'Illumination' celebrates the careers of four extraordinary American women artists. It focuses on their parallel but distinct evocations of landscape and memory, and provides an opportunity to appreciate the ways in which each created visions inspired by nature and a desire to capture the transcendent beauty and spirituality of life. Brief parallel chronologies with portrait photographs of the artists are given at the end of the book.
