Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Starrett Sample (1896-1974) was an artist of the American Scene movement who worked primarily in Los Angeles, California, and Hanover, New Hampshire. He produced paintings that were revered in his lifetime but mostly forgotten in later art-historical scholarship. Sample's body of work offers considerable insight into the art of the 1930s and 1940s, since he was involved in nearly every facet of American art. He showed paintings in prominent exhibitions, connected with Regionalist and California School artists, created murals for businesses and New Deal programs, produced illustrations for leading magazines, taught at the University of Southern California, served at Dartmouth as one of the first artist-in-residents in the United States, and worked as an artist-correspondent for LIFE magazine during World War II. Sample's artwork is part of a larger discourse on masculinity. During the Great Depression and World War II, he continually represented scenes of male camaraderie, which seems to have had a powerful personal resonance for him. Sample was a gifted athlete who led an active life as an undergraduate at Dartmouth College but later had to abandon physical activity due to illness. Shortly after graduation he and his younger brother Donald were diagnosed with tuberculosis; they spent over four years together in a rest cure at a sanatorium, but Donald died of the disease. This emotional trauma influenced the way Sample would depict men in his American scenes. Unlike most other painters and muralists of the 1930s who portrayed American men as muscular, heroic figures, Sample represented them as downtrodden, frustrated, or idling. Sample's paintings offer a different view of masculinity-a definition that is rooted in listlessness and leisure rather than in physicality and work. Sample produced his most notable paintings during the 1930s when he lived in Southern California. This dissertation revisits those paintings and reconsiders their Regionalist context, demonstrating why it is important to see America and its art through the work of Paul Sample and why he is a significant figure to American art.

This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles in the 1930s returns to print an invaluable document of Depression-era Los Angeles, illuminating a pivotal moment in L.A.’s history, when writers like Raymond Chandler, Nathanael West, and F. Scott Fitzgerald were creating the images and associations—and the mystique—for which the City of Angels is still known. Many books in one, Los Angeles in the 1930s is both a genial guide and an addictively readable history, revisiting the Spanish colonial period, the Mexican period, the brief California Republic, and finally American sovereignty. It is also a compact coffee table book of dazzling monochrome photography. These whose haunting visions suggest the city we know today and illuminate the booms and busts that marked L.A.’s past and continue to shape its future.

Download or read book Marsden Hartley written by Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) was a painter, poet, writer, and pioneer of American modernism. Born in Lewiston, Maine, he lived a peripatetic life, working in Paris, Berlin, New York, Mexico, New Mexico, Bermuda, and elsewhere before returning to Maine in 1934. This superbly illustrated book encompasses the extraordinary range and depth of Hartley's creative output. Some one-hundred and five of his works - landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and abstract paintings - demonstrate the visual power for which Hartley gained acclaim as well as the development of his art over the course of his thirty-five year career." "The book gathers together the most recent scholarship on Hartley's work, discussing such topics as the artist's working methods, his self-portraits, the influence of Cezanne on his work, and Hartley's attitudes toward Native Americans. A chronology of his life is included, and each painting is accompanied by a full catalogue entry." "This book also serves as the catalogue of an exhibition organized by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and traveling to the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
