Download or read book Picturing Savannah written by and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Art and Power in the Central African Savanna written by Constantijn Petridis and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing the powers immanent in works that the West long regarded only as exotic or abstract, Constantine Petridis looks beneath the surface of the arts of the Luba, Songye, Chokwe and Luluwa peoples to find, literally embedded in sculpture, the forces that enable the spirit world to intervene in daily life. Ritual use of these objects is expected to ensure a healthy birth, successful hunt, or triumph over an enemy. Analysis of the scholarly record illuminates the changing visions of leadership and prestige that fostered the development of the majestic, elaborate figure styles long prized in the West. These sculptures nevertheless retain the mysterious potency of more humble objects trusted for centuries to protect, heal and harm. Art and Power in the Central African Savanna examines an artistic culture in which the sacred and the secular are indivisible, and aesthetic and moral value inseparable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savannah LaFleur. A young lady who could charm any man, but spent the last four years in a convent. With nothing left of her family but memories, she fled the war ravaged south — and a life chosen for her by her father. Her only destination — to get away. Although danger seemed to come at her from every direction, every step led her west to the little town of Whiskey Springs. And possibly an unexpected new place for herself. Jeb Wright. A man who could shoot the eyes out of a fly, but hated killing. A formidable officer in the northern army, he spent the last two years of the war locked away in a southern prison. After the war, a man accustomed to leading others, he struggled with no one to lead. He determined to put his life behind him. About as far away as possible, the little town of Whiskey Springs held promises of a new beginning. Jeb never expected to find a lady like Savannah on the frontier. A lady who saw the best in him. And Savannah never thought a hardened northern soldier like Jeb would turn her head. Would Whiskey Springs inspire a new start for both of them? A bold story of love and danger on the western frontier.

Download or read book Jerome Myers the Ash Can Artist of the Lower East Side written by Robert L. Gambone and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eight (Ash Can School), artists who joined ranks in 1908 to challenge the conservative dominance of the National Academy, does not count Jerome Myers among its number. Yet the pioneering work done by Myers places him in the forefront of contemporary realist artists. His focused concentration depicting the environment and inhabitants of New York Citys Lower East Side immigrant neighborhood catapults Jerome Myers into the forefront of artists who boldly sought out expressions of contemporary life. Myerss work allows us to understand these immigrant neighborhoods in a way that would not be possible today if his art did not exist. This book examines Myerss biography and art in detail, establishing not only his preeminant claim to a position at the forefront of the Eight, but also his role as artist-historian of a bygone neighborhood and the positive life of immigrants who lived there.

Download or read book The Oglethorpe Plan written by Thomas D. Wilson and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statesman and reformer James Oglethorpe was a significant figure in the philosophical and political landscape of eighteenth-century British America. His social contributions—all informed by Enlightenment ideals—included prison reform, the founding of the Georgia Colony on behalf of the "worthy poor," and stirring the founders of the abolitionist movement. He also developed the famous ward design for the city of Savannah, a design that became one of the most important planning innovations in American history. Multilayered and connecting the urban core to peripheral garden and farm lots, the Oglethorpe Plan was intended by its author to both exhibit and foster his utopian ideas of agrarian equality. In his new book, the professional planner Thomas D. Wilson reconsiders the Oglethorpe Plan, revealing that Oglethorpe was a more dynamic force in urban planning than has generally been supposed. In essence, claims Wilson, the Oglethorpe Plan offers a portrait of the Enlightenment, and embodies all of the major themes of that era, including science, humanism, and secularism. The vibrancy of the ideas behind its conception invites an exploration of the plan's enduring qualities. In addition to surveying historical context and intellectual origins, this book aims to rescue Oglethorpe’s work from its relegation to the status of a living museum in a revered historic district, and to demonstrate instead how modern-day town planners might employ its principles. Unique in its exclusive focus on the topic and written in a clear and readable style, The Oglethorpe Plan explores this design as a bridge between New Urbanism and other more naturally evolving and socially engaged modes of urban development.
