Description: "The Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton, Massachusetts, is widely acknowledged to have one of the most important college collections in America. This is not surprising, given that the college's founders conceived it as a school that would differ from the men's colleges of its day in giving the arts equal emphasis with other disciplines. The museum's area of greatest strength is the modern era, and this lavishly produced volume brings together one hundred of its master pieces, all illuminated by individual essays. Each work is reproduced in full color, and many also appear in dramatic, enlarged details."--Jacket.
