Book excerpt: A wide-ranging study of Louisiana landscape painting that places art from the region into a broader national and global context With its dense forests and swamps, Louisiana captured the imagination of writers and painters who viewed its landscape as a fascinating, untamed wilderness. Starting in the 1820s when French émigrés brought the Barbizon school to New Orleans, the state attracted artists from Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the greater United States who shared ideas and experimented with approaches to the enigmatic scenery. Although Louisiana was in many ways an artists' paradise, the land also bore the scars of colonialism and the forced migrations of slavery. Inventing Acadia explores this complex history, following the rise of Louisiana landscape art and situating it amid the cultural shifts of the 19th century. The authors engage not only with artworks but also with the issues that informed them--representations of race and industry, international trade, and climate change. These issues are then carried into the present with a look at the work of contemporary artist Regina Agu. Inventing Acadia establishes Louisiana's role in creating a new vision for American art and highlights the continued relevance of landscape and representation.

Book Synopsis The Forgotten Bridge of Acadia by : Therese Marshall
Download or read book The Forgotten Bridge of Acadia written by Therese Marshall and published by Penobscot Books. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charity Kane lives in a blue and white cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine. On this special summer day, she and her dog Mariah will explore their island home-the shore, Main Street, the village green, the harbor-all by themselves, hoping for adventure. What they find is a huge, beautiful pink-granite bridge with three arches, sadly overgrown and hidden from view. Charity, her father and the townspeople discover the history of the bridge and clear away the brush to reveal, once again, the "Forgotten Bridge of Acadia." From author/illustrator Therese Klotz Marshall: When I was a child growing up on Eagle Lake Road in Bar Harbor, Maine, in the 1950s, my family would drive into Acadia National Park up to the top of Cadillac Mountain to look at the view of Frenchmans Bay and the Porcupine Islands. Driving on Route 3 into Bar Harbor, my parents would say, "Look to the right. It's coming up. Don't look away or you will miss it. There it is!" We would chime, "I saw it!" We were talking about "Dad's bridge," formally known as the Duck Brook Motor Bridge on Paradise Hill Road. My father designed and was construction supervisor for the real "Forgotten Bridge of Acadia," completed in 1952.

Download or read book Philip Frey written by Daniel Kany and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Kany, art critic for the Portland Press Herald, writes that "Frey's art occupies the nexus between contemporary painting and brushy traditionalism. If there is a focus to this new direction in Maine painting, his art is it." Author of a number of books on Maine art and artists, Carl Little explores art-historical influences on Frey from the Fauvists and Matisse to Rockwell Kent and Howard Hodgkin, and traces the history of landscape painting in Maine, revealing how Frey's bold colors and dynamic brushwork set him apart. "His palette is strong and fresh, his approach painterly in a manner akin to Fairfield Porter and other devoted plein air painters," writes Little. Beautiful reproductions of Frey's portraits of Maine provide eloquent testimony of Frey's vibrant originality.
Book Synopsis Under October Skies by : Michael Hudson

Book excerpt: Acadia National Park is blessed with some of the most beautiful scenery in the country- mountains, lakes, ponds, woods, meadows, trails and miles and miles of ocean coastline. It's peaceful and serene, but it can also be deafening and violent, surrounded by the roar of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. But it's always sublime. No other national park can compete with the variety of the landscape in Acadia.Autumn is the most beautiful time to visit. Peaking in October, the park truly glows in the Fall colors. Whole swathes of trees turn from green to yellow, red, orange or pink, as if Nature is giving us one last burst of fireworks in a grand finale, before slipping into the cold, colorless depths of winter.But it isn't just the foliage that makes Acadia so unique in Autumn. There's a special quality to the light that gives everything a renewed energy and vibrancy, from the mountains down to the coast. Even the rocks seem alive in the dawn glow of a new day.Landscape photographer Michael Hudson has been coming to Acadia every October to photograph the light and colors for several years. This, his first hardcover photography book, is a celebration of all the beauty that is Autumn in Acadia.
