Portra it P ain ter s in K en tu cky

18 02- 192 0, by Estill Curtis
Pennington (University
PressofKentucky,$SO)
depicts an era before events
or individuals could be
captured with photographs.
Pennington's colorful
12x 9 book features images of
paintings, lithographs, and
etchings throughout, many
from The Filson Historical
Society, and consists of two
parts. The first examines the
careers of artists from the
area and provides historical
information surrounding
the cultural and artistic
environment of their period.
The second, a biographical
study, describes those artists
who crisscrossed the region
searching for subjects and a
livelihood.
Pennington, a long-
time scholar of Kentucky
portraiture, offers a valuable
resource of history.
