Art Students League of New York on Painting: Lessons and Meditations on Mediums, Styles, and Methods

AÂ New York TimesÂ Gift Pick: Coffee Table Books About New YorkÂ

A lushly illustrated, comprehensive guide to painting in all media from the prestigious visual arts education institution Art Students League of New York.

The Art Students League of New York is Americaâ€™s signature art school, run by artists for artists. Founded in 1875, it has nurtured students like Jackson Pollock and Georgia Oâ€™Keefe. Today, more than 2,500 students of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels study there each month.Â

This unique book brings you into the studio classrooms of some of the Leagueâ€™s most celebrated paintersâ€”including William Scharf, Mary Beth McKenzie, Henry Finkelstein, and Knox Martinâ€”for lessons on a variety of fundamental topics, idiosyncratic approaches, and quirky philosophies. Scanning the table of contents is like flipping through a course catalog: do you want to take Naomi Campbellâ€™s â€œWorking Large in Watercolor,â€ James McElhinneyâ€™s â€œJournal Painting and Composition,â€ Sharon Sprungâ€™s â€œFigure Painting from Life in Oil,â€ or Ellen Eagleâ€™s â€œPoetic Realism in Pastelâ€? Now you canâ€”from the comfort of your own home studio (or living room).Â

Richly illustrated with artwork from the Leagueâ€™s considerable archives, its instructors, and its students, this guide will inspire painters across all mediums, subjects, and styles.
