Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man [1916] established James Joyce as a leading figure in literary modernism across Europe. The novel is set in the author’s homeland, Ireland, and narrates, in five episodes, the childhood of Stephen Dedalus. The plot is entirely based on Joyce’s own life and serves as a private manifesto, particularly through its sharp declaration of independence from Catholicism. Joyce pioneered a new way of writing novels, abandoning traditional narration for stream of consciousness and introducing his epiphanies—momentary revelations that, in their everydayness, hint at a larger context of life. Upon the recommendation of the American poet Ezra Pound, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was serialized in the magazine The Egoist in 1914/15 before being published as a book the following year. Today, more than a hundred years after its release, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is considered one of the most significant autobiographical texts in world literature. The Modern Library ranked it as the 3rd best English-language novel of the 20th century (with Joyce’s Ulysses as #1). JAMES JOYCE [1882-1941], Irish author, is a key figure in modernist literature with works such as Dubliners [1914], A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man [1916], and Ulysses [1922].

Download or read book Portraits of Famous American Women written by Robert Henkes and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The portrait is one of the most pure collaborative efforts in the art world. The artist is the creator, but she or he is wholly dependent on the sitter for inspiration and stimulus. When the subject is famous, the artist must often compromise true expression for the vanity of the person being painted. Though that would seemingly make the portrait less appealing artistically, in truth the collaborative nature of the portrait often makes it artistically unique, a blending of the artist's style with the desires of the sitter. This work takes a fresh look at the portraits of 13 American women (Marian Anderson, Clara Barton, Mary McLeod Bethune, Pearl Buck, Mary Cassatt, Isadora Duncan, Marianne Moore, Georgia O'Keeffe, Eleanor Roosevelt, Gertrude Stein, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman and Martha Washington) and the artists who created them. In examining the work of such artists as Abraham Walkowitz, John Graham, Betsy Graves Reyneau, Michael Alexander Werboff, and Brenda Putnam, one comes to see the unique combination of the personality of the sitter and the style of the artist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Portraits: Some Notes on the Painted Portraits of Celebrated Characters of England, Scotland, and Ireland is an excellent volume on art history, and more specifically portraiture. It is the work of English author and editor Henry Benjamin Wheatley containing reproductions and detailed entries on more than one hundred English, Irish, and Scottish portraits In Historical Portraits Wheatley remarks in his opening that the painting of portraits was one of the most widespread artistic endeavors in English history. The purpose of the book is thus to create a general catalogue of these works. The book is divided into chapters, each of which details a different segment of painted portraits. There are chapters on spurious and misnamed portraits, amateur portrait painters, portraits of professionals, portraits of actors and actresses, portraits of common people, and several more subjects. As a volume about artwork, this title rightfully includes a significant number of illustrations. Henry Benjamin Wheatley was a portrait enthusiast and a man knowledgeable of art history, and both of these attributes help to shape this text. Wheatley has selected a wide range of portraits for interpretation, ranging from images of a common farmer to members of the aristocracy. The author's textual descriptions and analysis are thorough, well researched, and regularly illuminating. Even readers with a significant knowledge of the subject matter will find this to be an informative read. Wheatley tells both the history of artists and their subjects as well as a broader history of the development of England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. If you are interested in either English history, art history or portraits you would be wise to consider this title.

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.
