Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston possesses one of the world's finest collections of nineteenth-century French and American art. This colourful book illustrates many of its highlights." "As she outlines the history of the collection, Erica Hirshler considers the taste in Boston for atmospheric landscapes which, by the late 1880s, had led young Boston painters to Monet's door. Their willingness to embrace Impressionism helped to popularise this style of painting throughout the United States." "All the high points of Boston's nineteenth-century collections are revealed here, with works by the leading French Impressionist painters and their American counterparts, such as Childe Hassam and Philip Hale."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston Painters: 1720-1940 The task of assembling an exhibition of paintings by artists who have contributed significantly to the development of Boston's heritage over the past two and one-half centuries has been a difficult but rewarding one. While limitations of time and space have necessarily forced the selection to be less than all-inclusive, serious effort was made to choose paintings for their value as works of art and in many cases, for the significance of the subject in relation to the Boston area. It was the intention of those who selected the work not only to present examples by the most familiar names but to include pictures which, while not by an artist of wide repute, deserved attention for reasons of their content and quality. These pictures have, indeed, proven to be among the most interesting of those selected. While an exhibition of this kind, chosen on the basis of area and period must by its very nature lack thematic cohesiveness, the enormous variety and richness of Boston's social, cultural, political as well as artistic history from its beginnings as a colonial center to recent times are reflected in the paintings. Some of the paintings refer to Boston's early families, its first hospitals, schools and other institutions, while others reflect the stylistic and esthetic influences which would go on to affect the subsequent development of art in America. Still other paintings in the group depict the physical nature of the Boston Area and its changing appearance over the centuries. The role of the University in the city has become, over the years, increasingly that of an active participant in the cultural and social development of the urban environment. Part of its responsibility lies in reflecting the traditions and illuminating the past of the city within which the University lives. It is hoped that in presenting this Exhibition of Boston Painters, Boston University's School of Fine and Applied Arts is helping to do just that.

Download or read book Boston s Apollo written by Erica E. Hirshler and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1916, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) met Thomas Eugene McKeller (1890-1962) a young African American elevator attendant at Boston's Hotel Vendome. McKeller became the principal model for Sargent's murals in the new wing of the Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, among the painter's most ambitious works. Sargent's nude studies and sketches from this project attest to a close collaboration between the two men that unfolded over nearly ten years. Featuring drawings given by Sargent to Isabella Stewart Gardner and published in full for the first time, a portrait of McKeller, and archival materials reconstructing his life and relationship with Sargent, this book opens new avenues into artist-model relationships and transforms our understanding of Sargent's iconic American paintings. Essays offer the first biography of Thomas McKeller and a window into African America life in early 20th century Roxbury. They address the artist's sexuality, his models, and consider questions of race and gender.

Boston's coup made headlines around the world. Soon, an Italian art sleuth began investigating the painting's export from Italy, challenging the museum's ownership. Simultaneously, experts on both sides of the Atlantic lined up to debate its very authenticity. The museums charismatic director, Perry T. Rathbone, faced the most challenging crossroads of his career. The Boston Raphael was a media sensation in its time, but the full story of the forces that converged on the museum and how they intersected with the challenges of the Sixties is now revealed in full detail by the director's daughter.

The MFA's French painting collection is one of America's greatest, and this catalogue marks the first scholarly publication of many of its highlights. Each work is fully illustrated (many in color), and each entry includes a full bibliography and provenance as well as text discussing the work's significance. An introductory essay also provides background on the history of the collection's formation from the acquisition of the Boucher in 1871 to the present day.
