Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ideals and Tendencies of Modern Art Fortunately, Materialism as a whole has its wave limit and its receding, after which a forward movement of another kind is in order. Could we rise to the highest outlook, the steady alternation of the spiritual and the inner or basic material probably would be seen therefrom as the preserver of balance in a world not of angels, but of mortals compounded of fire and clay, of soul and body.

Download or read book Modern Painting written by William Huntington Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painting: Its Tendency and Meaning In stripping art of its intriguing charm and its soothing vagueness it is not my intention to do away with its power to delight. To the contrary, I believe that only by relieving paint ing of its dead cargo of literature, archaeology and illustration can it be made to function freely. Painting should be as pure an art as music, and the struggles of all great painters have been toward that goal. Its medium colour - is as elemental as sound, and when properly presented (with the same scientific exactness as the harmonies of the tone-gamut) it is fully as capable of engendering aesthetic emotion as is music. Our delight in music, no matter how primitive, is not dependent on an imitation of natural sounds. Music's pleas urable significance is primarily intelleétual. So can painting, by its power to create emotion and not mere sensation, provoke deep zesthetic feeling of a far greater intensity than the delight derived from transcription and drama. Modern painting strives toward the heightening of emo tional ecstasy; and my esthétique is intended to pave the way for an appreciation of art which will make possible the reception of that ecstasy. With this object ever in view I have weighed the painting of the last century, and have judged it solely by its ability or inability to call forth a profound aesthetic emotion. Almost any art can arouse pleasing sentiments. Only great art can give us intellectual rapture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Modern Painting The aim of this book is to find out, and to set down as briefly as possible, the various currents or trends of modern painting, showing each one of these trends as illustrated by the work of a few eminent men. It is addressed to laymen in general, and primarily to the reader who knows something of famous work - some thing, let us say, of Titian, Watteau, Corot, Turner, and even of a few American painters - but who knows very little as to the various tendencies of modern art and is not yet familiar with the names of its leaders. To this layman I have endeavored to bring the move ments and the significance of modern painting, to gether with some idea of the work of the great men who stand for it.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textiles and Sculpture by Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Paintings by Robert Loftin Newman (1827-1912): January 15th to February 8th, 1935 The knife remained a favorite tool through life and in spare mo, ments released from the imprisoning cedar many of the forms set forth in this exhibition. Following the Armory Show, the opening of eyes and minds to new ideas reacted strongly upon him and there was prolonged activity with the cedar blocks - a series of figurines which set forth exultingly the tendency of modern sculpture. The public response to the modern art made him feel the time had come to place objects of real and austere beauty within the purchasing power of many. About 1918 he completed an arrangement in Paris to have the figurines cast, ranging from one to twelve of a single model, and hopefully brought them back to America - to find them ahead of their day in the art market and above the anticipated price, due to the tariff on manufactured metal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1: Part I.-II The work now laid before the public originated in indigua. Tion at the shallow and false criticism of the periodicals of the day on the works of the great living artist to whom it princi pally refers. It was intended to be a short pamphlet, reprohat ing the matter and style of those critiques, and pointing out their perilous tendency, as guides of public feeling. But, as point after point presented itself for demonstration, I found myself compelled to amplify what was at first a letter to the Editor of a Review, into something very like a treatise on art, to which I was obliged to give the more consistency and com pleteness, because it advocated opinions which, to the ordinary connoisseur, will sound heretical. I now scarcely know whether I should announce it is an Essay on Landscape Painting, and apologize for its frequent reference to the works of a particular master; or, announcing it as a critique on particular works, apologize for its lengthy discussion of general principles. But of whatever character the work may be considered, the motives which led me to undertake it must not be mistaken. No zeal for the reputation of any individual, no personal feeling of any kind, has the slightest weight or influence with me. The rep tation of the great artist to whose works I have chiefly referred, is established on too legitimate grounds amongall whose admira tion is honorable, to be in any way afiected by the ignorant sarcasms of pretension and afiectation. But when public taste seems plunging deeper and deeper into degradation day by dayw and when the press universally exerts such power as it possesses to direct the feeling of the nation more completely to all that is theatrical, affected, and false in art; while it vents its ribald bufiooneries on the most exalted truth, and the highest ideal of.
