Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Bowdoin College Art Collections From his time to 1870 no critical work was done, at least none has been recorded, in the way of determining disputed matters of as cription or other open questions about the schools of painting or artists represented. In 1870 Professor Jotham B. Sewall, then curator, prepared and saw through the press a catalogue of the Bow doin College collection of paintings, adding to the description exist ing in manuscript many valuable notes which have been of great assistance in the preparation of the present catalogue. All the paint ings have been examined recently, and are found in several cases to furnish unmistakable external evidence as to the artists, such as sig natures, which had not been previously taken into account. The widow of the benefactor of the College, herself a Bowdoin bv birth, and subsequently wife of General Henry Dearborn, a former Secretary of War, added in 1826 a series of family portraits to this collection, which then numbered eighty-four Oil paintings. From the first the paintings have been highly appreciated here, but the best accommodation which the College in its early days could af ford was limited and not always adapted even to preserving the can vases. In 1826 President Allen and Professor Cleaveland were ap pointed by the trustees a committee to remove pictures from the closets in the gallery and to place them where they would be preserved from injury. The condition of the paintings in 1847 was such that the College voted to expend from its meager income the sum of two hundred dollars for their examination and preservation. Upon the advice of the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, the care Of restoring was entrusted to Mr. D. Chase and Mr. G. Haworth of Boston, whose labors when finished revealed to many for the first time the value of the collection. The cost of restoration proved to be over three times the amount of the sum appropriated, and in 1850 the sale of some of the paintings deemed improper for exhibition in this gallery was authorized to meet the unforeseen expense.

Book excerpt: Spanning a century from the introduction of electric light to the dawn of the Space Age, this first major survey of American night scenes by artists such as Winslow Homer, Georgia O'Keeffe, Andrew Wyeth, and Joseph Cornell proposes the central importance of nocturnal images in the development of modern art. This gorgeously illustrated book investigates how leading American artists of diverse aesthetic convictions responded in a range of media--including paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs--to the unique challenges of picturing the night. Retooling their palette and reconsidering their techniques, artists cherished the night as a time of heightened alertness and active imagination. Mysterious and provocative, the darkness was experienced as liberating, both on an aesthetic and personal level--allowing artists to become invisible, turn inward, and express personal truths in unique and poetic ways. Night Vision expands the conversation on American art and the rise of modernism, as it demonstrates how the theme of the night inspired artists who sought to leave behind established styles and traditions to better reflect the broader societal and technological shifts as well as a new understanding of the value of art as personal expression.
