Book excerpt: Washington Allston (1779-1843), the first major American artist trained in Europe, produced important paintings, explored sculpture and architecture, and published poetry and art criticism. On his return to America he became influential in the cultural and intellectual life of New England. Allston "knew everyone" and corresponded with many of the leading figures of his day, including Wordsworth, Longfellow, Irving, Sully, and Morse.Nathalia Wright's edition is the most comprehensive work to date on Allston, bringing together all known letters by and to him and describing his principal activities in years for which correspondence is lacking.

LETTEBS FROM HORATIO GREENOUGH EULOGIZING Allston's CHARACTER AND COMMENTING ON HIS WORKS.--A LETTER FROM W. W. STORY, SUPPLEMENTED BY A TRIBUTE TO ALLSTON IN VERSE. Both the personal and the artistic sides of Allston are eloquently testified to in the two following letters from Horatio Greenough to R. H. Dana, Sr.: "paris, September 21, 1848. "My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 13th ult. has just now reached me, and has been a great relief to me. The thought of having been so near Allston at the time of his death, yet not with him, distressed me. I longed for a voice from one of you, to hear what you have now told me. What would I not have borne to have the memory which your daughter will ever retain of having listened to the last breathings of his blessed spirit! . . . But I knew all that I was enjoying when Allston lived. I can truly say that I heard him as an angel, and that when far from him he exercised over me a power no other man ever did. "In my eagerness to do something, I wrote to Mr. Quincy and to Mr. Gray to beg that they would use their influence to prevent tampering with the unfinished work which Allston had left. I tried to make them feel that works like his are always finished, because the first lines that declared his intention were a whole, and never finished, because the last agony of elaboration was but an approximation to his thought. I wished them to understand that instead of endeavoring to help him, our task is but to receive gratefully and cherish as it is all that came from him. "I can fully realize the anxiety with which you shrink from undertaking his biography. As a man you can record him--I know you will do it--worthily! As an artist you cannot record him! You will see that the news of his decease...

This book was released on 2004-08-18 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art for art's sake. Art created in pursuit of personal expression. In Art in an Age of Counterrevolution, Albert Boime rejects these popular modern notions and suggests that history—not internal drive or expressive urge—as the dynamic force that shapes art. This volume focuses on the astonishing range of art forms currently understood to fall within the broad category of Romanticism. Drawing on visual media and popular imagery of the time, this generously illustrated work examines the art of Romanticism as a reaction to the social and political events surrounding it. Boime reinterprets canonical works by such politicized artists as Goya, Delacroix, Géricault, Friedrich, and Turner, framing their work not by personality but by its sociohistorical context. Boime's capacious approach and scope allows him to incorporate a wide range of perspectives into his analysis of Romantic art, including Marxism, social history, gender identity, ecology, structuralism, and psychoanalytic theory, a reach that parallels the work of contemporary cultural historians and theorists such as Edward Said, Pierre Bourdieu, Eric Hobsbawm, Frederic Jameson, and T. J. Clark. Boime ultimately establishes that art serves the interests and aspirations of the cultural bourgeoisie. In grounding his arguments on their work and its scope and influence, he elucidates how all artists are inextricably linked to history. This book will be used widely in art history courses and exert enormous influence on cultural studies as well.

Download or read book The Representation of the Struggling Artist in America 1800 1865 written by Erika Schneider and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how American painters, sculptors, and writers, active between 1800 and 1865, depicted their response to a democratic society that failed to adequately support them financially and intellectually. Without the traditional European forms of patronage from the church or the crown, American artists faced unsympathetic countrymen who were unaccustomed to playing the role of patron and less than generous in rewarding creativity. It was in this unrewarding landscape that American artists in the first half of the nineteenth century employed the “struggling” or “starving artist” image to criticize the country’s lack of patronage and immortalize their own struggles. Although the concept of the struggling artist is well known, only a select few artists chose to represent themselves in this negative manner. Using works from five decades, Schneider demonstrates how the artists, such as Washington Allston, Charles Bird King, David Gilmour Blythe, represented a larger phenomenon of artistic struggle in America. The artists’ journals, letters, and biographies reveal how native artists’ desire to create imaginative works came in conflict with American patrons’ more practical interests in portraiture and later in the century, genre work. If artists wanted to avoid financial struggle, they had to learn to capitulate to patrons’ demands. This intellectual struggle would prove the most difficult. In addition to the fine arts, the struggling artist type in essays, poems, short stories, and novels, whose tales mirror the frustrations facing fine artists, are also considered. Through an examination of the development of art academies and exhibition venues, this study traces the evolution of a young nation that went from considering artists as mere craftsmen to recognizing them as important members of a civilized society.
