How works by masters like Rembrandt, Rodin, Ansel Adams, Picasso, van Gogh, Monet, Hokusai, and O\u0026#39;Keeffe wound up where they did is a colorful tale of American art collecting and history. It\u0026#39;s the story of patrician families who acquired masterworks, self-made millionaires who used their business savvy to outbid rivals, and prescient collectors who championed new artists and neglected genres. A visit to each of the fifty museums in this book offers an art-viewing experience 360 degrees different from most museum visits--one that is personal, intimate, and blissfully uncrowded. The museums in A Love for the Beautiful deliver for today\u0026#39;s travelers, transforming routine business trips and forming the basis for memorable destination weekends and getaways.  \u0026quot;--","author_name":"Rosa Nouchette Carey","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/rosa-nouchette-carey","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/31850918/cb4cc523eb46df8592fa26feae81bf23be2c4f81.jpeg","thumbnail_width":333,"thumbnail_height":500}
