Book Synopsis Sir Orme Sargent and British Policy Towards Europe, 1926–1949 by : Adam Richardson
Download or read book Sir Orme Sargent and British Policy Towards Europe, 1926–1949 written by Adam Richardson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the career of Sir Orme Sargent, one of the most important and distinguished British diplomats of the twentieth century. For almost a quarter of century, Sargent helped shape British policy towards Europe. Covering the period from 1926 to 1949, this study explores Sargent and Foreign Office responses during a tumultuous period which included the collapse of Weimar Germany, the rise of Fascism, the Second World War, Anglo-Soviet relations and the dawn of the Cold War. In doing so, it sheds light on an important but largely neglected historical figure in the study of twentieth century British foreign policy. The book will be of use and interest to scholars, students and general researchers in the fields of twentieth-century foreign policy, British history, diplomatic relations and Britain’s relationship with Europe.
Book Synopsis John Singer Sargent by : Richard Ormond
Download or read book John Singer Sargent written by Richard Ormond and published by Paul Mellon Centre. This book was released on 1998 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From 1874 to 1882, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) produced more than 200 paintings and water-colours aside from portraiture that chart his development as an artist. The breadth of his achievement includes figures in landscape settings, architectural studies, seascapes, subject paintings, and studies after old masters. From his powerful studies of models in Paris in the mid-1870s to his compelling paintings set in Venice in the early 1880s, the works published in this volume of the catalogue raisonne show the variety of his aesthetic responses." "Working in the studio and en plein air, Sargent travelled widely during the eight years covered in this volume, painting in Paris, Brittany, Capri, Spain, North Africa and Venice." "This is the first time that Sargent's early work has been mapped so comprehensively. With very few exceptions, this book illustrates all the pictures under discussion in colour. Each painting, including several which have never been published before, is documented in depth with full provenance, exhibition history and bibliography. Original research of primary documents and on-site investigations uncovered much new information, presented in critical discussions of subject matter, dating, style, and significance in the artist's career. The volume reproduces a wealth of Sargent's preliminary and related drawings and of comparative works by other artists." --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis John Singer Sargent and His Muse by : Karen Corsano
Download or read book John Singer Sargent and His Muse written by Karen Corsano and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sensitive and compelling biography sheds new light on John Singer Sargent’s art through an intimate history of his family. Karen Corsano and Daniel Williman focus especially on his niece and muse, Rose-Marie Ormond, telling her story for the first time. In a score of paintings created between 1906 and 1912, John Singer Sargent documented the idyllic teenage summers of Rose-Marie and his own deepening affection for her serene beauty and good-hearted, candid charm. Rose-Marie married Robert, the only son of André Michel, the foremost art historian of his day, who had known Sargent and reviewed his paintings in the Paris Salons of the 1880s. Robert was a promising historian as well, until the Great War claimed him first as an infantry sergeant, then a victim, in 1914. His widow Rose-Marie served as a nurse in a rehabilitation hospital for blinded French soldiers until she too was killed, crushed under a bombed church vault, in 1918. Sargent expressed his grief, as he expressed all his emotions, on canvas: He painted ruined French churches and, in Gassed, blinded soldiers; he made his last murals for the Boston Public Library a cryptic memorial to Rose-Marie and her beloved Robert. Braiding together the lives and families of Rose-Marie, Robert, and John Sargent, the book spans their many worlds—Paris, the Alps, London, the Soissons front, and Boston. Drawing on a rich trove of letters, diaries, and journals, this beautifully illustrated history brings Sargent and his times to vivid life.
Download or read book Sargent written by Hilliard T. Goldfarb and published by Gardner Museum. This book was released on 1999 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) is most known for his salon portraits, his late landscape paintings -- notably those completed from 1905 to 1917 -- mark an important departure for him. in them he explored stylistic avenues suggested by the late impressionists while reflecting a contemporaneous Victorian interest in unspoiled nature. T. J. Jackson Lears places the late landscapes in the context of the time, travel, attention, and exploratory interest Sargent lavished upon them, examining them against the larger background of America's reconsideration of nature's place in the humanities. Sargent's "modernist" tendency as an experimental painter later in his career is the focus of Erica Hirshler's essay. Hilliard T. Goldfarb writes about Sargent's candid, sometimes amusing, often pithy, and practical observations on travel and work, using archival material at the Gardner Museum as well as Sargent's letters and recorded recollections by his circle of friends.

Book Synopsis An American Collection by : Amon Carter Museum of Western Art
Download or read book An American Collection written by Amon Carter Museum of Western Art and published by Hudson Hills. This book was released on 2001 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Amon G. Carter (1879-1955) is one of the legendary men of Texas history. Born in a log cabin, he was self-made, becoming Fort Worth's leading citizen and champion. He developed an interest in the art of Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell through his friendship with Will Rogers. Carter's will provided for the establishment of a museum in Fort Worth devoted to the art of the American West. While the museum holds the most significant collection anywhere of works by Remington and Russell and is a pioneer in the field of western studies, it has evolved into one of the great museums of American art as a whole, focusing on artists working on successive frontiers, aesthetic as well as geographic. Its photography collection alone has grown to nearly one-quarter of a million objects." "The museum, designed by noted architect Philip Johnson, opened to the public in 1961. On the occasion of its fortieth anniversary, a substantially expanded building, also designed by Mr. Johnson, was inaugurated. This volume relates the museum's history and presents color and duotone illustrations of 125 of its masterworks dating from 1822 to 1998 (paintings, sculpture, prints, watercolors, pastels, drawings, and photographs), with an essay about each and a biography of each artist. It includes a number of landmark works recently added to the collection and unveiled here for the first time: paintings by John Singer Sargent, Stuart Davis, and Marsden Hartley; sculpture by Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson; a daguerreotype by Southworth and Hawes; and photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, David Smith, Robert Adams, and Linda Connor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of British Foreign Policy by : Peter Neville
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of British Foreign Policy written by Peter Neville and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British foreign policy has always been based on distinctive principles since the setting up of the Foreign Office in 1782 as one of the two original offices of state, the other being the Home Office. As a small island nation, Britain was historically fearful of over mighty continental powers, which might seek to menace its trade routes, and naval primacy was essential. Britain must dominate at sea while avoiding, involvement in major continental wars and Britain accomplished this successfully until the end of the 19th century. After World War II and the Cold War Britain was no longer the global naval super power and they had to adapt to a secondary, supportive role. This was to be based on its membership of regional defense and economic organizations in Europe. The Historical Dictionary of British Foreign Policy provides an overview of the conduct of British diplomacy since the setting up of the Foreign Office in 1782. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, an extensive bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on British prime ministers, foreign secretaries, foreign office staff and leading diplomats, but also on related military and political-economic aspects. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about British foreign policy.

Book excerpt: Drawing on substantial new research, Saville focuses on the role of Ernest Bevin and his differences with Clement Attlee, particularly with regard to the Middle East. Countering the widely held view that Bevin sought accommodation with the Soviet Union, he reveals Labour's Foreign Secretary as a fervent ideologue, wholly in agreement with the deep-seated anti-Sovietism of his permanent officials.
Download or read book Sargent written by John Esten and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 2000 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Singer Sargent, the celebrated portrait painter of the fashionable and famous of the fin de siecle and the Gilded Age, maintained the yearly routine, begun during his student days, of taking painting sabbaticals with a select company of artist friends and family, traveling as far east as Palestine and as far west as the Canadian Rockies. John Esten has assembled a shining collection of drawings, paintings, and watercolors by Sargent - many of them rarely seen - on the friends and family that accompanied him on these holiday excursions. Sargent's works, along with selected paintings, watercolors, and photographs done by his friends in the locations where he painted them, have been further illuminated by descriptions of artists painting and outdoor places by Sargent's champion and life-long friend Henry James."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
