Summary: William Wendt would not be Happy
Comment: I purchased the soft cover version, 64 pages long, there are 8 color photos of Wendt's paintings and 13 black and white. I'm sorry to say, the black and white photos DON'T do his paintings justice. And the color photos of his art work in this book, AREN'T the greatest either. ...I'm NOT really impressed with it. As far as what is written about Mr Wendt in the book... well.... Topics include: California Art Club; Wendt and Stendahl, The Letters; Four Conversations on William Wendt; and a few other topics. If your looking for quality photos of Mr Wendt's art work, I wouldn't look here in this book. And if your looking for something more in-depth on the life of William Wendt, well... I'd probably look elsewhere. In conclusion, I feel I wasted [my $].

Summary: A case study for how NOT to publish an art book
Comment: Eagerly waited for this book from Amazon for two months, only to be sorely disappointed in the low resolution, muddy colors and blurry reproductions of the paintings. Even more disgusted that I paid ... for a book that onlyhas under 10 paintings in color, considering that Wendt was a master at selecting color for his CA masterpieces. Save your money for any Impressionism series that includes Wendt's work. Special thanks to Amazon for obtaining this rare book for me.
