Book excerpt: This volume features artists who brought a new sophistication and elegancento American art in the three decades before World War I. Wealthyndustrialists eager to acquire culture began to patronize native artists whoad achieved international recognition. John Singer Sargent, Irving Wiles andecilia Beaux created portraits of these new patrons, while John La Farge andugustus Saint-Gaudens made luxurious adornments for their homes. One groupf painters - including Louis Comfort Tiffany, Frederick Arthur Bridgman,enry Ossawa Tanner and Charles Sprague Pearce - responded especially to theascnation with exotic Middle Eastern, Egyptian or "Oriental" cultures thatharacterized this age of international imperialism. The educated and refinedspects of Gilded Age culture are expressed here in Renaissance-inspiredaintings by Abbott Thayer and Mary Cassatt. Romantic literary works byisionary Albert Pinkham Ryder symbolize the idealized strivings of thiseneration, while the rugged masculine landscapes of Winslow Homer emblemizehe struggle and conflict that marked this period of contending social and

Book excerpt: Religious imagery was ubiquitous in late-nineteenth-century American life: department stores, schoolbooks, postcards, and popular magazines all featured elements of Christian visual culture. Such imagery was not limited to commercial and religious artifacts, however, for it also found its way into contemporary fine art. In Signs of Grace, Kristin Schwain looks anew at the explicitly religious work of four prominent artists in this period--Thomas Eakins, F. Holland Day, Abbott Handerson Thayer, and Henry Ossawa Tanner--and argues that art and religion performed analogous functions within American culture. Fully expressing the concerns and values of turn-of-the-century Americans, this artwork depicted religious figures and encouraged the beholders' communion with them.Describing how these artists drew on their religious beliefs and practices, as well as how beholders looked to art to provide a transcendent experience, Schwain explores how a modern conception of faith as an individual relationship with the divine facilitated this sanctified relationship between art and viewer. This stress on the interior and subjective experience of religion accentuated the artist's efforts to engage beholders personally with works of art; how better to fix the viewer's attention than to hold out the promise of salvation? Schwain shows that while these new visual practices emphasized individual encounters with art objects, they also carried profound social implications. By negotiating changes in religious belief--by aestheticizing faith in a new, particularly American manner--these practices contributed to evolving debates about art, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender.

Book excerpt: Though perhaps best known for his portraits, American painter Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849-1921) also developed detailed theories of animal camouflage. With his fine-arts training and his careful observations of nature, Thayer created works that he believed argued for his views on natural selection. He later patented his camouflage patterns and lobbied the US military for the use of his designs on ships and uniforms; his theories were eventually published in 1909 and were hotly debated by leading scholars and public figures of the day, including Theodore Roosevelt. This book is the first to address Thayer's participation in some of the greatest scientific and cultural debates of his age, proposing that the artist's seemingly idiosyncratic religious subjects and scientific theories were an attempt to reconcile spiritual uncertainties in a time of emerging science. The new scholarship lends insight into an Anglo-American culture unmoored by Darwinism and the horrors of World War I.

This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Exhibition of the Work of Abbott Handerson Thayer Appreciation of the work of Abbott Thayer is heightened if we regard it in perspective, taking into consideration the state of American art when he began his career. Inness, La Fargo, Whistler, Vedder, and Winslow Homer were all his seniors. But he was more closely allied to them than to the men of his own generation. There was a decisive moment in the history of Ameri can art in which an old point of view gave place to a new one. It fell in the '7 0's, when we discovered Europe for purposes of training. We went in for craftsmanship then, an object which many of us have pursued ever since. This choice has promoted precious gains, but they have been more favorable to the develop ment of representative art than of creative art; the '7 ushered in the triumph of the brilliantly painted morceau. Thayer, who was nothing if not a man of original genius, made his own choice and it ran counter to the prevailing tide though he, too, was nominally swept into that tide. Proceeding to Paris in 1875, when he was twenty-six years old, he joined in the search after craftsmanship, yet preserved intact the almost antithetical spirit which, as I have said, allies him to the seniors aforementioned.
