Book Synopsis Nature and Culture : American Landscape and Painting, 1825-1875, With a New Preface by : Barbara Novak Altschul Professor of Art History Barnard College and Columbia University (Emerita)
Download or read book Nature and Culture : American Landscape and Painting, 1825-1875, With a New Preface written by Barbara Novak Altschul Professor of Art History Barnard College and Columbia University (Emerita) and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007-01-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this richly illustrated volume, featuring more than fifty black-and-white illustrations and a beautiful eight-page color insert, Barbara Novak describes how for fifty extraordinary years, American society drew from the idea of Nature its most cherished ideals. Between 1825 and 1875, all kinds of Americans--artists, writers, scientists, as well as everyday citizens--believed that God in Nature could resolve human contradictions, and that nature itself confirmed the American destiny. Using diaries and letters of the artists as well as quotes from literary texts, journals, and periodicals, Novak illuminates the range of ideas projected onto the American landscape by painters such as Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Edwin Church, Asher B. Durand, Fitz H. Lane, and Martin J. Heade, and writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Frederich Wilhelm von Schelling. Now with a new preface, this spectacular volume captures a vast cultural panorama. It beautifully demonstrates how the idea of nature served, not only as a vehicle for artistic creation, but as its ideal form. "An impressive achievement." --Barbara Rose, The New York Times Book Review "An admirable blend of ambition, elan, and hard research. Not just an art book, it bears on some of the deepest fantasies of American culture as a whole." --Robert Hughes, Time Magazine

Book Synopsis The Artist and the American Landscape by : John Paul Driscoll
Download or read book The Artist and the American Landscape written by John Paul Driscoll and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expansive and diverse American landscape has inspired artists for hundreds of years. Since the arrival of the first Europeans, who interpreted what is now America as a new Eden, artists have felt and expressed a special affinity for the landscape. The Artist and the American Landscape surveys 200 years of American landscape painting region by region. We begin in 1798 with Ralph Earl's Landscape View of Old Bennington and continue through the divergent works of the Hudson River School, William M. Chase and the Impressionists, John Marin and the Modernists, the Regionalists John Steuart Curry and Grant Wood, and post-war masters such as Fairfield Porter. Finally, this volume includes an extensive overview of major contemporary artists who draw their inspiration from the landscape. The Artist and the American Landscape is the most comprehensive, fully-illustrated survey of its kind, and a riveting look at the artist's compelling response to the drama of the land we live in.

Book Synopsis Shifting Ground by : Rhonda Lane Howard
Download or read book Shifting Ground written by Rhonda Lane Howard and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting Ground examines the evolving relationship that Americans have with the land as reflected through selected works from the last 150 years of American landscape art. Dramatic physical alterations, uses, and experiences of the American landscape are made visible through the work of artists from Winslow Homer to Jessica Bronson. Throughout the history of the United States, artists have reacted to technological advances and physical changes in the land and their art has reflected shifts in collective American perception. The advent of train travel, industrialization, rapid urban growth, and the popularization of the automobile, the computer and development of mass communications have all had effects on the collective view of the land we inhabit.

Book Synopsis Ray Stanford Strong, West Coast Landscape Artist by : Mark Humpal
Download or read book Ray Stanford Strong, West Coast Landscape Artist written by Mark Humpal and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his long and prolific career, Ray Stanford Strong (1905–2006) strove to capture the essence of the western American landscape. An accomplished painter who achieved national fame during the New Deal era, Strong is best known for his depiction of landscapes in California and Oregon, rendered in his signature plein air style. This beautiful volume, featuring more than 100 color and black-and-white illustrations, is the first comprehensive exploration of Strong’s life and artistry. Through family papers, archives, photographs, and a two-year series of interviews conducted with the artist personally, Mark Humpal traces Strong’s journey from his childhood on an Oregon berry farm to his artistically formative years in New York and San Francisco. After moving back to the West Coast, Strong produced important works for the WPA, executed major diorama projects for two world expositions, helped organize the Santa Barbara Art Institute, and served as teacher and mentor for a new generation of plein air artists. But, as Humpal emphasizes, Strong distinguished himself by resisting the drumbeat of the avant-garde. During an era when many artists were experimenting with abstract expressionism, Strong never relinquished his personal vision and adherence to a more traditional style. With his outgoing personality, he forged friendships and associations with such prominent artists as Frank Vincent DuMond, Maynard Dixon, Ansel Adams, Frank Lloyd Wright, and John Steinbeck. Ultimately, Strong had little concern for his place in the sweep of art history. The proficiency he achieved through years of formal and informal study allowed him to craft a personal style difficult to categorize but unique and engaging. By expanding our understanding and appreciation of Strong’s artistic contributions, this book offers a fitting tribute to one of America’s finest landscape artists.
