This is the third and newest edition of the essential reference for dealers, collectors, curators, researchers, students- in short, anyone with a serious interest in California artists who needs an exhaustive and reliable source of biographical information. Almost 20,000 entries on artists in all media from the days of the explorers up to 1940 are arranged alphabetically in this two-volume encyclopedia. Over the course of his lifetime Hughes has pieced together information from a huge variety of sources, including interviews with the artists themselves or their families when possible, and many of the artists included here are ones whose lives have never before been recorded.
