New French Painting
Author: American Artists
Author: John CastagnoPublisher: Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecorw Press
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 856
Book Description
"The purpose of this book is the identification of artists' signatures: some 4,500 American artists and, in addition, some 600 Canadian and Latin American artists. Necessary biographical information, such as nationality, birth and death dates, is given along with bibliographical references and auction records in the form of key letters which help direct the reader to further sources of information. With each artist, there is presented at least one signature facsimile; in many cases, multiple signatures totalling nearly 10,000 examples taken from oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints covering as broad a range as possible in painting styles and periods from 1800 through 1989. For the easy identification of an artist who signs his or her work with a pseudonym, monogram, symbol or indecipherable signature, there are three separate sections in the back of the book."--Introduction.
Sisters of the Brush
Author: Tamar GarbPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300059038
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Although the women of the Union were often quite conservative politically, socially, and stylistically, says Garb, they believed that women had a special gift that would enhance France's cultural reputation and maintain the uplifting moral-cultural position that seemed in jeopardy at the turn of the century. Focusing on the developments that made the prominence of the organisation possible, Garb discusses the growth of the women's movement, educational reforms, institutional changes in the art world, and critical debates and contemporary scientific thought.
French Images from the Greek War of Independence (1821-1830)
Author: Nina Athanassoglou-KallmyerPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300045321
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
The Greek struggle against Ottoman rule was a crucial event in the history and politics of nineteenth-century Europe. In particular it had a strong impact on the political and cultural life of France during the Bourbon Restoration, where it was appropriated and promoted as the symbolic spearhead of liberal ideas and of the growing Romantic rebellion. This book by Nina Athanassoglou-Kallmyer examines the French paintings, prints, and sculptures inspired by the Greek War of Independence. Athanassoglou-Kallmyer reinterprets important works by the foremost exponents of the Romantic movement - including Delacroix, Gericault, Horace Vernet, Ary Scheffer, and David d’Angers - showing how they viewed the Greek struggle as a setting for the opposing forces of conservatism and liberalism. She explains that, far from being mere pictorial records of specific war episodes such as the massacre at Chios or the fall of Missolonghi, images of the clashes between Greeks and Turks reflected the mottos and arguments of the French liberal propaganda echoed as well by contemporary newspapers, parliamentary debates, broadsides, pamphlets, popular plays, and poems.

American Lithographers, 1900-1960
Author: Clinton AdamsPublisher: Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Chronicling the developments and significance of lithography in the United States, Adams offers not only a detailed survey of the medium between 1900 and 1960, but also a personal recollection of the many figures who shaped its course. He presents the story of the artists and their printers, their personal interrelationships, and their creative work in what he calls a "beautiful but obstinate medium." While the names of printers Albert Sterner, Bolton Brown, George Miller, and Joseph Pennell are pivotal in this story, most of the leading artists of the century have been attracted to lithography, among them George Bellows, Thomas Hart Benton, Stuart Davis, Reginald Marsh, Jackson Pollock, and Charles Sheeler.
