Browning. *** "In this book are the essential beliefs and theories of a great teacher and American artist, Robert Henri. While it embodies the entire system of his teaching, with much technical advice and critical comment for the student, it also contains inspiration for those to whom the happiness to be found through all the arts is important.No other American painter attracted such a large, intensely personal group of followers as Henri, whose death in 1929 brought to an end a life that has been completely devoted to art. He was an inspired artist and teacher who believed that everyone is vitally concerned in the happiness and wisdom to be found through the arts. Many of his paintings have been acquired by museums and private collectors. Among them are the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Wichita Art Museum, and Yale University Art Gallery. / Robert Henri was born in Cincinnati in 1865 and died in 1929.

Widely acclaimed for its perception and scholarship, the book concentrates on a number of leading artists, including Washington Allston, Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Fitz Hugh Lane, William Sidney Mount, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Albert Pinkham Ryder. Examining each artist in an individual essay, Barbara Novak presents key ideas on the nature of American art of the nineteenth century, framing these ideas with reference to the eighteenth and twentieth centuries and relating American art to American and European traditions. She draws provocative and original conclusions about the roles in American art of spiritualism and mathematics, analyzes not only the painting but nineteenth-century aesthetic theory as well, achieving a unique synthesis of art and literature. Brief biographies of forty-eight artists mentioned in the text are appended and furnish a valuable reference source." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Prolegomena to the Nineteenth Century: Copley and the American Tradition; Washington Allston: An American Romantic Tradition; Thomas Cole: The Dilemma of the Real and the Ideal; Asher B.

Paperback. Condición: Good. xii, 274 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. Good+. Tight, clean copy. Corner crease/front cover. A good reading copy for the thrifty scholar. *** "The fact that so much of modern art has devoted itself to the exploration and assertion of its own identity is reflected in, but does not explain, the increasing amount of writing and talking on the part of contemporary artists. Rather, the whole history of the changing role of art and artists in a democratic, industrial, and technological society stands behind the spate of artists' words and the public's hunger for them - even some of the general public out there beyond art's little circle. Statements by artists appeal somewhat the way drawings do: they bring us, or at least they hold the promise of bringing us, closer to the artists thoughts and feelings and to an understanding of his or her modus operandi; they hold the keys to a mysterious realm. And sometimes they offer us the sheer pleasure of good reading. Such is the primary raison d' tre of this book. Its other motivation is educational, and stems from the frustrating lack, in teaching contemporary art, of any single compilation of statements by American artists from 1940 to the present. This anthology differs in several respects from those others that do include documents of American art since 1940. The selection I have made is devoted exclusively to statements of artists; it is limited to the last four decades; it presents in a single volume a representative and fairly comprehensive coverage of major developments in American art beginning with Abstract Expressionism; and, whenever possible, it cites the first, or among the very earliest, documents signalizing a shift in the definition, intent, or direction of art." - Publisher.

Weight: 22.5 ounces. This title was first published in the UK in 1949 and a new edition was published in hardcover in 1976. Paperback. An expanded edition of the eminent art historian's 1949 work relates four modes of depicting landscapes to nineteenth-century painting and considers the future of landscape painting. Among many honours, Kenneth Clark was knighted at the unusually young age of thirty-five, and three decades later was made a life peer shortly before the first transmission of his acclaimed BBC Television series 'Civilisation'. Three decades after his death, Clark was celebrated in an exhibition at Tate Britain in London, prompting a reappraisal of his career by a new generation of critics and historians, during which his skill as a writer and his enthusiasm for popularising the arts were widely recognised. Both the BBC and the Tate described him in retrospect as one of the most influential figures in British art of the twentieth century. This is an engaging read. It describes the history of western landscape painting, from medieval manuscripts up through the neoimpressionists, Van Gogh and Cezanne. It considers both "realism" and fantasy landscapes, and demonstrates how the depiction of light was always an essential aspect of the portrayal of landscapes, long certainly before the Impressionists. It explains why Constable is the great progenitor, and what was new, and what was not, in the impressionists. He's a gracious and knowledgable writer. A classic of the genre. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 248 pages First Edition Thus [1979], Third Printing (1986); First Printing.…
