Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Pennell's Etchings of New York "Sky Scrapers" At the invitation of the authorities at the St. Louis Exposition Mr. Pennell went from Lon don to St. Louis, where he served as Chairman of the Jury on Illustration and Engraving, and returning eastward by way of Philadelphia - his native city - he came on to us here in New York. His stay with us was brief, because, as usual, he was wanted in Europe, where impor tant commissions awaited him. Arrived in New York, Mr. Pennell's experi ence has been similar to what it was in the many European countries whose scenes he has depicted. He cares as little as ever for the recognized show-pieces, - just as little as Whistler himself cared, and says of our Old City Hall, and Grace Church, and the Central Park that they are all very well in their way, but that the same things, or things very similar, may be seen in almost any other civilized capital; but the tower ing piles of the New York sky scrapers each one of them like a whole street set on end - have impressed Mr. Pennell very strongly.

This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Pennell's Etchings of London Sixty-seven new etchings of London by Joseph Pennell compose the major portion of the exhibition of that artist's work at the Keppel Galleries, No. 4 East Thirty-ninth Street. The other etchings on view are his al ready famous set of New York Sky Scrapers. The two sets are a series oflittle masterpieces. They are enough by themselves to establish Pen nell's position as the first ofcontemporary etchers of architecture. With his pen and ink work they show him unequalled as a maker of por traits of places. No other living artist has so travelled the world over and recorded the in dividual character of cities and countries with a charm so personal and interpretative. Many of the new London etchings make an interesting invasion into Whistler's territory. There are the bits ofold Chelsea, the little sheps.

Book Synopsis Italy in Early American Cinema by : Giorgio Bertellini
Download or read book Italy in Early American Cinema written by Giorgio Bertellini and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giorgio Bertellini traces the origins of American cinema's century-long fascination with Italy and Italian immigrants to the popularity of the pre-photographic aesthetic—the picturesque. Once associated with landscape painting in northern Europe, the picturesque came to symbolize Mediterranean Europe through comforting views of distant landscapes and exotic characters. Taking its cue from a picturesque stage backdrop from The Godfather Part II, Italy in Early American Cinema shows how this aesthetic was transferred from 19th-century American painters to early 20th-century American filmmakers. Italy in Early American Cinema offers readings of early films that pay close attention to how landscape representations that were related to narrative settings and filmmaking locations conveyed distinct ideas about racial difference and national destiny.

On the question of his methods Mr. Pennell has himself said In the beginning I etched my plates in the old-fashioned way and then had them printed by others; now I work as Whistler taught me to work and my plates are all printed by myself.

Book Synopsis Skyscraper Gothic by : Kevin D. Murphy estate
Download or read book Skyscraper Gothic written by Kevin D. Murphy estate and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all building types, the skyscraper strikes observers as the most modern, in terms not only of height but also of boldness, scale, ingenuity, and daring. As a phenomenon born in late nineteenth-century America, it quickly became emblematic of New York, Chicago, and other major cities. Previous studies of these structures have tended to foreground examples of more evincing modernist approaches, while those with styles reminiscent of the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe were initially disparaged as being antimodernist or were simply unacknowledged. Skyscraper Gothic brings together a group of renowned scholars to address the medievalist skyscraper—from flying buttresses to dizzying spires; from the Chicago Tribune Tower to the Woolworth Building in Manhattan. Drawing on archival evidence and period texts to uncover the ways in which patrons and architects came to understand the Gothic as a historic style, the authors explore what the appearance of Gothic forms on radically new buildings meant urbanistically, architecturally, and socially, not only for those who were involved in the actual conceptualization and execution of the projects but also for the critics and the general public who saw the buildings take shape. Contributors: Lisa Reilly on the Gothic skyscraper ● Kevin Murphy on the Trinity and U.S. Realty Buildings ● Gail Fenske on the Woolworth Building ● Joanna Merwood-Salisbury on the Chicago School ● Katherine M. Solomonson on the Tribune Tower ● Carrie Albee on Atlanta City Hall ● Anke Koeth on the Cathedral of Learning ● Christine G. O'Malley on the American Radiator Building

Book Synopsis The "new Woman" Revised by : Ellen Wiley Todd
Download or read book The "new Woman" Revised written by Ellen Wiley Todd and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years between the world wars, Manhattan's Fourteenth Street-Union Square district became a center for commercial, cultural, and political activities, and hence a sensitive barometer of the dramatic social changes of the period. It was here that four urban realist painters--Kenneth Hayes Miller, Reginald Marsh, Raphael Soyer, and Isabel Bishop--placed their images of modern "new women." Bargain stores, cheap movie theaters, pinball arcades, and radical political organizations were the backdrop for the women shoppers, office and store workers, and consumers of mass culture portrayed by these artists. Ellen Wiley Todd deftly interprets the painters' complex images as they were refracted through the gender ideology of the period. This is a work of skillful interdisciplinary scholarship, combining recent insights from feminist art history, gender studies, and social and cultural theory. Drawing on a range of visual and verbal representations as well as biographical and critical texts, Todd balances the historical context surrounding the painters with nuanced analyses of how each artist's image of womanhood contributed to the continual redefining of the "new woman's" relationships to men, family, work, feminism, and sexuality.
Book Synopsis Pushing the Limits by : Henry Petroski
Download or read book Pushing the Limits written by Henry Petroski and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are two dozen tales in the grand adventure of engineering from the Henry Petroski, who has been called America’s poet laureate of technology. Pushing the Limits celebrates some of the largest things we have created–bridges, dams, buildings--and provides a startling new vision of engineering’s past, its present, and its future. Along the way it highlights our greatest successes, like London’s Tower Bridge; our most ambitious projects, like China’s Three Gorges Dam; our most embarrassing moments, like the wobbly Millennium Bridge in London; and our greatest failures, like the collapse of the twin towers on September 11. Throughout, Petroski provides fascinating and provocative insights into the world of technology with his trademark erudition and enthusiasm for the subject.
