Download or read book Frank Vining Smith written by James A. Craig and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Frank Vining Smith (1879-1967), the nineteenth-century clipper ship, like the cathedral of the Middle Ages, was one of men's most glorious accomplishments. As Monet had done with the cathedral, Smith painted the ship, featuring it in different angles and at different times of the day. Having studied under the supervision of Frank W. Benson, and Edmund Tarbell at the Museum School in Boston, Smith brought a new approach to the conservative art of marine painting. When looking at a painting by Smith, one does not see the blueprint of detail that was common in ship painting at the turn of the century, instead one sees masses of shadows and the suggestion of details. Up close, it is difficult to see where one brush-stroke ends and another begins, but seen from a distance, his compositions work perfectly, and is what contributor Peter Williams calls "the alchemy of Smith's impressionism". AUTHOR: James A. Craig is a curator and lecturer specializing in nineteenth-century American marine art. SELLING POINTS: *Definitive exploration of the art and life of this prolific Massachusetts artist's 70 year career *Of interest to museums, universities, yacht clubs, yachting enthusiasts, and antique collectors *Vining Smith's work is in collections across the United States including in navy wardrooms, and he counted former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as one of his loyal patrons ILLUSTRATIONS: 93 colour & 72 b/w
Download or read book Expression and Meaning written by Sam Hunter and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In washes of watercolor and slathers of oil paint, John Marin fixed images of the boundless energy of life itself in marine paintings that resonate today with the same vitality and intensity as when he created them. At the age of 44, in the summer of 1914, the great American modernist moved to the coast of Maine, where he lived for the rest of his life. In Marin's transcendental pursuit to capture the energy of Maine's coastal environment he created paintings that express the meaning beneath the force.

Download or read book Thomas Chambers written by Kathleen A. Foster and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labeled as a traveling American folk artist when he was rediscovered in the mid-20th century, the mysterious Thomas Chambers here receives a fresh and creative reassessment. Although his distinctive sea- and landscapes appear in many American collections, little is known about this English-born painter, who arrived in New Orleans in 1832 and disappeared from record in the mid-1860s, leaving many paintings that later resurfaced in rural New York and Massachusetts. In this richly illustrated work, Kathleen A. Foster shows, however, that far from being simply an itinerant painter of folk art, Chambers actually enjoyed a professional, even entrepreneurial, relationship to the art world. Foster performs close studies of Chambers's known works, his stylistic relationship to his brother (English marine painter George Chambers), and a newly discovered American auction record of 1845. Chambers, she argues, provided a popular landscape art for a middle class of mixed cosmopolitan and folk tastes. Bringing "fancy" painting to this new constituency, Chambers worked outside academic circles, drawing astutely from popular culture. In the 20th century, his rediscovery as "America's first modern" paid tribute to his independent spirit and decorative panache.
