Dennis Miller Bunker: American Impressionist

A close friend of William Dean Howells, John Singer Sargent, and the legendary collector Isabella Stewart Gardner, who became his champion, Dennis Miller Bunker (1861-1890) was one of the most talented painters of late 19th-century America. His sudden death at age 29 interrupted one of Boston's most promising talents. This handsomely illustrated volume is the definitive study of Bunker's life and work, and the only book currently available on this fascinating, tragic artist.
