Download or read book Sargent written by Richard Ormond and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the sitters in this collection were John Singer Sargents close friends. They are posed informally, sometimes in the act of painting or singing, and it is evident from the bold way they confront us that they are personalities of a creative stamp. Brilliant as these pictures are as works of art and penetrating studies of character, they are also records of relationships, allegiances, influences and aspirations. This volume, and the exhibition it accompanies, aims to explore these friendships in depth and draw out their significance in the story of Sargents life and the development of his art. The book is structured chronologically, with sections arranged according to the places Sargent worked and formed relationships during his cosmopolitan career: Paris, London, New York, Italy and the Alps. The cast of characters includes famous names, among them Gabriel Fauré and Auguste Rodin, Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. But the authors also make their point with images of Sargents familiars, such as the artists Jane and Wilfrid de Glehn who accompanied him on his sketching expeditions to the Continent, and the Italian painter Ambrogio Raffele, a recurrent model in his Alpine studies. In such paintings Sargent explored the making of art (his own included) and the relationship of the artist to the natural world. These are examples of an absorbing range of images and personalities, all distinguished in one way or another for their artistry, and all linked by friendship and a shared aesthetic to the central figure of Sargent himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V. 1. "This gorgeous book, the first of a four-volume definitive catalogue, features Chase's stunning paintings in pastel, which constitute a major and previously understudied body of work by the artist; monotypes; painted tiles and plates; watercolors; and prints. Reconstructing Chase's oeuvre is a daunting task, as the artist left few records of any kind, and no documentation of his individual works exists. Furthermore, Chase's paintings and pastels have been forged in great numbers throughout the years, and many of these works still surface on the art market. Making this long-awaited volume even more valuable is a list of every known exhibition of Chase's work during the artist's lifetime, selected examples of major post-1917 exhibitions, and an essay on Chase's innovative pastel technique"--Jacket.

Book excerpt: The first major examination of Anthony van Dyck's work as a portraitist and an essential resource on this aspect of his illustrious career This landmark volume is a comprehensive survey of the portrait drawings, paintings, and prints of Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), one of the most celebrated portraitists of all time. His supremely elegant style and ability to convey a sense of a sitter's inner life made him a favored portraitist among high-ranking figures and royalty across Europe, as well as among his fellow artists and art enthusiasts. Showcasing the full range of Van Dyck's fascinating international career with more than 100 works, this catalogue celebrates the artist's versatility, inventiveness, and influential approach to portraiture. Works include preparatory drawings and oil sketches that shed light on Van Dyck's working process, prints that allowed his work to reach a wider audience, and grand painted portraits. Some of the masterpieces are drawn from the exceptional holdings of The Frick Collection, while other works are presented here for the first time. Also included are drawings by some of Van Dyck's contemporaries--including his teacher Peter Paul Rubens--that illuminate the lineage of his working method. With insightful contributions by a team of international scholars, this unparalleled study of Van Dyck offers a compelling case for the distinctiveness and importance of the artist's work.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Miniature Portraits, Landscapes, and Other Pieces Not far from the close of the year 1856, several of the friends or Charles Fraser, Esq, impressed by a sense of the value and number of his paintings, conceived the design of collecting together as many of them as possible, for public exhibition. This object they cherished not only for their own gratification, bat as an honor especially due to the Artist, a tribute to bis art, and an entertainment likely to prove at once gratifying and instructive to tho taste of the community. They saw great difficulties in the way, partly on account of the widely scattered localities in which the achievements of fifty or sixty years had been scattered, and partly from the reluctance of the proprietors of such treasures to surrender them to the contingencies of a general exhibition. Yet unwilling to relinquish their design, they proceeded, after having secured the hesitating permission and concurrence of Mr. Fraser himself in regard to the movement, to publish in the daily papers the following appeal: "Fraser Gallery. To the Public. It is well known that there are extant, in Charleston and its vicinity a considerable number of miscellaneous Paintings, including several hundred exquisite miniature Portraits, executed by Charles Fraser, Esq. An extensive and increasing desire baa for some time been entertained, that as many of these Paintings as possible should be collected at an early day, and exhibited to the public. By this method it is judged that an appropriate honor may be rendered to the revered Artist, and that his friends and other lovers of art may be indulged with the privilege, not otherwise to be procured, of beholding, at one favorable opportunity, the principal achievements of his long and industrious life.
