Author: The Society for the Advancement of Plein-Air Painting (SAPAP)
Enchanted Isle—A History of Plein Air Painting in Santa Catalina Island is liberally illustrated with paintings by Signature Members of The Plein-Air Painters of America and their numerous Guest Artists. The 256-page volume with 255 color illustrations and many full-page plates trace over 100 years of painting the outdoor beauty of Santa Catalina Island. The works of over 90 early and contemporary plein air painters depict delightful street scenes, distinctive architecture, charming harbors and plenty of wild, rugged coastline. Color and light reign supreme. Major essays by noted authors enhance the illustrations along with a bibliography and index.
