Book excerpt: Excerpt from Works of Art in the United States Capitol Building: Including Biographies of the Artists For the purpose of preserving in convenient form historical data relating to the artists whose works have been given a place in the United States Capitol, this compilation has been prepared. So far as possible the biographies included have been obtained from the artists represented or from their relatives. In instances where information has not been obtainable from such sources, it has been secured from various art publications, biographies found in other works, from the records in the Capitol, and from statements of persons having a personal acquaintance with the artists represented. In no instance has a comparative estimate of the relative standing of the artists been attempted. Such comparison belongs to the purposes of art criticism. A subject so largely dependent upon personal opinion is not properly included in the intent of this compilation. It may not, however, be out of place to make some reference to the works of art in the United States Capitol. The collection includes portraits by John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, Gilbert Stuart, Chester Harding, Charles Willson Peale, Thomas Sully, Rembrandt Peale, John Vanderlyn, Ary Scheffer, John Neagle, and John Singer Sargent. Among historical painters are works by John Trumbull, John Vanderlyn, Robert W. Weir, W. H. Powell, J. G. Chapman, Seth Eastman, James Walker, and A. G. Heaton. Landscape painters are represented by examples of the work of Bierstadt and Moran; allegorical and decorative painters by works of Constantino Brumidi, Emanuel Leutze, and Filippo Costaggini.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fire destroyed Missouri's capitol in 1911, voters approved a bond issue to construct a new statehouse. The tax to pay the bonds produced a one-million-dollar surplus, leaving a vast amount of money to decorate the new building. A special commission of art-minded Missourians employed some of the nation's leading painters and sculptors to create powerful and often huge pieces of art to adorn Missouri's most important new structure. The art of the Missouri capitol was considered among the finest to adorn any state capitol. But the passage of time has lessened recognition of the pieces and their creators. Most people--even those daily wandering the marble halls--have little knowledge of the significance of the art and the history it portrays. Bob Priddy and Jeffrey Ball return the capitol's decorations to prominence in The Art of the Missouri Capitol: History in Canvas, Bronze, and Stone. The book tells the many stories behind the art: the rigors of its creation, the political roadblocks that endangered the decoration program, and the triumph of the commissioners who devoted more than ten years to the project. The Art of the Missouri Capitol presents the art in 270 images, many by Lloyd Grotjan, mostly of the building's many compelling paintings, murals, and sculptures. Priddy, a journalist who has covered the Missouri legislature for more than three decades, and Ball, an art historian, use a wealth of historical materials to connect the grand design of the capitol decorations with accounts of sometimes temperamental artists and meddling politicians. The authors provide historical and artistic context to explain the many surprising, controversial choices the artists made, and they use Missouri history to explain the tales depicted in the artwork, revealing the events--and inaccuracies--that the paintings bring to life. The authors honor the Missouri capitol's artistic excellence in a way that will appeal to art enthusiasts and history buffs as well as to general readers. The Art of the Missouri Capitol: History in Canvas, Bronze, and Stone is the definitive account of the art's creation, of the men who produced it, and of the Missourians who lived the history that inspired it.
