 | Don Troiani's Civil War by Brian C. Pohanka, Don Troiani, William C. Davis
In the world of historical painting, Don Troiani stands alone, universally acclaimed for the accuracy, drama, and sensitivity of his depictions of America`s past. His Civil War paintings and limited edition prints hang in the finest collections in the country and are noted internationally as well. Don Troiani`s Civil War -- the first collection of his Civil War art to appear in book form -- is a chronological depiction of every face of the war. His most famous and popular works -- most of which are in private collections and unavailable for viewing -- are all represented here; many rarer pieces, which are not even available in print form, are also included. Don Troiani attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and New York City`s Art Students League. His first Civil War print was released in 1980, and in 1984 he established Historical Art Prints to distribute his work. His artwork is in numerous major collections, including American Heritage magazine, the National Park Service, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Pentagon, and the Smithsonian Institute. His second book, Don Troiani`s Soldiers in America, 1754-1865, was published by Stackpole in 1998. AUTHOR: Brian C. Pohanka, Don Troiani, William C. Davis
