Book excerpt: Joseph Rodefer DeCamp was one of America's finest painters. Throughout his career he experimented with, and mastered, many techniques, constantly thirsting for new ways to express his artistic skills. DeCamp's first leanings were towards landscape painting, yet it is a tragic irony that so few of his landscapes survive, as a significant proportion of his early work, some several hundred paintings, was destroyed by fire when he was 46. This tragedy was compounded in later years by ill health, which reduced his output. Joseph Rodefer DeCamp was born in 1858 in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he studied at the McMicken School of Design. He left America in 1878 to study in Munich and then lived in Florence and Italy, before returning to the USA in 1883. The following year he settled in Boston. He was a founding member of the Ten American painters in 1897 and visited North Africa, Spain and England in 1909. DeCamp died in 1923 in Boca Grande, Florida. This book examines the artist's life in terms of seven well-defined periods. The book traces how, as a boy in Cincinnati, he showed astonishing early dedication to his talent. It describes how he trained in Europe for five years, studying first at the Royal Academy in Munich and then training under Frank Duveneck while living in Venice and Florence. Author Laurene Buckley examines DeCamp's blossoming career on his return to America in three stages: Cincinnati and teaching in Cleveland; his early years in Boston; and his emergence as a national figure when, in the 1890s, he turned his consummate skills to Impressionism. Experimenting with bright colours, he earned himself an accolade from the New York Times as a painter "in the Monet advance." During the period that Laurene Buckley describes as DeCamp's "maturity", 1900-1917, the artist became well known for his portraiture. Many of his most famous surviving paintings are portraits. This book not only retells the story of DeCamp's varied life, but also examines his seemingly limitless experimentation throughout his career, and discusses his meticulous skills as a draftsman. It is illustrated throughout with many of DeCamp's finest works, including several images of the paintings lost as a result of the fire in his Boston Harcourt Street studio in 1904.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Were late nineteenth-century gender boundaries as restrictive as is generally held? In Redefining Gender in American Impressionist Studio Paintings: Work Place/Domestic Space, Kirstin Ringelberg argues that it is time to bring the current re-evaluation of the notion of separate spheres to these images. Focusing on studio paintings by American artists William Merritt Chase and Mary Fairchild MacMonnies Low, she explores how the home-based painting studio existed outside of entrenched gendered divisions of public and private space and argues that representations of these studios are at odds with standard perceptions of the images, their creators, and the concept of gender in the nineteenth century. Unlike most of their bourgeois contemporaries, Gilded Age artists, whether male or female, often melded the worlds of work and home. Through analysis of both paintings and literature of the time, Ringelberg reveals how art history continues to support a false dichotomy; that, in fact, paintings that show women negotiating a complex combination of professionalism and domesticity are still overlooked in favor of those that emphasize women as decorative objects. Redefining Gender in American Impressionist Studio Paintings challenges the dominant interpretation of American (and European) Impressionism, and considers both men and women artists as active performers of multivalent identities.

Book excerpt: Impressionism -- the interpretation of nature through color and light -- was the most powerful influence on American painters until after World War II. William H. Gerdts offers here an overview of the movement, followed by 66 superb full-page colorplates, each accompanied by an informative commentary. He begins with Mary Cassatt and moves to John Singer Sargent. Discussed next are the artists who worked in Giverny, France, under the influence of Money -- Theodore Robinson, John Leslie Breck, and Dawson Dawson-Watson. Gerdts then considers Childe Hassam, Julian Alden Weir, William Merritt Chase, and John Twachtman, as well as various groups such as the Old Lyme, Connecticut, art colony; the Society of Ozark Painters, and artists working on the West Coast. He concludes with the second generation of Americans in Giverny, Frederick Frieseke and Richard Miller. -- Form publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late in the nineteenth century, many Americans were troubled by the theories of Charles Darwin, which contradicted both traditional Christian teachings and the idea of human supremacy over nature, and by an influx of foreign immigrants, who challenged the supremacy of the old Anglo-Saxon elite. In response, many people drew comfort from the theories of philosopher Herbert Spencer, who held that human society inevitably develops towards higher and more spiritual forms. In this illuminating study, Kathleen Pyne explores how Spencer’s theories influenced a generation of American artists. She shows how the painters of the 1880s and 1890s, particularly John La Farge, James McNeill Whistler, Thomas Dewing and the Boston school, and the impressionist painters of the Ten, developed an art dedicated to social refinement and spiritual ideals and to defending the Anglo-Saxon elite of which they were members. This linking of visual culture to the problematic conditions of American life radically reinterprets the most important trends in late nineteenth-century American painting.

Book excerpt: Mystic was one of the most active shipbuilding ports along New England's southern coast during the mid-1800s. At the end of the age of sail, Mystic made a successful transition to a new economy based on textile and machine manufacturing, maritime engineering, and small craft building. These industries carried the village into the twentieth century. Today Mystic is a world-class tourist destination, a community that is both divided and unified by the Mystic River. The history of Mystic mirrors the history of many coastal New England towns, but the images here are unique to this southeastern Connecticut region and will be recognized by both residents and visitors alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The radical changes wrought by the rise of the salon system in nineteenth-century Europe provoked an interesting response from painters in the American South. Painterly trends emanating from Barbizon and Giverny emphasized the subtle textures of nature through warm color and broken brush stroke. Artists' subject matter tended to represent a prosperous middle class at play, with the subtle suggestion that painting was indeed art for art's sake and not an evocation of the heroic manner. Many painters in the South took up the stylistics of Tonalism, Impressionism, and naturalism to create works of a very evocative nature, works which celebrated the Southern scene as an exotic other, a locale offering refuge from an increasingly mechanized urban environment. Scenic Impressions offers an insight into a particular period of American art history as borne out in seminal paintings from the holdings of the Johnson Collection of Spartanburg, South Carolina. By consolidating academic information on a disparate group of objects under a common theme and important global artistic umbrella, Scenic Impressions will underscore the Johnsons' commitment to illuminating the rich cultural history of the American South and advancing scholarship in the field, specifically examining some forty paintings created between 1880 and 1940, including landscapes and genre scenes. A foreword, written by Kevin Sharp, director of the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, Tennessee, introduces the topic. Two lead essays, written by noted art historians Estill Curtis Pennington and Martha R. Severens, discuss the history and import of the Impressionist movement—abroad and domestically—and specifically address the school's influence on art created in and about the American South. The featured works of art are presented in full color plates and delineated in complementary entries written by Pennington and Severens. Also included are detailed artist biographies illustrated by photographs of the artists, extensive documentation, and indices. Featured artists include Wayman Adams, Colin Campbell Cooper, Elliott Daingerfield, G. Ruger Donoho, Harvey Joiner, John Ross Key, Blondelle Malone, Lawrence Mazzanovich, Paul Plaschke, Hattie Saussy, Alice Ravenel, Huger Smith, Anthony Thieme, and Helen Turner.
