Description
An American painter usually associated with the Precisionist movement, George Copeland Ault (1891-1948) created works that provide a unique window on to the uncertainty and despair of the Second World War. This book features nearly twenty of Ault's paintings alongside those of his contemporaries, including Edward Hopper, and Andrew Wyeth.
