Download or read book The Material Culture of German Texans written by Kenneth Hafertepe and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2019 San Antonio Conservation Society Foundation Book Award, sponsored by the San Antonio Conservation Society Foundation German immigrants of the nineteenth century left a distinctive mark on the lifestyles and vernacular architecture of Texas. In this first comprehensive survey of the art and artifacts of German Texans, Kenneth Hafertepe explores how their material culture was influenced by their European roots, how it was adapted to everyday life in Texas, and how it changed over time—at different rates in different communities. The Material Culture of German Texans is about the struggle to become American while maintaining a distinctive cultural identity drawn from German heritage. Including materials from rural, small town, and urban settings, this masterful study covers pioneer generations in East Texas and the Hill Country, but also follows the story into the Victorian era and the early twentieth century. Houses and their furnishings, churches and cemeteries, breweries and businesses, and paintings and engravings fill the pages of this thorough, informative, and richly illustrated volume. Recent decades have seen a sharp increase of the study of vernacular architecture (which can range from traditional building to ethnic expressions to landscape ensembles) and an intensified study of American furniture and other decorative arts. Incorporating these vernacular and decorative arts methods and building on the works of cultural geographers, curators, and historians, The Material Culture of German Texans offers a definitive contribution that will inform visitors to the region as well as those who study its history and culture.
Download or read book A Cultural History of Furniture in the Age of Empire and Industry written by Catherine L. Futter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 19th century in Western culture was a time of both confidence and turbulence. Industrial developments resulted in a number of benefits from a growing middle class to efficiency, convenience and innovation across a range of fields from engineering to architecture. Alongside these improvements, the century began with the extended period of the Napoleonic Wars and was further disrupted by rebellions and revolutions both within Europe and in India, South America and other parts of the world. Slavery was abolished and urbanization increased dramatically. These myriad developments were reflected throughout the period in the proliferation of types of furniture, along with their categorization as 'industrial art' at the international exhibitions and world fairs and the increasingly adventurous range of materials that were sometimes used in their construction. Nonetheless, a strong antiquarian/historicist strand also prompted interest in the revival of past styles in areas of art and design, including furniture. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume presents essays that examine key characteristics of the furniture of the period on the themes of Design and Motifs; Makers, Making, and Materials; Types and Uses; The Domestic Setting; The Public Setting; Exhibition and Display; Furniture and Architecture; Visual Representations; and Verbal Representations.
Download or read book Fredensborg Royal Palace written by Henriette Linnemann and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fredensborg Slot blev bygget som jagtslot for Frederik 4. i 1722 af hofarkitekt I.C. Krieger og har siden dannet ramme om både dagligliv og store begivenheder i Kongehuset. Her holdes bryllups-, sølvbryllups- og fødselsdagsfester, her modtages gæster fra alverdens lande, og dronning Margrethe og hendes familie tilbringer forår og efterår på slottet. Dronning Margrethe har udført et omfattende arbejde med at føre slottet tilbage til den oprindelige indretning, mens prins Henrik indrettede sine private gemakker i en mere global og franskinspireret stil. Vi kommer også ind i de private arbejdsværelser og stuer, som aldrig har været vist før, og dronning Margrethe har en vigtig stemme i bogen, når hun fortæller om, hvordan statsoverhoveder ridser deres navnetræk ind i slottets glasruder med en diamant, og hvordan hun og prins Henrik spiste frokost i Lille Barokspisestue og tilbragte aftenerne i Frederik 4.s Rum. [5 hjerter] "Det er et prægtigt værk, som J. Henriette Linnemann har skabt om Fredensborg Slot." Lars Hedebo Olsen, Politiken [5 stjerner] "Linnemann gennemfører et detaljernes skoleridt, men får det føjet sammen til et festfyrværkeri over en dansk kunst- og kulturhistorie, hvor der også bliver tid til et "besøg" i privaten." Flemming Østergaard, Jyllands-Posten "Fotografierne er enestående, præcise og velgennemtænkte; de understøtter bogens originale fortælling. Værket handler om stilsættelse, styling; hvordan ting skal tage sig ud, og hvordan man opnår det ønskede helhedsindtryk." Anne Knudsen, Weekendavisen
