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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art and Thought of John La Farge 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John La Farge, Artist and Writer Irving's days - seem steeped in a mellow light of culture and sunlit provincial peace which cannot be entirely due to our fancy. All writers of that time speak of the social life as something finished, refined; of trees everywhere in the quiet streets, of frequent excursions along country roads to Bloomingdale, Harlem, and other peaceful country villages. I dwell on this matter because both the old-fashioned culture of their childhood and the sharp contrasts of manhood must have been factors in the development of the Americans of Mr. La F arge's generation.

C., July 10 - Oct. 12, 1987 ; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Nov. 7, 1987 - Jan. 3, 1988 ...] written by John La Farge and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Farge, now nearly forgotten, was at one time considered among the most progressive 19th century American artists. His oil landscapes and watercolors and direct studies from nature decisively influenced Winslow Homer. His innovations in opalescent glass revitalized the art of stained glass with undreamt-of pictorial effects. An interior design for Trinity Church in Boston, with its floating Byzantine spaces, created a sensation. Muralist, book illustrator, art critic, travel writer, decorator, La Farge combined all these roles. Yet most of his paintings look academic and stilted by modern standards, and his far-flung trips to the South Seas and Japan yielded only tame travel scenes. Combining nearly 200 illustrations with essays by scholars, this catalogue of a traveling exhibit includes photographs of his interiors for the Vanderbilt house in New York, civic buildings and churches.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: In his first book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "Laughing Boy," La Farge presented a superb lyrical story of Navajo Indian life. He later returned to the Navajo scene with "The Enemy Gods," a richer, deeper book than he had written before, and its theme, both an absorbing story and a living social document, is nearer to his heart.
