Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Engravings for the people" a fresh appraisal of the printmakers Currier & Ives and their vision of America Currier & Ives was a powerhouse of 19th-century publishing and had an immeasurable influence on American visual culture. Founded in New York in 1834 by Nathaniel Currier, the company expanded to include a new partner, James Merritt Ives, after 1857. Currier & Ives produced millions of affordably priced copies of over 7,000 original lithographs, living up to its self-appointed title as "The Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints." The firm took advantage of New York City's booming arts culture in the latter half of the 19th century, but its output was not seen as fine art by critics, nor was it intended as such. Its prints were first and foremost commodities; the choice subjects often determined by popularity and sales figures. Currier & Ives perpetuated Victorian ideals in its depictions of family, history, politics and urban and suburban life. But these prints also served as an important record of a nation in the midst of an extraordinary transformation from a rural and agricultural landscape to an industrialized and urbanized global power. Along with their popular appeal, Currier & Ives's images offer a new opportunity to uncover the complexities and contradictions of our history and help shape our understanding of America's past.

Download or read book Alfred Currier written by Ted Lindberg and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively yet thoughtful sketch of Alfred Currier's evolution as an artist focuses on his career during the past decade, after he came to Skagit County in Washington State from the Midwest in 1992. Currier (b. 1943) regards this decade as his professional coming of age, the crystallization of a personal style and technique. His recurrent theme is the rendering of the Skagit Delta, particularly the blossoming of its famous tulip fields and the people that work them.Paintings of tulip, iris, and daffodil fields dominate, but there are everyday scenes of Anacortes and Skagit County--backyards, lanes, work areas, homesteads--and forays into figure studies, always locked into satisfying, airtight compositions. He also paints the occasional skyscape of seascape, addressing a radically different sense of fathomless space.Ted Lindberg has been an art museum curator and administrator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and California College of Arts and Crafts. He lives in Sooke, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Currier's collection of American art focuses on New England from colonial times through the twentieth century, with special emphasis on work unique to New Hampshire, such as furniture made by the Dunlap family and paintings by artists working in the White Mountains. . . Although individual objects have been lent frequently to other museums, this exhibition marks the first time that a large selection of masterworks from the permanent collection of the Currier has toured the nation. Organized with the American Federation of Arts to tour during the renovation of the Currier's landmark building, 'American Art from the Currier Gallery of Art' focuses on painting, sculpture, silver, pewter, glass, and furniture from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, just prior to America's embrace of modernism." -- Foreword.

Book excerpt: 19th Century Biographical Historical Fiction: Moving, Inspiring! In 1619, twelve years after 105 English settlers arrived in America and established a permanent settlement in James Towne, VA, a ship carrying about 50 Africans arrived at the settlement. When the ship departed, left behind and sold into slavery were more than 20 of these wretched souls. This event established the presence of Africans in America. By the time a young African girl--barely 12 or 13-years-old--was stolen, transported to America, and enslaved on a Charleston South Carolina plantation during the late 18th century the transatlantic slave trade had been operating for over 180 years. Her master renamed her "Charlotte". This 19th century historical fiction, set during the pre-Civil War period of the Antebellum South, is the story of one branch of Charlotte's progeny. This is a tale of a time when unimaginable savagery, unmitigated abuse, institutionalized racism, mental, physical and psychological tortures were common tools of punishment used by slave owners against the enslaved - young and old. This is also an inspiring tale of the tender love that bound an enslaved family together, and tells how the enslaved African Americans coped with their bondage to survive. It is a story of how--through an Underground Railroad system--courageous White abolitionists, Quakers, and people of goodwill broke the law to help fugitive slaves escape their bondage to find freedom in the North and Canada, aided by coded quilts and Negro spirituals. The fictional character, 88-year-old Thomas, grandson of the slave girl, Charlotte, tells this gripping and engaging story in a biographical narrative style reminiscent of Frederick Douglass's biography "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass". This exciting and educational work is rooted in actual historical events; the term for blending facts and fiction is "faction". This story is sure to inspire thoughtful discussions about this period of American history. It is suitable reading for adults and history lovers of all ages and will fit into an American History curriculum for teens, young adults, and junior college students. CWarring, Educator: "...although the use of coded quilts might be fictional, the many bits of factual information lend a great deal of historical relevance to the book." J.D. Peterson: "...beautifully written and obviously based on extensive research of pre-Civil War slavery in the Southern US" Dr. Benedette Ntinglet: "...transcends fiction as many parts of the story are based on facts... The writing is beautiful; the story is gripping and instructive...." Dr. Javaid Syed, Educator: "A beautiful and well-researched work of fiction... The story itself may be a work of fiction but there are many facts about that period of American history entwined in the story, with end notes and sources providing additional information for the reader." Giovanni Silvestri: "...This was such a good read I started it and couldn't put it down because I was so wrapped up in this book." Rozenia Carter-Sherman, Educator: "... I immediately saw the value of this book as additional reading for history, social science, or literature classes because the endnotes expand upon many of the events in the story."
