Along A Long Line
Mike Glier

Along A Long Line traces one man's artistic and ecological adventure to four distinct locations along the 70th Longitude. While the colorful abstract paintings in the tradition of Modernist landscape are at the forefront of the expedition, the book includes Glier's detailed blog entries and photography revealing the artist's impressions of each habitat while addressing the urgent issue of man's connection to and place in nature. The book features 240 color plates and photographs.
Mike Glier is a professor of art at Williams College.

Prendergast in Italy
Nancy Mowll Mathews (published 2009)
Additional Essays by Elizabeth Kennedy, Carol Clark, William McCall Vickery, Alessandro Del Puppo, Jan Andreas May, and
Olga P?aszczewska.
American artist Maurice Prendergast presented a view of Italy that was informed by European and American modernism as well as strong interest in the struggles of a newly unified and "modernized" nation. His Italy consisted of ancient monuments transformed by tourists; ancient painting techniques subverted by modernist abstraction. An extraordinary body of work based on two trips to Italy (1898 and 1911) that established Prendergast's place in the
canon of American art. Catalog consists of 265 full color illustrations.
