Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art Life of William Rimmer: Sculptor, Painter, and Physician York as the director of the School of Design for Women at the Cooper Institute. Of his origin nothing whatever was learned, either by his friends or the public; and outside of his family - circle little was known of his life or his strug gles, even by his immediate friends. His plaster statue of the falling gladiator, ' when in 1861 it was first shown at his house in East Milton, and soon after in Boston, was pronounced a remarkable work, and its author a modern Michael Angelo. But neither this work, nor the st. Stephen, which was produced a year earlier, gained at that time the place in public esteem which they merited; and, after a temporary suc cess, both sank into undeserved obscurity.

Book excerpt: William Rimmer (1816–1879) is arguably the first modernist American sculptor, although his inventive originality has not been fully acknowledged. Rimmer cultivated an art of ideas and personal expression whilst supporting himself as a physician and, later, as a teacher of art anatomy at the Cooper Union School of Design for Women in New York. Unlike his contemporaries, he advocated the creation of sculpture drawn entirely from the artist’s imagination, as opposed to antique archetypes or live models. In this way, he sought to reframe excellence in American art as something that must be found within, rather than derived from Europe. In this new monograph, the meaning of Rimmer’s works is for the first time considered from a combination of perspectives, such as close visual analysis (including X-ray and infrared), historical documentation, and social context. These are enriched with discussion of the artist’s own bipolar disorder, deeply-held spiritualism, and views on gender equality—considering women just as talented as men, he used naked male models in all-female classes long before his contemporaries, and produced an allegorical sculpture of fighting lions that criticized the tyranny of men over women. This book will be of great interest to academics, students, art museums, collectors, dealers, art historians, and members of the public with an affinity for Rimmer’s work. It will also appeal to those with a broader interest in American culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Rimmer (1816-1879) has long been considered an important figure in American art. He has been mentioned in all the major surveys of nineteenth-century American art, yet this is the first book devoted solely to him since 1946, when the last major exhibition of his work was held. Directed at an educated, popular audience, the book contains information on all of Rimmer's major work and presents many new findings about his life. In spite of the many developments in American rat research in the past four decades, RImmer has remained a particularly elusive figure - hard to know and harder still to categorize within the larger context of American art and style. This book reestablishes the details of Rimmer's career and reconsiders the quality of his artistry. -- from back cover.
