Book excerpt: This volume presents the art and life of Nell Blaine, a member of the second generation of the New York School. Her work represents a dialogue between abstract principles and her sensory responses to the visible world. Her oils and watercolours of gardens, landscapes and flower still lifes display her commitment to the pleasure principle, her delight in vision, combined with a gift for improvisation and rhythm learned from the jazz greats of the 1940s.
Book Synopsis Women in Long Island's Past by : Natalie A. Naylor
Download or read book Women in Long Island's Past written by Natalie A. Naylor and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have been part of Long Island's past for thousands of years but are nearly invisible in the records and history books. From pioneering doctors to dazzling aviatrixes, author Natalie A. Naylor brings these larger-than-life but little-known heroines out of the lost pages of island history. Anna Symmes Harrison, Julia Gardiner Tyler, Edith Kermit Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt all served as first lady of the United States, and all had Long Island roots. Beloved children's author Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden here, and hundreds of local suffragists fought for their right to vote in the early twentieth century. Discover these and other stories of the remarkable women of Long Island.

Book Synopsis Courbet and the Modern Landscape by :
Download or read book Courbet and the Modern Landscape written by and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its fittingly dramatic design, Courbet and the Modern Landscape accompanies the first major museum exhibition specifically to address Gustave Courbet's extraordinary achievement in landscape painting. Many of these carefully selected works produced from 1855 to 1876--gathered from Asia, Europe, and North America--will be new to readers. The catalogue--which accompanies an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held from February 21 to May 14, 2006--highlights the artist's expressive responses to the natural environment. Essays by the curators examine Courbet's distinctly modern practice of landscape painting. Mary Morton's essay situates his landscapes in relation to his work in other genres, his critical reputation, and his role in establishing a new pictorial language for landscape painting. Charlotte Eyerman's essay investigates how later generations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists responded to Courbet's example. The catalogue also includes an essay by Dominique de Font-Reaulx, curator of photographs at the Musee d'Orsay, on the relationship between Courbet's work and landscape photography of the 1850s and 1860s.

Book Synopsis Thomas Cole's Studio by : Annette Blaugrund
Download or read book Thomas Cole's Studio written by Annette Blaugrund and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of nineteenth-century American landscape painter Thomas Cole and the influential role of his studio for other artists of the Hudson River School. In December 1846, Thomas Cole excitedly began work in his new studio, but his early death left his great ambitions unfinished. His influence, both through works from his early career and ones he worked on in a self-designed studio during his final year, was truly profound for others who followed his example. In Thomas Cole's Studio: Memory and Inspiration, the artist's achievements and impact on future artists are described by renowned Cole scholar Franklin Kelly, along with contributions from three additional authors. Together, they offer a new understanding of the critical last phase of Cole's career and his lasting effect on other artists, as well as his unrealized ambitions.
Book Synopsis Voices in the Gallery by : Grant Holcomb
Download or read book Voices in the Gallery written by Grant Holcomb and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2001 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forty writers in this book, all prominent poets and novelists, were asked to select a work of art from the University of Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery and respond to it with a poem, short story or essay. The writers include Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners, New York State Poets and MacArthur Fellows. Their works range from the gritty "hour of charcoal and amber" in Kate Braverman's response to Douglas Gorsline's 1942 painting Bar Scene, to a delightful short story by Tom Gavin based upon Winslow Homer's magnificent painting The Artist's Studio in an Afternoon Fog. A notable group of nineteenth-century American landscape paintings caught the attention of a number of writers, while the poet John Ashbery found the contemporary landscape painting of Jane Freilicher to be a "continual joie de vivre." Other contributors include Andrea Barrett, National Book Award Winner for Fiction in 1996; Hayden Carruth, National Book Award Winner for Poetry in 1996; Anthony Hecht, Chancellor Emeritus of the Academy of American Poets; and Joanna Scott, recipient of the Pushcart Prize and the Lannan Literary Award.With imagination and originality, these writers have recreated the works of art and enable us to see anew many of the treasures in the collections of the Memorial Art Gallery. Grant Holcomb is the Director of the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester.
