Book In Pursuit of Beauty

Download or read book In Pursuit of Beauty written by Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1986 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project is the first comprehensive study of a phenomenon that not only dominated the American arts of the 1870s and 1880s, but also helped set the course of such later developments in the United States as the Arts and Crafts movement, the indigenous interpretation of Art Nouveau, and even the rise of modernism. In fact, the early history of the Metropolitan--its founding, its sponsorship of a school of industrial design, and its display of decorative works--is inextricably tied to the Aesthetic movement and its educational goals. "In Pursuit of Beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement" comprised some 175 objects including furniture, metalwork, stained glass, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, painting, and sculpture. Some of these had rarely been displayed; others, although familiar, were being shown in new and even startling contexts. The exhibition and catalogue are arranged thematically to illustrate both the major styles of a visually rich movement and the ideas that generated its diversity"--From publisher's description.

Book Feeding Desire

Download or read book Feeding Desire written by Sarah Coffin and published by Assouline. This book was released on 2006 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eating is a social ritual, satisfying the needs of the body and building human relationships. For centuries, flatware and cutlery have served as extensions of our hands, enriching how we experience food and the act of eating. Knives, forks, and spoons are among our most intimate objects of daily use ; they come between hand and mouth, articulating the experience of dining. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, 'Feeding Desire : Design and the Tools of the Table, 1500-2005' explores the evolution, physical forms, and social meanings of eating utensils over the past five centuries. Seven original essays accompanied by over 200 full-color and black-and-white illustrations reveal changing ideas about food, fashion, decoration, mobility, hygiene, and consumption."--

Subsequently this gift of works by three siblings from Manchester, New Hampshire, that includes their childhood drawings and instructional works, the proofs of their wood engravings, and oils and watercolors done as adults, was augmented with other materials relating to the history of the family and its artists. Taken together, the conference papers trace the transformation of art in America for its consumers and the evolution of working in art.

Download or read book Infinite Radius written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RISD announced the publication of Infinite Radius: Founding Rhode Island School of Design, the first anthology about the establishment of America's best-known college of art and design in 1877. "Infinite Radius" presents a handsome compendium of rare archival photographs, scholarly essays, previously unpublished manuscripts and reproductions of early acquisitions in its impressive collection of art and design. Together, this written and visual material provides invaluable insight into the social and cultural context in which both the academic programs of the School and the broader educational mission of the RISD Museum of Art took root. Infinite Radius takes its title from a RISD founder, the 19th-century educator and activist Sarah Elizabeth Doyle, who was known to remark that the "sphere" of so-called women's work was one with an "infinite radius." From the beginning, co-editors Dawn Barrett, RISD's dean of Architecture and Design, and Andrew Martinez, RISD's archivist, conceived of the book in a similar, all-encompassing way. The book is intended to inspire further research into the many areas it broaches, from the initial seed funding for the school from the Rhode Island Women's Centennial Commission, to its early successes thanks to the direction, governance and support of the Metcalf family, to its growing strength in the early 20th century.
