Beginningwith the earliest pictures pic-tures of America which depicted the relationship of the European explorers and the native Indians, Dr. Bassett traced the artistic development of painters who depicted the various decades of American colonization and development westward. The Bay Psalm Book was the first book with illustrations printed in America and although the paintings are primitive they portray the life of that time. Later, many of the colonial paintings paint-ings often combines old poses with current people. Many were inspirational copied from the Greek and Roman masters. Portraits were popular as they were in England, where many of the artists trained. About 1770, many of the artists began to pick up on science and incorporated accurate representations repre-sentations of animals and nature in their work. Several significant scientists were also painters of note. During the 1800's, the westward movement became popular as the subject of painters with heroic poses. Book illustrations illustra-tions became popular and landscapes and nature were reproduced, but not necessarily realistically. This was a period of almost photographic paintings with an emphasis on light. People like Audobon and Moran who stressed the preservation of America's natural beauty were popular.
