American Artists is a significant collection of essays and critiques by the esteemed art critic Royal Cortissoz, offering a comprehensive look at the evolution of American fine arts during a transformative era. The work provides deep insights into the lives and techniques of prominent figures who shaped the nation's aesthetic identity. Through detailed analysis, Cortissoz explores various movements and individual styles, from the meticulous detail of portraiture to the expansive beauty of landscape painting.

The text serves as a vital historical record of American artistic achievement, reflecting the tastes and critical standards of the early twentieth century. Cortissoz examines the contributions of masters such as Winslow Homer, Abbott Thayer, and George Inness, among others, articulating the unique qualities that defined an American school of art. This collection is not merely a survey but a passionate defense of traditional craftsmanship and beauty in an age of emerging modernism. Readers interested in art history, criticism, and the cultural development of the United States will find American Artists to be an indispensable resource that captures the spirit of an era when American art was coming into its own.
