Description: Two Important Works on Impressionist Painters Lindquist, Emory, BIRGER SANDZEN: An Illustrated Biography (Birger Sandzen Memorial Foundation, 1993) - Combining biography -- based on excerpts from letters, interviews, and critical art reviews -- with a selection of Sandzen's art, this book by Emory Lindquist brings to life Birger Sandzen, who used bold brush strokes and brilliant colors to express the landscapes he admired and generosity, humor, and diligence to express himself. More than just an artist, Sandzen was a gifted teacher, linguist and translator, musician, and devoted husband and father. He kept in touch with art trends and fellow artists; traveled throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe; wrote short stories and articles on art; and read widely on social, economic, and international developments. Despite gaining a prosperous international reputation as an artist -- his works have appeared in more than 600 exhibitions in the United States and Europe -- the European-trained artist chose to live in Lindsborg, Kansas, rather than New York, the heart of the American art world. Sandzen found his artistic freedom along Kansas rivers, in Coloraqdo mountains, and in southwestern deserts. Ranson, Ron, The Art of John Yardley (David & Charles Uk , 1991) - Gathers the paintings of the watercolor impressionist and examines his motivation and techniques. John Yardley is a British painter best known for his naturalistic depictions of landscapes, interiors, and street scenes. Yardley’s watercolors capture the essential aspects of each scene with economic brushstrokes that focus on the accuracy of light and color rather than detail. The artist cites Edward Seago and Edward Wesson as major influences on his work. Born on March 11, 1933 in Beverley, United Kingdom, Yardley never received formal art training. In 1986, after working as a banker for most of his life, he devoted himself to a career in art. The artist is a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolor and frequently exhibits at the Royal Watercolor Society and the Jonathan Grant Gallery in Auckland, New Zealand. Yardley travels extensively year round but predominantly lives and works in the United Kingdom.
