Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Sculpture Much that might properly occur in the preface of this book will be found in its opening chapter. I there set out. The ground to be covered, and define the point of view from which I have treated my facts. These few remarks will, accordingly, be addressed to any who may think that a work bearing the title A History of Sculpture requires a word of introduction. My justification for the title and, indeed, for the work as a whole, is that I have not attempted to write a new text-book. In my view, all great art is essentially national art. It can therefore only be understood in the light of national and international history. For this reason, I have given much more attention to the artistic interpreta tion of historical events and social circumstances than most historians of the arts have deemed necessary. Throughout I have written from the standpoint of one who believes that the great schools of sculpture were created, not by individuals of genius, but by the peoples to whom they appealed. A work written on these lines can fairly claim to be A History of Sculpture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of American Sculpture No more composite nation than the United States has existed in modern times. The influx of foreign elements has been enormous; yet, despite the varied antecedents and the wide affinities of the American people, our language remains English and our traditions (such as exist) are and always have been English. In matters of religion and law, the inheritance was adequate, and familiar princi ples were readily harmonized with a new environment. In our literature, likewise, the ancestral traditions have been positive and potent; but in regard to the other fine arts they have been negative, though not less significant, since they explain, in large measure, the unpromising conditions amid which our national art was cradled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Museum of Fine Arts Boston: Manual of Italian Renaissance Sculpture One'of the wider problems of the history of fine art is that of its intermittent development. Why has no sculptor of the foremost rank appeared in Italy since Michel Angelo, and why, when Michel Angelo lived, was Raphael also living? May genius be a matter of the heredity of a whole people, or is it occasion only that is lacking in times of artistic depression Why should not art flourish with a measurable continuity Why should it always blossom and decay?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks on Sculpture In pursuing her work, Miss Brinkhaus has always used sculpture, not because she does not believe in pictures, but because she believes in teaching the child the beautiful in form. Commenting on the plan, one of the members of the Chicago Board of Education, a lady who had made a special study of art in the best schools of Europe, said: The presence and the study of sculpture in the schools, not only develops the artistic sense of the pupils and refines their ideals and instincts, but also has a power to impart psychologic insight. When I was in the Paris schools, we were impressed with the fact that the expression of character was the first and most important thing in the study of sculpture. In gazing on the outlines of the sculptured face the young child gradually grows into an understanding of the emotions which are there given form, and thus learns a valuable lesson in the reading of human character. The following is an abstract from a letter received by the Chicago Record Herald from a well-known person in Chicago. Aside from the great historical value, there is another value still greater those weary, overworked young minds taxed to their very utmost in the comprehension of dull studies (for many seem dull to the struggling young mind) all rise as though one, and with an actual cry of joy, seize a study they can grasp, for its beauty has entered through their eyesight, and not through weary words coming to tired brains. And its mission will be proven in the child's later work. At last they know why many studies must be mastered if they ever are to be proficient in one. The child who has grasped the mathematics and grammar of art can never degenerate from the principles of truth and sincerity in his own life's work, no matter what work it is. In connection with the many weeks of work in Chicago, Miss Brinkhaus had the good fortune to persuade Lorado Taft, Chicago's most distinguished sculp tor, to write a series of articles on sculpture. He was asked to write them in a way interesting for children, not above their heads, and yet old enough for the grown-ups. Mr. Taft was given a list of fifty Or more subjects of the casts given by the Chicago record-herald to' the schools of Chicago. Pressure of work did not permit him to write more than twenty-five articles, and these appeared from time to time in the Chicago record-herald, earning the well-deserved praise of old and young.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Handbook of Italian Sculpture In preparing this volume for the press from materials already made use of in a larger work on the same subject, and from those which have been added to the common stock of informa tion since its publication, I have thought it best to speak of Pre-revival sculpture throughout Italy in an introductory chapter, and to begin the work - proper with the Revival. After that era, as the personality of the sculptor becomes more and more pronounced, biographical materials increase, until in the case of such representative men as Michelangelo little remains to be discovered. Modern research is however constantly active in the pursuit of fresh information, so that we can never con sider what we know at any given time as final, but the historian can do no more than avail himself of present acquisitions, and this I have endeavoured to do.

Download or read book A History of Greek Sculpture Vol 2 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Alexander Stuart Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greek Sculpture, Vol. 2 of 2 IT may be that an acquaintance with the personality of an artist, does not promote in the end a true judgment of his work. But we cannot deny that it has often furnished the pages of the historian with charm and vivacity. The History of Greek Sculpture presents no such opportunity. It has no Lives to beguile the student along an arduous path. Only here and there an incident, handed down on mostly a dubious authority, breaks the narrative of work done and the examination of what remains of it to our day. The sculptors of ancient Greece seem to have lost themselves in their art, and this might have been a less misfortune for us, if it also had not since their time disappeared in a great measure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Tendencies in Sculpture The most ancient and enduring of the arts has, like all things human, its fashions. Styles come and go in the sculptor's studio as in the millinery shops. Someone has said of literature: Each period must have its weed like crop in order that a few memorable products may triumphantly survive the moment which gives them birth. This is not less true of the other forms of expression. In the story of France, Gothic art succeeded the Romanesque and gave way in due course before the insinuating appeal of the Italian Renaissance. This new gift of the South, transplanted to Gallic soil, developed unforeseen qualities Of adaptability and delighted the world with its charm, only to fade in turn before Italy's third invasion, that wave of classicism which, in spite of Houdon, left the banner of Canova fluttering over every stronghold. The mighty Rude, halting ever, between two opin ions but producing a national masterpiece, was followed by his fiery disciple, Carpeaux, who set all the new monu ments of Paris awhirl. Against this increasing agitation, this gathering of pedestaled dervishes, the serene sculpture Of Paul Dubois and Chapu made in vain its dignified protest; henceforth it was a mad race to see who could be the most startling and vehement.
