Certainly worth the $2 from the Friends of the Library sale rack. I didn't realize Hassam had painted flags so many times. Nice reproductions, and a good description and analysis of each one.
Beautiful book
On Preparedness Day, May 13, 1916, Childe Hassam, famed American Impressionist, was inspired to paint 5th Avenue, New York City, hung with flags. ... this precipitated his amazing “flag” series, ending with the Avenue’s Victory Parades of Spring 1919 ... consisting of around 30 canvases, 25 of them are covered by this book, catalogue to an exhibition held in 1988/9 at Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; Fort Worth; and New York ... magnificent!!!
