings and disappeared from the art scene of the time. This book brings him back into the limelight after having been missing for more than 20 years. Fabulously illustrated. 197 color, 18 bw illus. 122pp. 12 1/2×9 1/2. Hardcover $65.

John Frost: . A Quiet Mastery by Phil Kovinich. Irvine Museum, 2013.California impressionist John Frost’s paintings are highly regarded by collectors and scholars. He studied his craft in Paris and Giverny and after recuperating from tuberculosis, decided to travel to the American west. His paintings are infused with a soft, but colorful palette and reflect his classical training as well as the influences of the French impressionists. His father, Arthur B. Frost, was one of America’s foremost illustrators and through his family ties he developed a close friendship with Guy Rose. They often painted together on fishing trips and his style is more closely related to Rose’s than any other artist. This handsome book of Frost’s life and work features 300 excellent color illustrations. 300 color, 37 b&w illus. 239pp. 12 1/4×9 1/4. Softcover $25. Hardcover $50.

The Society of Six by Nancy Boas. Copyright 1988. Reprinted 1997. 1917…six young plein air painters from the Bay area form an association that lasts for 15 years whose innovations still reverberate in the art world today. Selden Connor Gile, Maurice Logan, William H. Clapp, August F. Gay, Bernard Von Eichman and Louis Siegriest, influenced by the art of the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, shocked the patrons of the period with their colorful, post-impressionistic paintings. They created an expressive modernism of their own that influenced the next generation of northern California artists including Diebenkorn and Thiebaud. Interestingly written, Nancy Boas manages to bring to life the period and art of this fascinating group. 100 color, 59 b&w illus. 224pp. 12×9 1/2. Softcover $52.95.
