Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our American Artists Mr. Beard went to New York city after he had been painting for awhile, and took a few lessons from his brother James. He then settled in Buffalo for ten years, where he gained a solid local reputation. During that time he painted his picture of a cat with her kittens, the first work he had on the line in the exhibition of the National Academy. It is one of his best pictures. The old cat, which served as a model, was very restless, having no notion of sitting for her portrait, and Mrs. Beard had to hold her. While the artist sketched the outline or laid on the color. It was during his residence in Buffalo that Mr. Beard went to Italy, where he spent two years amid the inspiring influence of Italian art. Two years after his return Mr. Beard settled in New York, where he has remained ever since, paint ing many works of merit and celebrity, and becoming a member of the National Academy, which entitles him to add N.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Artists American art flows not from tradition but, in a specially marked sense, from the individuality of the artist. The men who have played a constructive part in the building up of our school have in many cases received their training abroad, but have used it in a fresh, very personal manner. It is in appreciation of some of these men that the following pages have been composed; in some cases to recall figures not always remembered at the present day. My chapters have been written on various occasions. I hope, however, that they have the unity which should come from years of faithful study of American art and from Whole-hearted delight in the manifestations of its.

Download or read book The Artists of America written by C. Edwards Lester and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Artists of America: A Series of Biographical Sketches of American Artists; With Portraits and Designs on Steel The immediate object of this Series of Biographical Sketches, is to make Our Artists and their Works better known at home. Abroad, this is not necessary, for there they have always been better known, and better appreciated than in their own country. The names of such men as West, Allston, Durand, and Powers, are a sufficient pledge of the truth of this statement. While every American of taste, and of national feeling, is proud of Our Artists, he blushes when this fact is told. It does not re ect much credit upon us, it seems to me, to have it said, and with too much truth too, that no American Artist can get bread at home till he has won fame abroad. I have long believed that the insensibility of the nation to the claims of Art and Artists was more owing to a lack of information on these subjects, than to any, perhaps all other causes; and I have long desired to see this want supplied with some work, uniting beauty of execution and cheapness of price, with authenticity of facts, to secure for it general circulation. Artists themselves will not do it, although well qualified for the task; perhaps they could not do it without suffering, however unjustly, unkind imputations. No one else seems inclined to make an attempt, and I have resolved to try it myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Art in America written by Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in America: A Critical and Historical Sketch The aim of this book has been. To give a historical outline of the growth of the arts in America. But while this has been the dominating idea in the mind of the writer, criticism has necessarily entered, more or less, into the preparation of the work, since only by weighing the differ ences or the comparative merits of those artists who seemed best to illus trate the various phases of American art has it been possible to trace its progress from one step to another. It is from no lack of appreciation of their talents that the author has apparently neglected mention of the American artists resident in foreign capitals - like Bridgman, Duveneck, Wight, Neal, Bacon, Benson, Ernest Parton, Millet, Whistler, Dana, Blashfield, Miss Gardner, Miss Conant, and many others who have done credit to American aesthetic culture. But it was necessary to draw the line somewhere; and to discuss what our artists are painting abroad would have at once enlarged the scope of the work beyond the limits of the plan adopted. An exception has been made in the case of our sculptors, because they have so uniformly lived and wrought in Europe, and so large a proportion of them are still resi dent there, that, were we to confine this branch of the subject only to the sculptors now actually in America, there would be little left to say about their department of our arts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Art of Our Century The interest in the American scene which had inspired earlier nineteenth-century genre painting had disappeared. The common life of the United States and its people - the life of farm, factory, and office; the teeming cities; the work and play of the larger population - found little expression. There was no hint of social conflicts or problems, no satire, indeed, little humor'o-f any kind. The city was. Sel dom pictured, and then only its politer aspects Fifth Avenue, not Fourteenth Street. The new world of the machine age, of skyscrapers and fac tories and great bridges, had few admirers among established artists. To judge by their work, the In dustrial Revolution had never occurred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Painting Today In the past five years during which such an incredible number of individual pictures and murals have had purely American subject matter, it has been possible to notice that what one painter has called the gulf between looking and see ing has been crossed by many. This is what creates a well warranted hopefulness. Incidentally, it is what has created the many accomplished works which must be credited to the American artist of this period. In the first enthusiasm of five years ago there were many sociological paintings which indicated on the part of the artist more courage than equip ment. This is easily understandable because when artists were creating for their own exclusive satisfaction rather than for the purpose of communicating ideas to a large audience they undertook to solve problems that were within their grasp.

The per sonal respect which the character of Benjamin West has universally inspired, the interesting details of his life, and the grateful recollection in which his name is held by succeeding painters, have tended in some degree to blend his claims as an artist with those to which he is entitled as a man. It is important to define, if possible, the limits of both. Discrimination is quite compatible with love.
