Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Artist's Point of View, Embraced in a Series of Letters on Landscape Painting and Kindred Topics Of those underlying principles of art, whatever knowledge I have has been ac quired by studying carefully the best as well as the worst efforts of recognized artists, and through the reading of good books treating of art, along with that which may have come to me during a limited course of academic studies in drawing. To acquire any sort of proficiency in draughtsmanship, you should if possible attend a regular art school for a year or two at least; if unable to do this, then do the best you can without it. It goes without saying that the careful study of all grades of pictures, more especially of good ones, and the perusal of books on art, must prove beneficial to the young painter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arthur Atkins: Extracts From the Letters With Notes on Painting and Landscape; Written During the Period of His Work as a Painter in the Last Two Years of His Life; 1896 1898 For the friends of Arthur Atkins, these extracts from his letters, from the notes writ ten upon the margins of his sketches, will have a real and touching value. They will recall for them, his talk, his interests, the lovely charm of the serious and noble friend they knew. For those to whom he was unknown, the pages may reveal something of the sensi tive mind and heart of the artist: his response to the beauty and dignity of the visible world. The publication rests upon the desire of his associates, to supplement the pictures with whatever remains as a record of his gifts obscured as these gifts were, by the circum stances of life, by the last sad circumstance of death in early manhood.

Download or read book Nine Letters on Landscape Painting written by Carl Gustav Carus and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869)--court physician to the king of Saxony--was a naturalist, amateur painter, and theoretician of landscape painting whose Nine Letters on Landscape Painting is an important document of early German romanticism and an elegant appeal for the integration of art and science. Carus was inspired by and had contacts with the greatest German intellectuals of his day. Carus prefaced his work with a letter from his correspondence with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was his primary mentor in both science and art. His writings also reflect, however, the influence of the German natural philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, especially Schelling's notion of a world soul, and the writings of the naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Carus played a role in the revolution in landscape painting taking place in Saxony around Caspar David Friedrich. The first edition appears here in English for the first time.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Painting in Oil Colours, Explained in Letters on the Theory and Practice of the Art, and Illustrated by Examples From the Several Schools IN giving a series of letters to the public, embracing a course of study confined principally to the subject of Landscape Painting, I perhaps ought to apologize for their brevity, investigating as they do the rudiments and practical working of a large field of endless variety. The apology I have to offer is a consciousness that words cannot make clear principles and peculiarities more particularly addressed to the eye, and I have therefore contented myself with drawing the student's attention to those points, both in pictures and natural imagery, on which his taste and practice must be founded. The favour my other works on the various branches of painting have found, gives me a certain confidence that this elementary book will be received with a kindly spirit. My object has been to engraft theory upon practice, as all written knowledge upon the subject must be of little avail without the means of carrying it out into practical results. I have, there fore, not only commenced with considering the subject in separate portions, but some of the details on which I have dwelt are of the humblest and most familiar character; for a trifling weed will frequently contain the highest elements of the art - breadth, richness of form, and a true proportion of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of American Landscape IN the following discursive pages the author has taken a brief, but he hopes an intelligent, glimpse at the varying characteristics of the beautiful natural scenery of our country. It has been his endeavour, throughout, SO to relieve the gravity of fact With the gracerof fiction, as to present at the same time an in structive topography and an entertaining romance. The better to accomplish this difficult end, he has assem bled around him a company of accomplished and genial travellers, Who discuss the subject familiarly in all its phases, each from his own peculiar stand-point and after his own individuality. It is not necessary that the reader be here presented to these gentlemen, Since they Will shake him by the hand, and tell him What manner of men they are, in the first chapter, - Which subserves the usual mile of a preface, but is too much an integral and important part of the narrative to be.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Samuel Palmer, Painter and Etcher About ten years ago, when I was writing a short memoir of my father, it occurred to me that a companion volume of his letters might be published. I knew that many of these were preserved by his friends, and esteemed not only on account of regard for the writer, but for what was thought considerable originality. Yet I was not prepared for the extent of the collection which was most courteously placed at my disposal, carrying with it, by virtue of its very existence, the evidence of some merit. The publication of the volume was postponed; but the delay was by no means unfortunate, inasmuch as it gave me leisure to sift the material and reject that which was unsuitable, while applying myself, at the same time, to a closer and more unprejudiced study of my father's life. There being an analogy between writing dashed off, for the most part, without the slightest thought of publicity, or of literary precision, and rapid sketches from nature done with a purpose and a will, I thought there would be as much danger in tampering in the one case as there always is in the other, and that it would be best to leave the selected letters to stand or fall on their own merits, without the manipulation such collections have sometimes received. Nevertheless I deemed it well to omit passages that were of no interest whatever except to my father's correspondents, the omissions being indicated in the usual way. A few explanatory comments were necessary; but I compressed these within the narrowest possible bounds. I was unable to fill up the gap between the years 1839 and 1848, having no letters of any interest at my disposal written within that period. Should any such exist I should be grateful for the loan of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He has not overweighted his book with detail, nor has be given us scrappy quotations from his letters; the blend is an easy narrative Of Constable's life, his cares, his ambitions, his failures and his successes, which gives the reader a very clear idea Of the personality Of this man who exercised so great an influence upon the landscape-painting of the nineteenth century. This work was my main source Of information until the private letters used by Leslie, letters from Constable to Archdeacon Fisher, to Mr. George Constable, to Dunthorne, and also letters from his mother and sisters, and his brother Abram to himself, fell into my hands.

No. IX.--A Talk In The Billiard-room. I PROMISED I would give you something like a report of one of the discussions that take place at night in the billiard-room during our annual visit to Wales. I fear I shall not be able to recall any particular night, therefore you must be content with a "blot" or "impressionist memory" of several. A smoking chat, well mixed with chaff, is not easily reportable or profitably readable, so I will omit a good deal that may not be interesting or teach you anything. White: Our photographer was painting today; how did he get on? Black: I was much complimented by the miller, who takes an acute interest in art. His great desire is, he says, to go to London to see all the pictures in the Tower. He had never seen me painting before, and it gave him great satisfaction. He said in his best AngloCambrian, "Ah! you do do them by hand, too. It is well when a man can turn his hand to anything. You do yours by machine mostly, and can make many, but it takes the other gentleman a long time to do them by hand!" White: Ante up the product. Black: There is the interesting and valuable result. Speak your mind, Brown, you are a great painter; but as is often the case with great painters, now-a-days, you don't know much about art, but we will take your opinion on the smudgery part of it. Brown: Oh! I can't be bothered with such juvenile efforts. You ought never to waste good oil-colors. Turn it upside down and begin another if--and only if--you can't find something better to do. But why do you bother yourself with paint? Black: Eliger Goff says, "When a man forgets his first mother it's time for him to be born again," and this is not the first time I have painted. Gray: The Renaissance was a healthy time for art. Black: The...
