Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Sculpture Much that might properly occur in the preface of this book will be found in its opening chapter. I there set out. The ground to be covered, and define the point of view from which I have treated my facts. These few remarks will, accordingly, be addressed to any who may think that a work bearing the title A History of Sculpture requires a word of introduction. My justification for the title and, indeed, for the work as a whole, is that I have not attempted to write a new text-book. In my view, all great art is essentially national art. It can therefore only be understood in the light of national and international history. For this reason, I have given much more attention to the artistic interpreta tion of historical events and social circumstances than most historians of the arts have deemed necessary. Throughout I have written from the standpoint of one who believes that the great schools of sculpture were created, not by individuals of genius, but by the peoples to whom they appealed. A work written on these lines can fairly claim to be A History of Sculpture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sculpture, Renaissance and Modern IT is not an easy task to fulfil the title of this series of books, and to combine the Weight of history with the necessary slightness of a hand-book. It can only be done by a resolute compression of facts which is necessarily cramping to the author and probably dry for the reader. I have done my best to comply with the conditions and avoid the dangers: with how, little or how much success I fear to judge; for after all, my little.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of American Sculpture No more composite nation than the United States has existed in modern times. The influx of foreign elements has been enormous; yet, despite the varied antecedents and the wide affinities of the American people, our language remains English and our traditions (such as exist) are and always have been English. In matters of religion and law, the inheritance was adequate, and familiar princi ples were readily harmonized with a new environment. In our literature, likewise, the ancestral traditions have been positive and potent; but in regard to the other fine arts they have been negative, though not less significant, since they explain, in large measure, the unpromising conditions amid which our national art was cradled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technique of Sculpture In his book Art for America the author has attempted to show that sculpture is not declining, that so far from being a lost art, it is one that we have only now thoroughly discovered, and that the American people are actually on the threshold of an art era that may, if properly evolved, prove as beautiful, expressive, and inspiring as is the sublime sculpture of Greece. More nonsense is taught and written to-day about sculpture than about any other of the arts. It is full time we gave to this subject the serious consideration it merits. It has been the aim, in this book, to speak of the art as it really is, and the work is given forth with the hope that it may result in the creation, to some extent, of a fresh interest in sculpture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Sketches of Sculpture and Sculptors, Vol. 1 After writing the above Preface, and when my book was nearly completed, a volume was put into my hands, which, had I met with it before, would have supplied my want. This Work, entitled Sculpture and the Plastic Art, is an excellent compendium of works preced ing it. The author, however, though begin ning with the same general plan as mine, has followed it out in so different a manner, that I have still thought a publication of my own book might not be useless. The subject Of Sculpture among us Ameri cans has been but little studied except by the initiated. Painting has her thousand votaries, and is illustrated and described by a hundred authors, while Sculpture stands ooff in moon lit solitudes, and, like the Egyptian Isis, veils her features from the crowd.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of Sculpture The term classical, for instance, which is used to denote a school of itself in opposition to Gothic art, or to work of a realistic character, is a very misleading term, and used always in a loose and vague way. In literature the use of the word is more limited and its sense better defined but nevertheless even here there is in some sense a vagueness about its application.

In dealing with the later portion of the history of sculpture, I have endeavoured to follow the same principles as in the earlier portion, and consequently I am again precluded from the discussion of many interesting problems as to which I do not feel justified in expressing a dogmatic opinion, while I have not space to give, even in summary, the arguments on each side. I regret that I am unable to fulfil my conditional promise Of an appendix on the discoveries of the French excavators at Delphi, no Official publication having as yet been issued.

Download or read book A History of Ancient Sculpture Classic Reprint written by Lucy Myers Mitchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient Sculpture Fragments of a great artistic past have come down to us, now torn from their original surroundings, and wrapped in mystery to our changed modern world. For centuries these monuments have lain buried beneath the soil, or, when visible, have too often suffered sadly from neglect. Sundering from this vast treasure what belongs to the plastic art, we find the sculptural monuments widely scattered, and often hopelessly isolated, so that a feeling of discouragement will sometimes come over one attempting to solve the riddles propounded. Here it is that the archaeologist comes to our aid, with his new-born science, which dates hardly farther back than the days of Winckelmann; and bringing to bear upon his subject the patient labor of the excavator and of the conscientious collector, the resources of profound learn ing and of a comparative spirit, and the breadth of a scientific vision which is able to classify and group the sundered fragments, he makes the dis jointed members more and more parts of an organic whole.
