Book excerpt: "A generation ago, few people thought much of Georgia decorative arts, but 20 years of hard work by the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia have changed that mistaken impression. The museum presented the first formal exhibition of Georgia decorative arts in 1975, and other museums in the state followed suit. In 2000, the museum opened the Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts. The center organizes a symposium held every other year to present and publish research on the decorative arts that is among the best attended events of its kind. To celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the Green Center, the museum has organized the exhibition "Material Georgia 1733 - 1900: Two Decades of Scholarship" (on view November 16, 2019, through March 15, 2020), which this catalogue accompanies. This exhibition takes a comprehensive look at Georgia's diverse contributions to early decorative arts and summarizes the scholarship that has been done in the 20 years since the Green Center's founding. It focuses on revealing new discoveries made in the field, pointing a way forward and making the case Georgia can hold its own against any other state in terms of the quality of its decorative arts"--

Download or read book Seeking Eden written by Staci L. Catron and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking Eden promotes an awareness of, and appreciation for, Georgia’s rich garden heritage. Updated and expanded here are the stories of nearly thirty designed landscapes first identified in the early twentieth-century publication Garden History of Georgia, 1733–1933. Seeking Eden records each garden’s evolution and history as well as each garden’s current early twenty-first-century appearance, as beautifully documented in photographs. Dating from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, these publicly and privately owned gardens include nineteenth-century parterres, Colonial Revival gardens, Country Place–era landscapes, rock gardens, historic town squares, college campuses, and an urban conservation garden. Seeking Eden explores the significant impact of the women who envisioned and nurtured many of these special places; the role of professional designers, including J. Neel Reid, Philip Trammel Shutze, William C. Pauley, Robert B. Cridland, the Olmsted Brothers, Hubert Bond Owens, and Clermont Lee; and the influence of the garden club movement in Georgia in the early twentieth century.

Download or read book The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia written by Hermann Winde and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the immigration of the “Georgia Salzburgers,” religious exiles from Europe, The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia tells a story of faith and struggle that is deeply embedded in the religious and cultural life of the American colonial South. Previously unpublished and untranslated, Hermann Winde’s dissertation laid the foundation for a limited group of scholars and specialists who have continued to develop that story for over four decades. Now, both the detail that emerges through Winde’s primary sources and the breadth of the connections he makes across colonial Georgia’s geographical and cultural landscape will continue to appeal to scholars and general readers alike as they enter the world of Georgia’s first Lutheran communities.

Excerpt: ... an exhibition of adroitness in planning, of ability in executing, and of triumph in apparent victory, worthy of a better cause and more righteous designs. The machinery of the scheme thus far was perfect, but the motive power was defective, and its workings were disastrous. While Abraham Bosomworth was absent in London, the chaplain remained mostly at Frederica; but on the disbanding of the regiment, May 29, 1749, he moved into the Creek nation, preparatory to making, and by force, if necessary, sustaining his demand for a moiety of the Indian presents which His Majesty was to send over to Georgia. On the 21st of July, Bosomworth, Mary, Malatchee, and two other chiefs, came to Savannah, and acquainted the President and assistants that two hundred others would soon follow them. To the inquiry, as to the purport of their visit, their answers were "very trifling and dark." They gave out, however, that they had come to meet Mr. Abraham Bosomworth, who had a few months before returned from England, to know what answer he had brought from the great king; and "if he did not bring them satisfaction, they intended, in a very absolute and open manner, to forbid any of His Majesty's subjects to settle in Georgia, above the flowing of the tide," and to insist upon Mr. Bosomworth's being put in possession of the three islands deeded to him by Malatchee, and the lands fronting the river, lying between the town and Pipemaker's bluff; threatening a breach of the peace if all this was not granted. The true reason of their coming at this time was, that as Abraham Bosomworth had failed in most of the expected results of his mission to England, they thought that, now the "red wall" (as they called Oglethorpe's regiment) was...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Dedalus Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award This book explores how Georgia O’Keeffe lived her life steeped in modernism, bringing the same style she developed in her art to her dress, her homes, and her lifestyle. Richly illustrated with images of her art and views of the two homes she designed and furnished in New Mexico, the book also includes never before published photographs of O’Keeffe’s clothes. The author has attributed some of the most exquisite of these garments to O’Keeffe, a skilled seamstress who understood fabric and design, and who has become an icon in today’s fashion world as much for her personal style as for her art. As one of her friends stated, O’Keeffe "never allowed her life to be one thing and her painting another." This fresh and carefully researched study brings O’Keeffe’s style to life, illuminating how this beloved American artist purposefully proclaimed her modernity in the way she dressed and posed for photographers, from Alfred Stieglitz to Bruce Weber. This beautiful book accompanies the first museum exhibition to bring together photographs, clothes, and art to explore O’Keeffe’s unified modernist aesthetic. This book accompanies the show at the Peabody-Essex Museum, Georgia O’Keeffe: Art, Image, Style.
