Book excerpt: This catalogue for the Telfair Museum of Art’s exhibition Picturing Savannah: The Art of Christopher A. D. Murphy provides valuable information on Murphy’s life and career, documenting four decades of his finest work in all media: oils, watercolors, etchings, and pencil and charcoal drawings. Born in 1902, Murphy was one of Savannah’s most accomplished and beloved artists. After studying in New York City at the Art Students League, he returned to his native Savannah. He taught privately at the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences and at Armstrong College (now Armstrong Atlantic State University). In 1929, he helped found the Association of Georgia Artists and in 1947 he collaborated with Walter Hartridge on the book Savannah, providing drawings and etchings of his native city. Just as his success peaked in New York in 1929, the stock market crashed and Murphy found it necessary to return home to his family. Of all the artists who have taken Savannah and its environs as their primary inspiration, Murphy was among the most sensitive and skillful. He knew the city intimately and portrayed it in all its facets--elegant and shabby, rich and poor. His work ranged from refined portraits of Savannah’s elite to spontaneous depictions of African American children, from images of the city’s grand homes to renderings of rural farms and shanties. Murphy’s work captures a city in flux, a southern town slowly adopting a modern lifestyle. An incipient preservationist, Murphy documented many homes, neighborhoods, and landmarks that no longer exist. Murphy’s work was included in annual exhibits of the Southern States Art League and at the American Watercolor Society and was shown nationally and internationally at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Cleveland Print Society, the Philadelphia Print Club, the Brooklyn Society of Etchers, the Savannah Art Club, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He also contributed to such popular publications as Country Life, American Architect, House Beautiful, and Southern Architect. The show, which is installed at the Telfair Academy from February 6 through June 1, 2008, presents 80-100 works drawn from local private and corporate collections, from the Telfair Museum of Art’s nineteen holdings, and from holdings of the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta.

Download or read book Historic Signs of Savannah written by Justin Gunther and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the cotton boom after the Civil War to Savannah's economic decline around the middle of the 20th century, the city's streetscapes were crowded with signs. In a time before strict sign regulations, business owners embellished building facades and and rooftops with extensive signage to catch the eye of pedestrians and motorists. The abundance of advertising was symbolic of Savannah's rapid growth and prosperity, but the majority of these signs were discarded over the years, and only a few remain. Photographs and postcards from the past survive, however, and images of historic signs serve as reminders of these lost commercial relics. Such signs give the bricks and mortar of the past another dimension by identifying their social purpose. Through vintage images of Savannah signage, this volume provides a history of the city's businesses and industries. Included are local landmarks like Levy Jewelers, the Globe Shoe Company, the Lucas Theatre, the Marshall House, and Johnny Harris Restaurant.

Download or read book Lost Savannah written by Luciana M. Spracher and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding over 250 years ago, Savannah, Georgia has become a historic preservation gold mine, exhibiting a variety of architectural styles. However, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area experienced heavy economic growth, during which numerous buildings were demolished regardless of age or condition to make way for newer and supposedly better structures. The community lost many important landmarks, architectural masterpieces, and a piece of its history. Lost Savannah takes a close look at these vanished buildings to document their existence and role in Savannah's past. Drawing on collections of the Georgia Historical Society, a rich presentation of Savannah's public, private, and commercial architecture has been brought together in this unique photographic volume. Through vintage images, one can see the city's development and growth as well as its subsequent decay prior to the preservation movement. Lost Savannah examines individual buildings, such as Union Station and the Bulloch-Habersham House, as well as the evolution of Savannah's architectural landscape, including West Broad Street and Elbert Square.

Book excerpt: Quite unlike her fair stepsisters, Lizzie is dark and secretive: 'Just like your father' says her mother. But what was her father like? Photos of him are hidden away; snatches of overheard conversation between her mother and her stepfather deepen the mystery. Only her best friend Savannah - also abandoned by her father when she was a baby - knows what it feels like to wonder, to try and piece together an earlier story. But when events propel Lizzie alone to London she stops wondering and starts searching... Beautifully evoking the ache of childhood loss, the scrappy joys of chaotic families, and the hurt and relief of understanding, OUT OF THE PICTURE reveals Polly Samson's talent for laying bare the uncomfortable truths that lie just under the skin - in every family, in every secret.
