Alice Dalton Brown's enormously popular paintings portray dazzling combinations of light and domestic architecture. Her art beautifully captures moments to be treasured: Twilight on a Victorian porch, light sparkling on water seen through a window- rustling curtains at an open window, the foliage in a tropical garden. Here are timeless distillations of a near perfect world, environments to dream in, sanctuaries for the spirit. This stunning volume presents Dalton Brown's finest work, accompanied by a monographic text that recounts the story of her life and career and analyses the extraordinary qualities of her paintings that appeal to, both the broad audience and art world sophisticates. - Publisher.
