Summary:

"This well written, fully researched, and handsomely illustrated volume gives potent new life to artists and ideas nearly lost to American art history. Susan Landauer's enlightening book will play an important role in redefining the post-World War II avant-garde as a national rather than an East Coast phenomenon."--Henry T. Hopkins, University of California, Los Angeles

"This book ranks as one of the more important recent contributions to the history of postwar American art."--Caroline Jones, Boston University
