This encyclopedia is a biographical dictionary of some 1,000 women artists of the American West. The product of a twenty-year, coast-to-coast research project by authors Phil Kovinick and Marian Yoshiki-Kovinick, it offers accurate, concise introductions to women painters, graphic artists, and sculptors, all of whom achieved recognition as depictors of Western subjects between the 1840sand 1980. Their styles range from representationalism to early modernism, while their works depict everything from bold landscapes and scenes of intensive action to studies of Native Americans, pioneers, ranchers, farmers, wildlife, and flora.The Kovinicks of the Los Angeles art world present 20 years of research on western artists from the 1840s-1980: not well-known macho artists like Russell and Remington, but about 1,000 women from Mary Todd Aaron (1879-1967), a foremost Oklahoma artist portraying the Osage Indians, to Marguerite Zora
