Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Centuries of Painting by Randall Davies INTRODUCTORY So far as it concerns pictures painted upon panel or canvas in tempera or oils, the history of painting begins with Cimabue, who worked in Florence during the latter half of the thirteenth century. That the art was practised in much earlier times may readily be admitted, and the life-like portraits in the vestibule at the National Gallery taken from Greek tombs of the second or third century are sufficient proofs of it; but for the origin of painting as we are now generally accustomed to understand the term we need go no further back than to Cimabue and his contemporaries, from whose time the art has uninterruptedly developed throughout Europe until the present day. Oddly enough it is to the Christian Church, whose early fathers put their heaviest ban upon all forms of art, that this development is almost wholly due. The reaction against paganism began to die out when the Christian religion was more firmly established, and representations of Christ and the Saints executed in mosaic became more and more to be regarded as a necessary, or at any rate a regular embellishment of the numerous churches which were built. For these mosaics panel paintings began in time to be substituted; but it was long before any of the human feeling of art was to be found in them. The influence of S. Francis of Assisi was needed to prepare the way, and it was only towards the close of the thirteenth century that the breath of life began to be infused into these conventional representations, and painting became a living art. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Download or read book Painting California written by Jean Stern and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luminous, gorgeously realized landscape paintings made en plein air by members of the California Art Club over the past 100 years. This volume showcases 200 works by California Art Club artists who have focused on the evocative seascapes, charming seaside towns, and beach communities from San Diego to San Francisco, demonstrating a breathtaking range of natural settings suffused with atmosphere, drama, and light. Since the dawn of the twentieth century, California has been home to artists from all over America and Europe who aspired to depict the state’s compelling natural landscapes on canvas. In 1909, these artists founded the California Art Club, which stands today as one of the most esteemed painting societies in the United States. This volume, which follows Skira Rizzoli’s luminous California Light: A Century of Landscapes, presents more of the club’s distinctive and lush plein air painting, an impressionistic style in which painters work outdoors in order to capture the ephemeral moment when the natural lighting of a landscape elevates an already beautiful scene into something sublime. As observed by W.H. Auden, “Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.” We as a species are drawn to the sea—artists perhaps even more so than others, as beautifully evidenced in this book.
Download or read book Kerry James Marshall History of Painting written by and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerry James Marshall is one of America’s greatest living painters. History of Painting presents a groundbreaking body of new work that engages with the history of the medium itself. In History of Painting, the artist has widened his scope to include both figurative and nonfigurative works that deal explicitly with art history, race, and gender, as well as force us to reexamine how artworks are received in the world and in the art market. In the paintings in this book, Marshall’s critique of history and of dominant white narratives is present, even as the subjects of the paintings move between reproductions of auction catalogues, abstract works, and scenes of everyday life. Essays by Teju Cole and Hal Foster help readers navigate the artist’s masterful vision, decoding complexly layered works such as Untitled (Underpainting) (2018) and Marshall’s own artistic philosophy. This catalogue is published on the occasion of Marshall’s eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner, London, in 2018.

Download or read book The Dordrecht Museum Looking at Six Centuries of Painting written by Liesbeth van Noortwijk and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De schilderkunst is de ?machtigste onder alle kunsten?, schreef Samuel van Hoogstraten, de beroemde 17deeeuwse schilder-schrijver uit Dordrecht. Want met een perfecte illusie kan de schilder het oog verleiden, zelfs misleiden. ?Net echt? kan betoverend zijn. Maar een schilderij kan je ook om heel andere redenen raken. Het toont je de wereld zoals je die niet eerder zag. 00In het Dordrechts Museum vind je zes eeuwen Nederlandse schilderkunst onder één dak. Schilderijen van voor 1600 tot hedendaagse kunst. Een levende collectie, waarin oud en nieuw elkaar ontmoeten. En juist daardoor raak je er niet snel uitgekeken. Het plezier van het kijken staat in het nieuwe collectieboek van het museum voorop. Het is geen chronologisch overzicht van stromingen en stijlen, eerder een wandeling met zijsprongen door zes eeuwen schilderkunst, die laat zien hoe aloude thema?s als ?landschap?, ?portret? of ?verhalen vertellen? kunstenaars steeds opnieuw hebben geïnspireerd. Schilderijen staan naast elkaar in soms onverwachte combinaties die uitnodigen tot kijken, vergelijken en het ontdekken van nieuwe verbindingen. Tussen oud en nieuw, en tussen verschillende schilderkunstige opvattingen. Een uniek museumboek om vaak open te slaan en telkens weer anders te bekijken.
