Book Description
Excerpt from De Luxe Illustrated Catalogue of the Very Valuable Modern Paintings, Sculpture and Other Art Property Collected by the Late Theron R. Butler, Esq., New York A characteristic example of this Dutch master of genre subjects. Seated in a rush-bottomed chair beside an empty wine-cask, on which are a bottle of spirits, a glass and a pipe, a blue-smocked countryman is teaching his dog to beg. With his hands supported on his knees he leans forward, his face wreathed in smiles, as the dog stands erect on his hind legs obedient to the word of command, and evidently as much pleased at his accomplishments as is his master. This example was painted to order for the late owner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Pursuit of Beauty
Author: Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 0870994689
Category : Aesthetic movement (Art)
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
"This project is the first comprehensive study of a phenomenon that not only dominated the American arts of the 1870s and 1880s, but also helped set the course of such later developments in the United States as the Arts and Crafts movement, the indigenous interpretation of Art Nouveau, and even the rise of modernism. In fact, the early history of the Metropolitan--its founding, its sponsorship of a school of industrial design, and its display of decorative works--is inextricably tied to the Aesthetic movement and its educational goals. "In Pursuit of Beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement" comprised some 175 objects including furniture, metalwork, stained glass, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, painting, and sculpture. Some of these had rarely been displayed; others, although familiar, were being shown in new and even startling contexts. The exhibition and catalogue are arranged thematically to illustrate both the major styles of a visually rich movement and the ideas that generated its diversity"--From publisher's description.
