Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dakota Sioux artist Mary Sully was the great-granddaughter of respected nineteenth-century portraitist Thomas Sully, who captured the personalities of America’s first generation of celebrities (including the figure of Andrew Jackson immortalized on the twenty-dollar bill). Born on the Standing Rock reservation in South Dakota in 1896, she was largely self-taught. Steeped in the visual traditions of beadwork, quilling, and hide painting, she also engaged with the experiments in time, space, symbolism, and representation characteristic of early twentieth-century modernist art. And like her great-grandfather Sully was fascinated by celebrity: over two decades, she produced hundreds of colorful and dynamic abstract triptychs, a series of “personality prints” of American public figures like Amelia Earhart, Babe Ruth, and Gertrude Stein. Sully’s position on the margins of the art world meant that her work was exhibited only a handful of times during her life. In Becoming Mary Sully, Philip J. Deloria reclaims that work from obscurity, exploring her stunning portfolio through the lenses of modernism, industrial design, Dakota women’s aesthetics, mental health, ethnography and anthropology, primitivism, and the American Indian politics of the 1930s. Working in a complex territory oscillating between representation, symbolism, and abstraction, Sully evoked multiple and simultaneous perspectives of time and space. With an intimate yet sweeping style, Deloria recovers in Sully’s work a move toward an anti-colonial aesthetic that claimed a critical role for Indigenous women in American Indian futures—within and distinct from American modernity and modernism.

Rockefeller 3rd during the 1960s and 1970s constitutes one of the great private collections of historic American painting. This book examines the collection in depth, focusing on 140 works donated to The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in the years since 1979." "The works reproduced include examples from America's foremost realist masters. Among them are portraits by John Singleton Copley and Charles Willson Peale; landscapes by Thomas Cole, Frederic E. Church, and Martin Johnson Heade; George Caleb Bingham's extraordinary Boatmen on the Missouri; one of Edward Hick's most ambitious treatments of The Peaceable Kingdom; watercolors, drawings, and an early Civil War oil by Winslow Homer; and works by Eastman Johnson, Thomas Anshutz, John Frederick Peto, Grant Wood, Charles Sheeler, and Andrew Wyeth." "Each work is reproduced here in full color. The accompanying texts, comprised of extracts from contemporary accounts by artists, critics, patrons, and sitters, are lively and illuminating guides to understanding each work's history and significance. A detailed history of ownership and public exhibition and a selected bibliography are also provided for each painting. In many cases, this is the first time these important materials have appeared in print." "The fascinating introductory essay examines the context of the Rockefellers' collecting, the directions they considered in forming the collection, their increasing sense of responsibility toward it, and factors they considered in its disposition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book American Portrait Miniatures in the Manney Collection written by Dale T. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miniature portraits of family members and sweethearts were valued possessions before the advent of photography. They were as highly prized as full-size portraits in oil, and frequently they took as long to produce. Miniatures were meticulously painted in watercolor on ivory, a difficult medium that demanded considerable technical mastery. When completed they were set in decorative cases that enabled them to be worn as jewelry or placed on display. The American tradition of miniature painting, like that of full-size portraiture, was adapted from European models, particularly English painting of the Rococo period. However, portraits painted in this country emphasize the individuality of the sitter with a penetrating realism that is characteristically American. Some of America's best-known artists painted miniatures, among them John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, George Catlin, Thomas Sully, and Henry Inman. Other talented painters were miniaturists exclusively; miniature portraits by James Peale, John Ramage, Edward Greene Malbone, Benjamin Trott, Sarah Goodridge, Thomas Seir Cummings, Nathaniel Rogers, and a host of others were in great demand. Itinerant miniaturists possessing an entire range of skills plied their trade all across the young nation. In Richard and Gloria Manney's superb collection of over three hundred miniatures, almost every noted American miniaturist who painted between 1750 and 1850 is represented. An unusually large proportion of the miniatures are signed or documented. Remarkable for its comprehensiveness and high quality, the collection will be fascinating to the general observer and an ideal subject for the student of American portraiture. This catalogue presents a great deal of new material based on careful study of the miniatures and extensive research into the conditions surrounding their production. Many of the miniatures have been newly attributed. A full biography is included for every known miniaturist represented in the collection. Each miniature is catalogued with a physical description, an illustration at actual size, and a discussion that whenever possible includes information about the subject of the portrait. One third of the miniatures are also illustrated in color. In an introductory essay, Dale T. Johnson, author of the catalogue, traces the development of miniature painting in America, elucidating the relationship between American and European approaches and describing the growth of the art in different regions of the United States. An essay bv conservator Carol Aiken brings together a wealth of information on the technique of miniatures. The catalogue contains full references and a selected bibliography.
