Excerpt from Henry Dexter Sculptor: A Memorial
There are ample materials in my hands for illustrating the career of Henry Dexter from his childhood to his death; and as I propose to let him be his own biographer wherever possible, I will once for all enumerate the sources from which this memorial is composed. For the first thirty years of his life there is a full autobiography of two hundred and five closely written quarto pages; and for the remainder of his life there is a variety of miscellaneous information contained in his own letters and diaries, in the public notices of the painter and sculptor (for he was both), and in the recollections of his family and friends. As I was myself one of the latter, and at the ever-memorable period of impressionable youth when art and artists and poetry were all the world that had any interest for me, I shall have a twofold pleasure in writing of a man whom I admired and loved, and at the same time recovering the free and aspiring period of my intimacy with him.
But I have not completed the inventory of resources for this memorial, those which made the closest bond between us, but which unfortunately are for the most part in such an unfinished state that I shall be unable to use them directly.

Henry Dexter Sculptor: A Memorial (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life of Henry Dexter, a celebrated sculptor, through a combination of his own autobiography and an assortment of personal letters, journals, recollections, and other records. Born into poverty in 1806, Dexter's humble origins contrasted with his precocious artistic abilities, evident even as a young child. Denied the opportunity to pursue his passion, he instead apprenticed as a blacksmith. Never losing sight of his dream, he clandestinely honed his artistic skills until the opportunity arose to study under renowned painter Francis Alexander. Dexter's account reveals the harsh realities of rural life in early 19th-century New England, the social and economic barriers he overcame, and the inner turmoil of an artist whose talent struggled against limitations. His story offers insights into the complexities of artistic inspiration, the role of determination in shaping one's destiny, and the profound impact of art on the human spirit.
