We highlight their power in the April issue of American Art Collector with our 14th annual Collector's Focus: Seascapes, Rivers & Lakes. This popular special section features depictions of the many forms water can take, from the vastness of the ocean to a babbling brook, as well as marshes, rivers, beaches and lakes. In this issue, we will present works that depict this broad range of subject matter and introduce your interpretations to our readers across all regions of the United States. Whether you are an independent artist or gallery, don’t miss this opportunity to reach collectors from coast to coast with your seascape, river and lake-themed works.

Collector's Focus: Culinary Arts

From lavish feasts to peasant fare, painting culinary tableaus is a tradition that stretches back to antiquity. The subject matter became popularized in 16th century Europe, a genre defined by iconic works like Caravaggio’s Basket of Fruit, van Gogh’s The Potato Eaters, Chardin’s The Prayer Before Meal, and more recently Francis Bacon’s Figure with Meat and Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup cans. Today, contemporary artists carry the torch, painting everything from traditional still life spreads of nature’s bounty to hyper-realistic portrayals of donuts, cocktails and burgers with fries. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase your edible delights in this special section that will satisfy the appetites of collectors worldwide. Artwork by Peter Anton.
