Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Pictures, as Seen and Described by Famous Writers My task has not been a light one. A few words of rapturous admiration are constantly to be met with in the pages of art-lovers, but a sympathetic study of a single work is rarely found. General comment of a given artist's work is also plentiful, while discriminating praise of individual canvases is scanty. The literary selection has, therefore, involved a great deal of research.

Download or read book Famous Works of Art And How They Got That Way written by John Nici and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world filled with great museums and great paintings, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the reigning queen. Her portrait rules over a carefully designed salon, one that was made especially for her in a museum that may seem intended for no other purpose than to showcase her virtues. What has made this portrait so renowned, commanding such adoration? And what of other works of art that continue to enthrall spectators: What makes the Great Sphinx so great? Why do iterations of The Scream and American Gothic permeate nearly all aspects of popular culture? Is it because of the mastery of the artists who created them? Or can something else account for their popularity? In Famous Works of Art—And How They Got That Way, John B. Nici looks at twenty well-known paintings, sculptures, and photographs that have left lasting impressions on the general public. As Nici notes, there are many reasons why works of art become famous; few have anything to do with quality. The author explains why the reputations of some creations have grown over the years, some disproportionate to their artistic value. Written in a style that is both entertaining and informative, this book explains how fame is achieved, and ultimately how a work either retains that fame, or passes from the public consciousness. From ancient artifacts to a can of soup, this book raises the question: Did the talent to promote and publicize a work exceed the skills employed to create that object of worship? Or are some masterpieces truly worth the admiration they receive? The creations covered in this book include the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Raphael’s Sistine Madonna, El Greco’s The Burial of Count Orgaz, Rodin’s The Thinker, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Picasso’s Guernica. Featuring more than sixty images, including color reproductions, Famous Works of Art—And How They Got That Way will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered if a great painting, sculpture, or photograph, really deserves to be called “great.”
Download or read book Modern Paintings as Seen and Described by Great Writers written by Esther Singleton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Paintings as Seen and Described by Great Writers To present in a book of this size a gallery of modern paintings that would be entirely satisfactory is manifestly impossible, for it is needless to remind the reader that painting in the Nineteenth Century has undergone so many phases and developments that it would be out of the question even to include a specimen of every important school, much less to represent every famous master. When we survey French Art, for example, from the days of Gros and David to those of Manet, Monet and Degas, or American Art from the days of Copley, West and Stuart to those of Abbey, Whistler and Sargent, the field is indeed crowded with figures. It would be interesting to wander into Russia, Austria, Hungary, Scandinavia, Italy and Spain and exhibit what the artists of the Nineteenth Century have done and what of their work is individual and what has been inspired by the Spirit of the Age. Space, however, insists that we hang here only some of the most striking and famous pictures of the century that has just drawn to a close, and represent only painters who have enjoyed the greatest vogue, who have been founders of schools, or who are ever growing in popular estimation, like Alfred Stevens, for example.
