In the history of American art, skies are ubiquitous in both 19th century landscape painting and 20th century abstraction. However, their importance has never before been considered.

From the first American landscape revealed by Thomas Cole to the irony of the sublime as manifested in the works of Ed Ruscha and Jack Goldstein, this book by Alain Cueff considers skies from theoretical, theological, and symbolic perspectives, through the works of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American artists, including Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pollock, Barnett Newman, Winslow Homer, Albert Ryder, Georges Bellows, Marsden Hartley, Thomas Benton, and Walter De Maria.
