Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rookwood, an American Art In 1883 Mr. William Watts Taylor assumed active direction of the works; in 1890 Mrs. Storer transferred to him her interest and he formed a company to develop and perpetuate what she had started. As Rookwood Was not imitating other wares, but starting as a pioneer along new lines, it had to Work out its own processes and its own style. Instead of importing foreign decorators with fixed methods Rookwood gathered to itself a staff of American artists and bravely set out to solve its own problems. These artists year after year progressed in mastering the new decorative medium, making their own technique and working out 'styles so individual that signatures upon the pieces are hardly needed to identify them. From its foundation to the present time Rookwood has kept itself free from those commercial influences which are destructive to artistic qualities Its workers have depended upon their own initiative and originality of invention. Thus Rookwood has grown into a highly organized community of workers, to which it supplies the most advanced resources of a very complicated craft. It does this as a means to the freest expression of individual artists who associate themselves with it and whose signatures appear upon its productions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rookwood, an American Art "Our definition of a work of art as something beautiful, skillfully made to give pleasure, applies as truly to, the artistic industries as it does to the Fine Arts. It is not enough that the thing should seem beautiful to the maker; there must be a corresponding perceptive faculty in the person or class for whom it is made." "Between the artists' land and the world of every-day life hangs many a spangled rainbow bridge. He that can traverse the intervening gulf will assuredly find his way to the realm where all the poets and painters and musicians have dwelt, and where they have beheld the glimpses of beauty, which, though perhaps but dimly remembered and indistinctly embodied in their works, have become the priceless possessions of the human race."

Download or read book Rookwood and the American Indian written by Anita J. Ellis and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's premier private collection of Rookwood art pottery featuring American Indian portraiture is on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum from October 2007 to January 2008. Rookwood and the American Indian: Masterpieces of American Art Pottery from the James J. Gardner Collection is a remarkable exhibition catalogue that will be of interest well beyond the exhibition because of its unique subject matter. Fifty-two pieces produced by the Rookwood Pottery Company are showcased, many accompanied by black-and-white photographs of the American Indians portrayed by the ceramic artist. In addition, the catalogue includes a brief biography of each artist as well as curators' comments about the Rookwood pottery and the Indian apparel seen in the portraits. The catalogue also presents two essays. The first, "Enduring Encounters: Cincinnatians and American Indians to 1900," by ethnologist and co-curator Susan Labry Meyn, describes American Indian activities in Cincinnati from the time of the first settlers to 1900 and relates these events to national policy, such as the 1830 Indian Removal Act. Rookwood and the American Indian, by art historian Anita J. Ellis, concentrates on Rookwood's fascination with the American Indian and the economic implications of producing that line. Rookwood and the American Indian blends anthropology with art history to reveal the relationships between the white settlers and the Native Americans in general, between Cincinnati and the American Indian in particular, and ultimately between Rookwood artists and their Indian friends.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rookwood, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance We're sorry His violent act has e'en drawn blood of honour, And stained our honours Thrown ink upon the forehead of our fame, Which envious spirits will dip their pens into After our death, and blot us in our tombs; Fer that which would seem treason in our lives, Is laughter when we're dead. Who dares now whisper, That dares not then speak out and even proclaim, With loud words, and broad pens, our closest shame? The revenger's tragedy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rookwood, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance Val than its predecessor. The pruning knife has been used with no sparing hand; but though much has been removed, much I am aware, still remains that was held to be objectionable in the original construction of the story, but which I have found it impossible to obviate. It would have been a less dificult task to re-write the book than partially to remodel it; just as it is easier to build a new house than to repair an old one. I have contented myself with takin down a useless wing or so - with stopping up a window here an there, that looked upon nothing - and having brushed up my tarnished furniture and put my crazy structure somewhat in order, I solicit the reader, with the best grace I can, to do me the favour to ramble through it, in my company. I can show him an antique gallery of portraits - of undoubted originals, some scraps it may be of firded arms, and a sketch or two of characters nut so far remoted from his own time. But he must so far preserve his good breeding, as not to ask me any questions which I may not be prepared to answer; for I am one of those persons who like to have all the talk to themselves -and but seldom condescend to explain anything satisfactorily, pe'cially when interrupted. The reader must therefore content him wlfwith being as credulous as he can contrive to be, and take all for.
