Excerpt from History of the Rise and Progress of the Arts of Design in the United States, Vol. 1 of 2
The History of the Arts of Design in the United States, by William Dunlap, was published in 1834 and has ever since served as a primary source of information for the student of early American art. "As the work of Vertue, the historian of the arts in England," says Dunlap, "has been made perfect by Walpole and Dallaway, so we may hope that in process of time, this work will have additions made to it by those who may discover more than has been yielded to our researches." Dunlap's opportunity for gathering facts regarding the artists who had preceded him was limited, and his own judgment in many instances was biased by the professional opinions and personal envy of others. He did, however, have as contemporaries many men who stood high in their profession: West, Copley, Stuart, Trumbull, Peale, Fulton, Sully, Morse, Harding, and Allston. These not only gave particulars of their own careers but in some instances contributed much that was valuable about those of others. Necessarily, he relied upon sources of this character.
The peculiar nature of Dunlap's work - its faulty composition, irregular orthography, duplications, irrelevancies and prolixity - have made the editors' office a difficult one. Two courses seemed open: the first, to reprint the work verbatim et literatim as a historical document; the second, to give the text essentially as originally printed, but with judicious pruning and corrections of conspicuous errors. We have chosen the latter course as more consistent with our plan of making the book useful for reference to the present-day student. To further this plan we have compiled addenda comprising brief accounts of several hundred painters, engravers, sculptors, and architects.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the early development of the arts of design in the United States, starting with the arrival of the first artists from Europe to the colonies. The author uses biographical sketches of artists and their work to chart the evolution of these artistic traditions in America, focusing on painting, sculpture, architecture, and engraving. The text explores the challenges faced by artists in the colonies, where patronage was largely dependent on wealthy individuals and the prevailing societal view of art as a decorative craft rather than a high art form. The author also addresses the unique circumstances surrounding the development of art in a nascent nation, free from the constraints of European aristocracy and its patronage system. The book is a fascinating exploration of the roots of American art and its relationship to the broader artistic and cultural movements of its time, offering a glimpse into the early artistic landscape of the United States and the individuals who helped shape its artistic identity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330434864_0
