Two centuries ago, artists began painting the American West in watercolor. From firsthand portraits of Native Americans to dramatic landscapes, the visual story is told in The River Flows, Watercolors of the American West. It is an art exhibition and a history lesson together in a large (11 by 12.5 inches) 200 page coffee table book showcasing the work of 41 watercolorists. Each artist and his or her story is highlighted with their beautifully reproduced artwork and unique adventures. It is a collection of styles and points of view and a documentation of the evolution of the American West and the people that painted (and continue to paint) this fascinating lifestyle.
