Book Delphi Complete Paintings of Georges Seurat  Illustrated

Download or read book Delphi Complete Paintings of Georges Seurat Illustrated written by Peter Russell and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder of the nineteenth century French school of Neo-Impressionism, Georges Seurat devised the technique of Pointillism, portraying the play of light with tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colours. A man of studious habits and a scientific mind, Seurat employed his original technique to create huge compositions with tiny, detached strokes of pure colour too small to be distinguished when looking at the entire work, though when viewed from a distance, shimmered with brilliance. In spite of his short life, he left behind him an incredible body of work that would have a lasting impact on the history of modern art. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.

This book was released on 2020-05-02 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important northern Italian artist of the early Renaissance, Andrea Mantegna was a student of Roman archaeology and the son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini. A pioneering master of perspective, Mantegna used pictorial devices such as extreme foreshortening, lowering the horizon to create greater monumentality and rendering his figures as more rounded and modelled, with Donatellian naturalism. His masterpieces are renowned for their minute attention to detail, rendering rocky and metallic landscapes with a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting. His paintings were highly sought after by Europe’s royal houses, while Dürer, Rubens and Rembrandt are just a few of the artists that copied and learnt from his works.

Book Delphi Complete Paintings of Kazimir Malevich  Illustrated

Download or read book Delphi Complete Paintings of Kazimir Malevich Illustrated written by Kazimir Malevich and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2020-12-13 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the Russian modernist Kazimir Malevich had a profound influence on the development of abstract art in the twentieth century. He developed his own art movement, Suprematism, which sought a form of expression away from the world of natural forms and subject matter, accessing the supremacy of pure feeling and spirituality. Malevich worked in a variety of styles, assimilating the movements of Impressionism, Symbolism, Fauvism and Cubism. Gradually simplifying his style, he developed an approach consisting of pure geometric forms and their relationships to one another, set against minimal backgrounds. Many art historians now regard Malevich as the first prominent artist to exhibit paintings composed entirely of abstract geometrical elements. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Malevich’s complete paintings in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Paintings of Nicolas Poussin Illustrated written by Nicolas Poussin and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth century painter Nicolas Poussin founded the French Classical tradition, working the majority of his career in Rome. He specialised in history paintings, depicting scenes from the Bible, ancient history, and mythology, which are notable for their narrative clarity and dramatic force. Poussin was a man of contrasts; sensual, yet austere and intellectual, prizing reason, order and dispassion above all else. His art is a reconciliation and synthesis of these traits, setting an example of what would become the standard for a long tradition of academic art, continuing until the end of the nineteenth century. His influence was far-reaching, winning the approval of the Neoclassical masters, the Post-Impressionists and even modernists like Pablo Picasso. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.

Book excerpt: The Father of English painting, William Hogarth aspired to an art that would engage and delight ordinary citizens, rather than educated connoisseurs and critics, whom he despised.

This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chief exponent of French Neoclassical painting in the mid-nineteenth century, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres is noted for his cool, meticulously drawn works, representing the stylistic antithesis of the contemporary Romantic school. As a monumental history painter, Ingres sought to perpetuate the classical tradition of Raphael and Poussin, though today it is his portraits that are recognised as his greatest legacy. The extraordinary clarity of expression and microscopic detail of his work, rendered at a consistently, almost unbelievable quality won him many admirers.

Book Delphi Complete Works of George Washington Cable  Illustrated

Download or read book Delphi Complete Works of George Washington Cable Illustrated written by George Washington Cable and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2024-04-24 with total page 3593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Washington Cable was an American author and reformer, noted for his stories dealing with Creole life in his native New Orleans. His early novels sought to recapture the picturesque times of the old French-Spanish city, while employing a realism that was new to Southern fiction. His works are characterised by freshness and charm, with a force of moral conviction. Although Cable was the son of slaveholders and fought in the Confederate cavalry, he saw slavery and attempts to deny freedmen full public rights as moral wrongs. He produced powerful essays and lectures, urging the cause of black rights in the face of violent abuse in the Southern press. Now regarded as the most important Southern writer of the late nineteenth century, Cable and his work would pave the way for the achievements of William Faulkner. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Cable’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Delphi Complete Poetical Works of George Crabbe  Illustrated

Download or read book Delphi Complete Poetical Works of George Crabbe Illustrated written by George Crabbe and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 2562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last of the Augustan poets, following Dryden and Pope in the use of the heroic couplet, George Crabbe was an important literary figure of the early nineteenth century. Lord Byron famously described him as “nature’s sternest painter, yet the best.” Esteemed by the Romantics as a rebel against the genteel fancy of his day, Crabbe pleaded for the poet’s right to describe the commonplace realities and miseries of human life. He is best known for his early use of the realistic narrative form and his detailed descriptions of middle and working-class life, which is unsentimental in its portrayal.

He spent most of his life enslaved in a North Carolina plantation, until Union troops reached the state in 1865. His three volumes of poetry cover a wide range of subjects in a variety of styles.
