Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical Introduction to American Painting The true significance of this achievement can be understood only by approaching it from the other side in time. During the hundred and fifty years since Copley left this country several different tech nics have been imported and discarded, and all of them have been strikingly at variance with his. Such temporary fashions and a long inadequate accumulation of facts concerning colonial condi tions have given rise to an undue degree of deprecation, sometimes of depreciation, in what has been written about the tradition and equipment of the earliest portraitists. A more accurate sense of his tory will first direct attention to the inevitability of a lag, both in time and in quality, to all colonial cultures; and this initial empha sis will permit a fairer conception of the relative greatness of what was attained in colonial North America.

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 Thomas Moran written by Thurman Wilkins and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively revised edition of Thurman Wilkins’s masterful and engaging biography - well illustrated in color and black-and-white - draws on new information and recent scholarship to place Thomas Moran more securely in the milieu of the Gilded Age. It also portrays more fully the controversies that surrounded the art of Moran’s time, as he became "the Dean of American Painters." The American West was the subject of Thomas Moran’s greatest artistic triumphs - Yosemite, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Zion Canyon, the Virgin River, Colorado’s Mountain of the Holy Cross, and the Grand Tetons - but his travels with Ferdinand V. Hayden’s geological surveys of the Upper Yellowstone were matched by trips to his native Britain and to Venice, Florida, the Spanish Southwest, and Old Mexico. These scenes inspired memorable landscapes and seascapes, as did the sojourns of the Moran family in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and East Hampton, Long Island, when they retreated from the demands of the New York art scene. In the 1880s Moran and his artist wife, Mary Nimmo Moran, also threw themselves into the etching craze of the period, creating some of the finest prints produced in the United States. Moran was an artist happy in his work. He wrote, "I have always held that the grandest, most beautiful, or wonderful in nature, would, in capable hands, make the grandest, most beautiful, or wonderful pictures." The New York Times said of the first edition of this unique account of his life, "Moran’s mastery comes through clearly and awesomely and often, pleasurably." Readers will find the new edition equally enjoyable.
