D'Anvers was originally created for the sole purpose of expanding the fine art education of the people of America and England. Faced with her personal experience of standing by while "great ignorance prevailed amongst the general public as to the technical and intellectual history of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting," D'Anvers became resolute in her determination to advance cultural literacy. This perceived flaw in fine art education compelled her to create a book intended to expand on the subject of art and illuminate her readers' minds. The popularity of D'Anvers book is obvious not only in the multitude of people familiar with it but also with the number of reprints/editions the general public have requested over time. A wonderful resource for anyone interested in art and art history, this book presents a well-spring of information to enlighten even a novice art enthusiast. The book contains articles for a wide variety of subjects and presents a glossary of terms early into the text to prepare readers for terminology they will come across in the text. The book also hosts a wonderful array of illustrations to help further the reader's understanding of art and increase their cultural literacy. An Elementary History of Art: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting eagerly encompasses N. D'Anvers goal of educating the public on all things art. D'Anvers single-handedly achieved her goal to emphasize the importance of art in culture with this publication, a feat not easily obtained but one that has helped to promote the education and preservation of art.

Download or read book Elementary History of Art written by N. D'Anvers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary History of Art: An Introduction to Ancient and Modern Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Music With art the case is different. It is a revival and not a fresh growth which we are witnessing. Without disparaging the artists of the present century, it is in disputable that, with the exception of music and to some extent of landscape, they have in no case carried the arts so far as they had already advanced at earlier periods of their history. The arts have revived because a time of prolonged peace and the accumulation of great wealth have given to many of the rich the leisure and means to surround themselves with objects of re finement and luxury; while the marvellous Spread of illustrated publications, and the increased facilities for travelling and observing the buildings and pictures with which the older countries of Europe teem, have tended to rouse among all ranks of the community an interest in works Of art. The present movement is essentially a popular one. It is not headed, like the scientific movement, by the foremost men of the day, with all their acuteness and knowledge stimulated to the full. It has rather taken its rise among those who are but ill-informed on artistic subjects, and therefore stand peculiarly in need of guidance and instruction. Nothing could consequently be more appropriate to the wants of the day than the publication of works. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in Modern Architecture The works of art are divided into chapters according to materials, but this somewhat arbitrary catalog device is merely a convenience in groupmg the illustrations, and there are many overlapping cases where entire build ings should be considered as an entity. Using materials as a basis for grouping the examples does not mean that materials are considered the most important factor in architectural art. The examples might just as well have been separated according to building types; or they might have been separated according to building elements such as interior and exterior walls, columns, doorways, windows, ceilings, oors, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Hand-Book; Sculpture, Architecture, Painting: Official Handbook of Architecture and Sculpture and Art Catalogue to the Pan-American Exposition The act of Congress providing for a federal building and exhibit at the pan-american Exposition states that it is desirable to encourage the holding of the Exposition to fittingly illustrate the marvelous development of the west ern hemisphere during the nineteenth century by a display of the arts, indus tries, manufactures, and products of the soil, mines, and sea. The joint reso lation of Congress previously adopted declared that this development was to be illustrated by a demonstration of the reciprocal relations existing between the American Republics and Colonies. In these declarations the real object of the Exposition was comprehensively ex pressed at the outset, and it has been kept steadily in View. It is clearly re vealed in every feature of the Expo sition: in the architectural scheme, suggestive of the history of so much of this hemisphere; in the restriction of the exhibits to its resources, indus tries, products, inventions, arts, and ideas and in the active participation of practically all of its peoples and coun tries. To have brought all of those peoples together for the first time in the accomplishment of such an object is the crowning achievement of the Exposition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Philosophical and Critical History of the Fine Arts, Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, Vol. 1 of 4 Sire, A history of the Fine Arts, making it's appearance in this age, can look up to no other character on the earth, at whose feet it may throw itself so properly and so confidently for protection as before your Majesty. In all the other sovereignties, and in all other countries, of the world, we only see the relics of that patronage, of those schools, and of those arts, which were once so animated, and so proudly brilliant. Yet it is not merely by succession that your Majesty now stands at the head of these. Their fame was never higher in the modern world than that which is now their claim in this country; and that fame is wholly the growth of your own reign. How old soever may have been the history of those footsteps, by which they have been marked in Great Britain, the history of their elegance and refined spirit is comprized within the compass of that period, which has given the generous and amiable influence of your Majesty's exemplary mind to spread it's general ornament over these kingdoms.
