Book Synopsis John Gadsby Chapman America's First Artist-Etcher by : John F. McGuigan, Jr.
Download or read book John Gadsby Chapman America's First Artist-Etcher written by John F. McGuigan, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Gadsby Chapman (1808-1889) was one of nineteenth-century America's most original and influential artists, and he is deservedly well regarded today for his paintings, drawings, book illustrations, and writing. In contrast, his accomplishments as America's first artist-etcher--that is to say, the first to design and execute his own etchings--have been largely overlooked until now. This monograph is the first to appear on the Virginia-born Chapman for more than half a century and the first ever to consider the totality of his etching career and situate it within the broader context of his personal life and painting practice. Readers familiar with Chapman's mural The Baptism of Pocahontas in the U.S. Capitol, his more than 1,400 designs for Harper Brothers' landmark Illuminated Bible (1846), his American Drawing-Book (1847), and oeuvre of Grand Tour paintings will be delighted to learn more about his prolonged commitment to fine art etching.The full-color volume includes an illustrated catalogue of forty-three original etchings of Italian subjects that Chapman produced over a span of more than fifty years, from his student days in Rome from 1828 to 1830 to his lengthy residence in Italy from 1849 to 1881, and includes four that he made after paintings by his sons John Linton Chapman (1839-1905) and Conrad Wise Chapman (1842-1910). Sixty-nine figures and gorgeous full-page details complement the text and augment our understanding of the Chapman family of painters. The present study will be of note to anyone interested in international 19th-century print culture and is especially timely and relevant in light of recent scholarship that seeks to redress the teleological tendency to privilege photography as the modern, authoritative standard against which all reproductive media are measured.Contents include: 1. Early Life and Tutelage; 2. A Roman Education; 3. The Great Mart of Mammon; 4. Yearning for Italy; 5. Civil War Years; 6. An Etching Revival; 7. Dénouement; Afterword; Catalogue of the Italian Etchings of John Gadsby Chapman; Appendix: "Etchings and Engravings of Original Designs and Other Plates," John Gadsby Chapman's Handwritten Memoranda.

Book Synopsis Graham Sutherland by : Graham Vivian Sutherland
Download or read book Graham Sutherland written by Graham Vivian Sutherland and published by Scolar Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Graham Sutherland (1903-1980) was the greatest English landscape artist of the 20th century. Inspired by the etchings of Samuel Palmer, he went on to transform landscape art in this country." "Sutherland's earliest works, done while he was a student at Goldsmiths' College in the early 1920s, were images of pastoral calm. However, his early success was ended by the 1929 slump, which destroyed the market for contemporary prints." "Sutherland's work went through a transformation around this time, and his landscapes became threatening, sinister and tragic. He achieved maturity and made his first significant contribution to English landscape art with 'Pastoral' (1930) and 'The Garden' (1931)." "He was not content to be merely an English artist, and in later years he strove for greatness on the international stage, not only as a landscape painter, but in portraiture and religious subjects. His studies of Somerset Maugham and Churchill brought fame and controversy, as did his tapestry for Coventry Cathedral." "Sutherland first commanded attention in etching, and this was his principal medium until 1930. Printmaking remained a vital part of his art, and a source of new ideas throughout his career." "This book was first published to accompany an exhibition of Sutherland's early etchings mounted by private dealer Gordon Cooke at The Fine Art Society, 148 New Bond Street, London. It reveals the remarkable progression Sutherland made from talented student to mature artist, creating images which changed the face of English landscape."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Albrecht Dürer’s material world by : Edward H. Wouk
Download or read book Albrecht Dürer’s material world written by Edward H. Wouk and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer is one of the most important figures of the German Renaissance. This book accompanies the first major exhibition of the Whitworth art gallery’s outstanding Dürer collection in over half a century. It offers a new perspective on Dürer as an intense observer of the worlds of manufacture, design and trade that fill his graphic art. Artworks and artefacts examined here expose understudied aspects of Dürer’s art and practice, including his attentive examination of objects of daily domestic use, his involvement in economies of local manufacture and exchange, the microarchitectures of local craft and, finally, his attention to cultures of natural and philosophical inquiry and learning.

Book Synopsis Renaissance Theory by : James Elkins
Download or read book Renaissance Theory written by James Elkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Theory presents an animated conversation among art historians about the optimal ways of conceptualizing Renaissance art, and the links between Renaissance art and contemporary art and theory. This is the first discussion of its kind, involving not only questions within Renaissance scholarship, but issues of concern to art historians and critics in all fields. Organized as a virtual roundtable discussion, the contributors discuss rifts and disagreements about how to understand the Renaissance and debate the principal texts and authors of the last thirty years who have sought to reconceptualize the period. They then turn to the issue of the relation between modern art and the Renaissance: Why do modern art historians and critics so seldom refer to the Renaissance? Is the Renaissance our indispensable heritage, or are we cut off from it by the revolution of modernism? The volume includes an introduction by Rebecca Zorach and two final, synoptic essays, as well as contributions from some of the most prominent thinkers on Renaissance art including Stephen Campbell, Michael Cole, Frederika Jakobs, Claire Farago, and Matt Kavaler.

Book Synopsis Print Culture in Early Modern France by : Carl Goldstein
Download or read book Print Culture in Early Modern France written by Carl Goldstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Carl Goldstein examines the print culture of seventeenth-century France through a study of the career of Abraham Bosse, a well-known printmaker, book illustrator, and author of books and pamphlets on a variety of technical subjects. The consummate print professional, Bosse persistently explored the endless possibilities of print – single-sheet prints combining text and image, book illustration, broadsides, placards, almanacs, theses, and pamphlets. Bosse had a profound understanding of print technology as a fundamental agent of change. Unlike previous studies, which have largely focused on the printed word, this book demonstrates the extent to which the contributions of an individual printmaker and the visual image are fundamental to understanding the nature and development of early modern print culture.

Download or read book Canons and Values written by Larry Silver and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical rethinking of the way canons are defined, constructed, dismantled, and revised. A century ago, all art was evaluated through the lens of European classicism and its tradition. This volume explores and questions the foundations of the European canon, offers a critical rethinking of ancient and classical art, and interrogates the canons of cultures and regions that have often been left at the margins of art history. It underscores the historical and geographical diversity of canons and the local values underlying them. Twelve international scholars consider how canons are constructed and contested, focusing on the relationship between canonical objects and the value systems that shape their hierarchies. Deploying an array of methodologies—including archaeological investigations, visual analysis, and literary critique—the authors examine canon formation throughout the world, including Africa, India, East Asia, Mesoamerica, South America, ancient Egypt, classical Greece, and Europe. Global studies of art, which are dismantling the traditionally Eurocentric canon, promise to make art history more inclusive. But enduring canons cannot be dismissed. This volume raises new questions about the importance of canons—including those from outside Europe—for the wider discipline of art history.

Book Synopsis Religion, the Supernatural and Visual Culture in Early Modern Europe by : Jennifer Spinks
Download or read book Religion, the Supernatural and Visual Culture in Early Modern Europe written by Jennifer Spinks and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together some of the most exciting new scholarship on these themes, and thus pays tribute to the ground-breaking work of Charles Zika. Seventeen interdisciplinary essays offer new insights into the materiality and belief systems of early modern religious cultures as found in artworks, books, fragmentary texts and even in Protestant ‘relics’. Some contributions reassess communal and individual responses to cases of possession, others focus on witchcraft and manifestations of the disordered natural world. Canonical figures and events, from Martin Luther to the Salem witch trials, are looked at afresh. Collectively, these essays demonstrate how cultural and interdisciplinary trends in religious history illuminate the experiences of early modern Europeans. Contributors: Susan Broomhall, Heather Dalton, Dagmar Eichberger, Peter Howard, E. J. Kent, Brian P. Levack, Dolly MacKinnon, Louise Marshall, Donna Merwick, Leigh T.I. Penman, Shelley Perlove, Lyndal Roper, Peter Sherlock, Larry Silver, Patricia Simons, Jennifer Spinks, Hans de Waardt and Alexandra Walsham.
