Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of American Sculpture No more composite nation than the United States has existed in modern times. The influx of foreign elements has been enormous; yet, despite the varied antecedents and the wide affinities of the American people, our language remains English and our traditions (such as exist) are and always have been English. In matters of religion and law, the inheritance was adequate, and familiar princi ples were readily harmonized with a new environment. In our literature, likewise, the ancestral traditions have been positive and potent; but in regard to the other fine arts they have been negative, though not less significant, since they explain, in large measure, the unpromising conditions amid which our national art was cradled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Masters of Sculpture: Being Brief Appreciations of Some American Sculptors and of Some Phases of Sculpture in America Scott at Washington also stands out conspicuously among the best we have. Brown, too, studied in Italy, but with the conviction that Americans should occupy themselves upon American subjects returned home and established his studio in New York. It would be going too far to attribute the excellence of these two statues to the fact of their having been conceived and executed in the American environment, the more so as Brown's work was uneven in quality and did not in other subjects reach the dignity of these. Yet his deviation from the custom of the time was the outcome of a very individual force of character, and the influence of the latter upon his work may very well have been reenforced by the environment. At any rate, his action was con sidered notable in his own day and has always been remembered since, and undoubtedly marks the beginning of the reaction against self expatriation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Contemporary American Sculpture: Held Under the Auspices of the National Sculpture Society; June 17-October 2, 1916 The collection consists of original works of sculpture in all its branches: medals, plaques, small and large sculpture in bronze, marble, plaster and other materials; wood and ivory carving, oh jects of sculpture in precious metals, portraits, allegorical statues and works of decorative or monumental character. Nearly all works of importance shown at the panama-pacific International Exposition are included and in addition some made since the expo sitiou by American sculptors of note have been solicited for the occasion. Buffalo should become a point of pilgrimage for all those who have an ambition to see the sculpture of our American artists as they have never seen it before, and as probably they will not see it again for many a long day. The works shown at the Albright Art Gallery will be returned to their owners after the close of the present exhibition and never again assembled in such a collection. The people of Bufialo have a rare pleasure in store for them in this exhibition of the work of American sculptors. Interest in sculpture has been aroused as never before by the important part it played in the Panama - Pacific Exposition. It would not be an exaggera tion to say that the great fountains, sculpture courts, decorative columns and individual examples of the plastic art were among the crowning features of the Exposition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technique of Sculpture In his book Art for America the author has attempted to show that sculpture is not declining, that so far from being a lost art, it is one that we have only now thoroughly discovered, and that the American people are actually on the threshold of an art era that may, if properly evolved, prove as beautiful, expressive, and inspiring as is the sublime sculpture of Greece. More nonsense is taught and written to-day about sculpture than about any other of the arts. It is full time we gave to this subject the serious consideration it merits. It has been the aim, in this book, to speak of the art as it really is, and the work is given forth with the hope that it may result in the creation, to some extent, of a fresh interest in sculpture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Art: A Study Outline The series includes outlines on art, literature, travel, biography, history and present day ques tions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to most of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recommended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library or from the state traveling library. When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list gives more room for choice.

Download or read book Conventionalism in Ancient American Art Classic Reprint written by Frederic Ward Putnam and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conventionalism in Ancient American Art In figures 5 and 6, the nose and mouth form the central object on one-half of the vessel, with an eye on each side. 011 the opposite half, the tail and an ear on each side are the balancing features, and a handle is placed in the centre between the eye and ear on each side. With this arrangement of the parts, conventionalism has full play, and in figures 7 and 8 are seen two vessels on which the nose, eye, ear and tail are rudely represented in the same positions as in the preceding. Several other vessels are of the same character, but slightly modified in the more or less realistic representation of the several parts, until, finally, the climax of conventionalism in this direction is reached in the vessel shown in figure 9, where the nose, tail, eyes and ears are represented by six round knobs of equal size, holding the positions assigned to the several features in the preceding figures.
