Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John La Farge, A Biographical and Critical Study is the first biography in a century of the American painter, illustrator, muralist, stained-glass artist, and writer. Examining La Farge's career from his youth to his late rebound as a decorative artist-from New York City and New England to Europe to Japan to the South Seas-this is also the only biography to date composed independently of the artist and his estate. Drawing on primary documentation culled from archives and contemporary newspapers and journals, the biography thoroughly documents La Farge's career and artwork. Earlier biographies avoided the darker aspects of his complex and conflicted life, which had dramatic effects on his work. The study also offers critical analysis of the artist's works, showing influences from other artists and giving contemporary and modern responses. La Farge authority James L. Yarnall scrutinizes how posterity has viewed the artist throughout the century since his death. The book is copiously illustrated with black-and-white and color images.

Book excerpt: "John La Farge and the Recovery of the Sacred" accompanies an exhibition of the same name that will open at the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College in September 2015. This exhibition examines for the first time from an interdisciplinary perspective La Farge s lifelong efforts to visualize the sacred. Most outstandingly shown in his stained glass and ecclesiastical paintings, the exhibition demonstrates how this quest is manifest equally in the artist s representations of nature and still life and in his stunningly imaginative book illustrations. The exhibition will also explore how his trip to Japan and the South Seas in 1886 reinforced the multicultural range of La Farge s spiritual inquiry. Negotiating the boundaries between realism and symbolism, La Farge is always innovative and intriguing. Scholars and curators Jeffery Howe, David Cave, Cecelia Levin, James O Toole, David Quigley, Virginia Raguin, and Roberto Rosause the stained glass and paintings in the exhibition to inform their original research on this seminal American artist.

Download or read book The Art and Thought of John La Farge written by Katie Kresser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art and Thought of John La Farge: Picturing Authenticity in Gilded Age America offers an unprecedented portrait of one of the most celebrated artists of the Gilded Age and opens a window onto nineteenth-century American culture. The book reveals how the work of John La Farge contributed to a rich philosophical dialogue concerning the trustworthiness of human perception. In his struggle against a 'common truth' of iconic symbols presented by a new mass visual culture, La Farge developed a subversive approach to visual representation that focused attention not on the artwork itself, but on the complex, real encounter of artist, subject and medium from which the artwork came. Katie Kresser charts La Farge's efforts to assert his own reality - his own intrinsic uniqueness - in a postwar society that increasingly based personal identity on standardized vocational labels and economic productivity. La Farge's work is contrasted with that of Kenyon Cox, James Whistler and Henry Adams, all of whom (for La Farge) had fallen prey to the crass new visual environment - albeit in very different ways. This innovative study suggests that La Farge dealt with issues still relevant in a world characterized by ubiquitous mass media and the proliferation of 'normative' visions.

Download or read book John La Farge's Second Paradise written by Elisabeth Hodermarsky and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume goes well beyond the scope of the typical exhibition catalogue and becomes, in the end, the first great study of La Farge's late South Seas works, and one of the first comprehensive overviews of the activities of Western artists in the South Seas in the late 19th century. The catalogue's (and exhibition's) title refers to La Farge's first great artistic inspiration (1850s-60s) being the area around Paradise Beach in Newport, RI, and his second inspiration (1890s) being a trip to the South Seas. A number of important scholars have contributed essays to this volume. Among them are the longtime La Farge scholar Henry Adams, who contributes an essay titled "John La Farge's South Seas Sketchbooks: Their Nature and Their Significance" (along with an inventory of the South Seas sketchbooks); and Elizabeth Childs, who contributes an essay comparing the activities of Paul Gauguin and John La Farge during their respective sojourns in Tahiti (it turns out that Gauguin arrived in Tahiti only a week or so after La Farge left it for Fiji). This is an attractively produced volume in square quarto format, with 160 color illustrations and many more in black and white. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers.

Book excerpt: Graphic Masters celebrates the extraordinary variety and accomplishment of American artists' works on paper. Exceptional watercolors, pastels, and drawings from the 1860s through the 1990s reveal the central importance of works on paper for American artists, both as studies for creations in other media and as finished works of art. Traditionally a more intimate form of expression than painting or sculpture, drawings often reveal greater spontaneity and experimentation. Even as works on paper become larger and more finished, competing in scale with easel paintings, they retain a sense of the artist's hand, the immediacy of a thought made visible. Ranging from Thomas Moran's Yellowstone and Childe Hassam's Appledore to Edward Hopper's river landscape and Charles Burchfield's intense abstractions, the watercolors express a breadth of experience from observation to hallucinatory imagination. Thomas Wilmer Dewing's meticulous portrait of Walt Whitman records not only physical appearance but gives insight into the sitter's personality as well. Vivid images in glowing color by Stuart Davis and William H. Johnson, as well as confident, black-and-white images by William de Kooning and Mel Bochner show the diversity of approaches our most accomplished aritsts have taken in their works on paper. -- from front flap.
