| Summary | "American Masters of Painting" by Charles H. Caffin is a collection of brief appreciation essays on notable American painters, written in the early 20th century. The work introduces readers to key figures in American art, like George Inness, John La Farge, and James A. McNeill Whistler, alongside illustrations of their significant works. Caffin's aim is to highlight the contributions and innovations of these artists within the context of American culture. The opening of the book begins by establishing George Inness as a pivotal figure in American art, credited as a pathfinder who shaped the naturalistic movement in landscape painting. Caffin discusses Inness's evolution as an artist, emphasizing his independent studies of nature and his progression influenced by the Barbizon painters. The narrative outlines Inness's techniques, the mood he sought to convey through his landscapes, and his spiritual approach to art, all of which contribute to his unique style and significance in the field. Through this introduction, readers gain insight into both the artistic and personal qualities that define Inness's work and set the stage for further explorations of other artists in the collection.
