Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Chicago: A Sketch Mr. Rockefeller, though from the first he has given, not only his wealth, but his deepest consideration and interest, to the University, refused to let his name be made a part of the title. He wished to be a friend to the institution and a fellow-worker with others for its welfare. He wanted it to stand, not as a monument to himself or to any other man, but solid in its own strength and devotion to the truth. Only so could it be free to perform the great services which a uni versity should render. And thus all who have put the work of their brains into the upbuilding of the institution have looked far beyond their own lifetime, beyond the Chicago of today and the interests of the Middle West, and, undaunted by the crudities of the present, have ceaselessly planned for a great future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Sketches His watchword is liberty, or independence, or, one may almost say, selfishness. The principle which at starting has fascinated him is that of equilibrium, of mental and moral stagnation, of absolute indifference to all but self, of a pleasure which consists in the simple unhindered drawing of the breath, a torpidity like that of a surfeited boa-constrictor. Why was man made perfectible, when beast was not? Rousseau asks in effect. Why did Nature give him the fatal power to mould himself irrespective of her intentions, when she denied it to the world of animals? When man had no needs, he was content; when he had no virtues.

Download or read book Classical Drawing Atelier written by Juliette Aristides and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time—and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance.

Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. Classical Drawing Atelier is an atelier in a book—and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of works of Old Masters and today’ s most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, Classical Drawing Atelier is a serious art course for serious art students.
Download or read book Biographical and Historical Sketches Classic Reprint written by T. Babington Macaulay and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical and Historical Sketches The edition was prepared with the help of Atterbury, who was Boyle's tutor, and of some other members of the college. It was an edition such as might be expected from people who would stoop to edit such a book. The notes were worthy of the text; the Latin version worthy of the Greek original. The volume would have been for gotten in a month, had not a misunderstanding about a manuscript arisen between the young editor and the great est scholar that had appeared in Europe since the revival of letters, Richard Bentley. The manuscript was in Bentley's keeping. Boyle wished it to be collated. A mischief-making bookseller informed him that Bentley had refused to lend it, which was false, and also that Bentley had Spoken contemptuously of the letters attrib uted to Phalaris, and of the critics who were taken in by such counterfeits, which was perfectly true. Boyle, much provoked, paid, in his preface, a bitterly ironical compli ment to Bentley's courtesy. Bentley revenged himself by a short dissertation, in which he proved that the epistles were spurious, and the new edition of them worthless: but he treated Boyle personally with civility as a young gen tleman of great hopes, whose love of learning was highly commendable, and who deserved to have had better in structors.

Download or read book Art in America written by Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in America: A Critical and Historical Sketch The aim of this book has been. To give a historical outline of the growth of the arts in America. But while this has been the dominating idea in the mind of the writer, criticism has necessarily entered, more or less, into the preparation of the work, since only by weighing the differ ences or the comparative merits of those artists who seemed best to illus trate the various phases of American art has it been possible to trace its progress from one step to another. It is from no lack of appreciation of their talents that the author has apparently neglected mention of the American artists resident in foreign capitals - like Bridgman, Duveneck, Wight, Neal, Bacon, Benson, Ernest Parton, Millet, Whistler, Dana, Blashfield, Miss Gardner, Miss Conant, and many others who have done credit to American aesthetic culture. But it was necessary to draw the line somewhere; and to discuss what our artists are painting abroad would have at once enlarged the scope of the work beyond the limits of the plan adopted. An exception has been made in the case of our sculptors, because they have so uniformly lived and wrought in Europe, and so large a proportion of them are still resi dent there, that, were we to confine this branch of the subject only to the sculptors now actually in America, there would be little left to say about their department of our arts.

Download or read book The Pioneers written by David McCullough and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important chapter in the American story that’s “as resonant today as ever” (The Wall Street Journal)—the settling of the Northwest Territory by courageous pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would define our country. As part of the Treaty of Paris, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler’s son Ephraim; and two other men, one a carpenter turned architect, and the other a physician who became a prominent pioneer in American science. “With clarity and incisiveness, [McCullough] details the experience of a brave and broad-minded band of people who crossed raging rivers, chopped down forests, plowed miles of land, suffered incalculable hardships, and braved a lonely frontier to forge a new American ideal” (The Providence Journal). Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. “A tale of uplift” (The New York Times Book Review), this is a quintessentially American story, written with David McCullough’s signature narrative energy.
