Book Synopsis Vermont: A History by : Charles T. Morrissey
Download or read book Vermont: A History written by Charles T. Morrissey and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1984-12-17 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans, Vermont still seems what the United States at least in myth once was--a bucolic landscape of wooded hills, neat farms, and handsome villages--before modern forces transformed our agrarian nation into an urban-industrial giant. Vermonters have long been respected as sturdy Americans who prize hard work, honest dealing, town-meeting government, and dry humor. Their way of life, along with the beauty of their Green Mountains and quiet valleys, remains immensely attractive to natives and newcomers who seek beauty and the satisfaction of self-sufficiency in a natural environment where rocky soil and a varied climate have always compelled respect.
Book Synopsis The View from Vermont by : Blake A. Harrison
Download or read book The View from Vermont written by Blake A. Harrison and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2006 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its small native population, proximity to major metropolitan areas, and bucolic rural beauty, Vermont was fated to be a tourist mecca, forever associated in the popular imagination with maple syrup, fall colors, and ski bunnies. Tourism, for good and ill, has always been the decisive factor in the conception of rural Vermont. What is surprising, however, is the degree to which we have accepted this notion of rural Vermont as a somehow timeless entity. Blake Harrison's rich and rewarding study instead presents the construction of Vermont's landscape as a complex and ever-changing dynamic informed by progressive, modernist, and reformist thought, competing views of economic expansion, rural and urban prejudice and social exclusion, and (more recently) by land use planning and environmentalism. This broad-based study includes the early history of Vermont tourism, the concomitant abandonment of farms with the rise of the summer home, the creation of an "unspoiled" Vermont (from billboards, at least), the impact of Vermont's ski industry on tradition-bound tourism, and later efforts to legislate growth and protect an increasingly static ideal of a rural Vermont.While grounded within a specific Vermont view, Harrison has much to contribute to broader studies of rural places, tourism, and landscapes in American culture. His analysis of how physical landscapes affect and are affected by our imagined landscape, and the insight afforded by his juxtaposition of leisure and labor, will deeply inform our understanding of rural tourist landscapes for years to come. This is a truly interdisciplinary work that will satisfy and challenge historians and geographers alike.
Book Synopsis Edward Hopper in Vermont by : Bonnie Tocher Clause
Download or read book Edward Hopper in Vermont written by Bonnie Tocher Clause and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2012 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward and Jo Hopper first discovered Vermont in 1927, making day trips from the Whitney Studio Club's summer retreat for New York artists in Charlestown, New Hampshire. In 1935 and 1936 the Hoppers again traveled to Vermont, this time from their summer home in Cape Cod, in Edward's continuing search for new places to paint. During these quests they identified the White River and what Edward considered to be Vermont's "finest" river valley, and they returned there for longer visits in 1937 and 1938, boarding at Robert and Irene Slater's Wagon Wheels farm in South Royalton. These "vacations" were a change from the usual tempo of their lives, a break from the studio-bound easels, canvas, and oils, and an opportunity to paint something different, to be in a new place and paint en plein air. Over the course of his Vermont sojourns, Edward Hopper produced some two dozen paintings, watercolors that are among the most distinctive of his regional works, strongly characterized by place. In this accessible volume, Bonnie Tocher Clause tells the story of the Hoppers' visits to Vermont, their stays on the Slater farm, and their introduction to farm life. She locates the sites shown in Hopper's Vermont paintings, identifies two watercolors not previously recognized as Vermont scenes, and traces the development of Hopper's singular interpretations of the Vermont landscape. In Edward Hopper in Vermont, Clause details the provenance of the Vermont paintings through the years, tracking the history of sales leading to the works' ultimate homes with private collectors and museums. Showcasing all the Vermont paintings in color, this volume will delight both fans of Hopper's work and those who are fascinated by the story of the creation, collection, and business of producing great art.

Book Synopsis Charles Louis Heyde, Nineteenth Century Vermont Landscape Painter by : Nancy Price Graff
Download or read book Charles Louis Heyde, Nineteenth Century Vermont Landscape Painter written by Nancy Price Graff and published by Lund Humphries Publishers Limited. This book was released on 2001 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artist Charles Louis Heyde first visited Vermont in 1852 searching for inspiration for his speciality - landscape painting. Apparently, he found what he was looking for in the state's spectacular scenery. Four years later he moved permanently to Burlington, Vermont, and for nearly thirty-five years painted the scenic views popular with visitors and residents of the region. Mount Mansfield, Lake Champlain, the Winooski River and Otter Creek became his signature subjects.The result of extensive research, this book provides new insights into Heyde's Vermont years through a biography of the artist, a comparison of his work and philosophy with those of his contemporaries, and a discussion of his materials and painting methods. An illustrated catalogue raisonn� follows twenty-eight colour plates of representative paintings of Vermont, neighbouring New York and Massachusetts, and Ottawa, Canada.Charles Louis Heyde captured the beauty of the Vermont landscape through the changing seasons and times of day. Balancing the theme of wilderness with the use of the land for agriculture and recreation, his vision exerts a timeless appeal.

Book Synopsis Fashioning the Canadian Landscape by : John Irvine Little
Download or read book Fashioning the Canadian Landscape written by John Irvine Little and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretations of Canada's emerging identity have been largely based on a relatively small corpus of literary writing and landscape paintings, overlooking the influence of the British and American travel writers who published hundreds of books and articles that did much to fix the image of Canada in the popular imagination. In Fashioning the Canadian Landscape, J.I. Little examines how Canada, much like the United States, came to be identified with its natural landscape. Little argues that in contrast to the American identification with the wilderness sublime, however, Canada’s image was strongly influenced by the picturesque convention favoured by British travel writers. This amply illustrated volume includes chapters ranging from Labrador to British Columbia, some of which focus on such notable British authors as Rupert Brooke and Rudyard Kipling, and others on talented American writers such as Charles Dudley Warner. Based not only on the views of the landscape but on the racist descriptions of the Indigenous peoples and the romanticization of the Canadian ‘folk’, Little argues that the national image that emerged was colonialist as well as colonial in nature.
