The Art of George Ames Aldrich

"George Ames Aldridge is one of those fine painters who is celebrated for his efforts regionally but not at the national level. He deserves to be seen in the greater pantheon of American art. This will be the first, long overdue, publication on the artist."

~Dean A. Porter, Director Emeritus The Snite Museum of Art University of Notre Dame

"This book about the work of George Ames Aldrich generates new information and interest about a well-trained artist who settled in the Chicago area in mid-career. Originally from Worcester, Massachusetts, he took his formative art training in Europe. Beginning in the 1920s, Aldrich was active in the Chicago art scene, exhibiting regularly at the Art Institute of Chicago. He also became involved with the South Bend, Indiana, artists. His work is undeniably skilled and lovely."

~Rachel Perry, author of T. C. Steele and the Society of Western Artists: 1896-1914 (IUP, 2009)

"This is another beautiful book that would be a fabulous addition to the library of any art-lover or history buff."

~Little Indiana

"This book not only reproduces [Aldrich's] delicate, pleasing work but also tries to uncover the truth about his life."
