Gods in Granite: The Art of the White Mountains of New Hampshire (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780815606635)

Robert L. McGrath leads a tour of New Hampshire's White Mountains through art and illustration spanning three centuries. He surveys--often at an exhilarating pace--the topographic and metaphoric landscape of New Hampshire's White Mountains through the artistic and tourist life of the region as it appears in paintings and illustrations. Extending from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth century, he includes by far the most extensive collection of pictorial works relating to the White Mountains to date.

Although the scenic beauty of the White Mountains attracted many of America's most significant artists during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as Thomas Cole, Frank Stella, Winslow Homer, Fernand Leger, John Marin, and Marsden Hartley, no comprehensive account of this region's rich contribution to the history of American art has ever been published.
