Wheelock Jr., Arthur K. (editor). AELBERT CUYP. Text by numerous authors; 320 pp., 130 color and 95 b&w illustrations. Oblong 4to, cloth. Washington, National Gallery of Art in association with London and New York, Thames and Hudson, 2001.
This exhibition catalogue brings together 45 of Cuyp's best known paintings and 64 drawings from American and European museums and private collections. His genius in portraying nuances of light and clarity of form are evident in his renowned pastoral landscapes and harbor views. The show also includes his portraits, biblical scenes, and hundreds of supporting images in color and black and white. An international team of curators and scholars discuss the works themselves and their cultural and political context. Apart from a monograph written in 1975, this is the only publication in English on this important 17th-century master.
