Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Amon G. Carter (1879-1955) is one of the legendary men of Texas history. Born in a log cabin, he was self-made, becoming Fort Worth's leading citizen and champion. He developed an interest in the art of Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell through his friendship with Will Rogers. Carter's will provided for the establishment of a museum in Fort Worth devoted to the art of the American West. While the museum holds the most significant collection anywhere of works by Remington and Russell and is a pioneer in the field of western studies, it has evolved into one of the great museums of American art as a whole, focusing on artists working on successive frontiers, aesthetic as well as geographic. Its photography collection alone has grown to nearly one-quarter of a million objects." "The museum, designed by noted architect Philip Johnson, opened to the public in 1961. On the occasion of its fortieth anniversary, a substantially expanded building, also designed by Mr. Johnson, was inaugurated. This volume relates the museum's history and presents color and duotone illustrations of 125 of its masterworks dating from 1822 to 1998 (paintings, sculpture, prints, watercolors, pastels, drawings, and photographs), with an essay about each and a biography of each artist. It includes a number of landmark works recently added to the collection and unveiled here for the first time: paintings by John Singer Sargent, Stuart Davis, and Marsden Hartley; sculpture by Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson; a daguerreotype by Southworth and Hawes; and photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, David Smith, Robert Adams, and Linda Connor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Expert Versus the Object written by Ronald D. Spencer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authenticity of art has always commanded the attention of experts, dealers, collectors, and the art-minded public-especially those who relish the Robin Hoods of art forgery who deceive rich collectors and pompous experts. This book of essays, edited by a lawyer specializing in art law and authenticity, proposes to make the question of authenticity more easily understood. The main points to be argued are (1) that the perception of form in a work of art is not unlike other types of evidence accepted in courts of law; (2) that in determining authenticity, experts must adopt a careful, organized approach; and (3) that all authentication should be based on the consensus of experts at arm's length from an object.

Book excerpt: American Beauty: Painting and Sculpture from the Detroit Institute of Arts 1770-1920 highlights works from one of the United States' most respected museum collections of American art. In his engaging essay, Graham W. J. Beale places the ninety-six works in historical context, relating them to contemporary social and artistic trends both at home and abroad. Beginning with the first truly home-grown talent John Singleton Copley in the eighteenth century to the social realism of John Sloan in the early twentieth, the volume presents an encyclopaedic view of American painting. Among the artists represented are: Thomas Cole, considered the father of American landscapes; Winslow Homer, chronicler of American life during and after the civil war; Thomas Eakins and John Singer Sargent; American impressionists Mary Cassatt and Childe Hassam; and the tonalists George Inness and Thomas Wilmer Dewing.
