Download or read book William J Glackens and Pierre Auguste Renoir written by Bonnie Clearwater and published by Skira Editore. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William J. Glackens's (1870-1938) keen interest in the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) has long been recognized, but Glackens's specific debt to the art of this important French modernist has not been fully explored. In bringing together more than 30 works by each of these two important modernists for the first time, William Glackens and Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Affinities and Distinctions fills this void. It demonstrates Glackens's response to Renoir's Impressionist work (1860-mid-1880s), which was avidly purchased by a wide variety of American collectors, including Albert C. Barnes, who sent Glackens, his friend and colleague, to Paris in 1912 to purchase works for his then fledgling collection. Glackens was the only American artist who subsequently had nearly carte blanche access to Barnes' increasingly important collection of American and European modern art that included work by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, among others, and numerous examples of Renoir's late-style (1890-1919). The exhibition defines Glackens's late style (c.1925-1938) for the first time, its affinities and distinctions from Renoir's work, and how it emerges from Glackens's familiarity with works specific exhibitions in New York, and the art he saw in Italy in 1926, and in Barnes' collection, while shedding new light on the history of taste in American collecting from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.

Book excerpt: This volume features artists who brought a new sophistication and elegancento American art in the three decades before World War I. Wealthyndustrialists eager to acquire culture began to patronize native artists whoad achieved international recognition. John Singer Sargent, Irving Wiles andecilia Beaux created portraits of these new patrons, while John La Farge andugustus Saint-Gaudens made luxurious adornments for their homes. One groupf painters - including Louis Comfort Tiffany, Frederick Arthur Bridgman,enry Ossawa Tanner and Charles Sprague Pearce - responded especially to theascnation with exotic Middle Eastern, Egyptian or "Oriental" cultures thatharacterized this age of international imperialism. The educated and refinedspects of Gilded Age culture are expressed here in Renaissance-inspiredaintings by Abbott Thayer and Mary Cassatt. Romantic literary works byisionary Albert Pinkham Ryder symbolize the idealized strivings of thiseneration, while the rugged masculine landscapes of Winslow Homer emblemizehe struggle and conflict that marked this period of contending social and

Download or read book Picturing the City written by Rebecca Zurier and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-09-06 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Zurier vividly locates the Ashcan School artists within the early twentieth-century crosscurrents of newspaper journalism, literary realism, illustration, sociology, and urban spectatorship. Her compassionate study newly assesses the artists' rejection of 'genteel' New York, their alignments with mass media, and their innovative ways of seeing in the modern city."—Wanda M. Corn, author of The Great American Thing: Modern Art and National Identity, 1915-35 If the Ashcan School brought a special and embracing eye to the city, Rebecca Zurier in her richly contextual and impressively interdisciplinary book explains and evokes that historically specific urban vision in all its richness. Finally, in Picturing the City, we have the study these painters have long deserved. And we gain new and delightful access to New York City at the moment of its emergence as a compelling embodiment of metropolitan modernity."—Thomas Bender, Director, International Center for Advanced Studies, New York University "Picturing the City is both meticulous and wide-ranging in its assessment of the Ashcan artists and their passionate efforts to represent New York. It charts their pleasures and problems, warmth and prejudices, generosity and differences, originality and formula. It takes seriously their habits as journalists and provides the most complete sense of their immersion in a world of urban spectatorship and vision. Rebecca Zurier has written a wonderful, timely book that will be a benchmark for any future discussions of them."—Anthony W. Lee, author of Picturing Chinatown: Art and Orientalism in San Francisco "Rebecca Zurier takes us on an intellectually exhilarating and breathtakingly beautiful visual voyage through turn-of-the-century New York City as the Ashcan painters saw it. As we watch them learn a new way of looking in the commercially dynamic, sensual New York of a century ago, we too see that time and place with fresh eyes. Inevitably, thanks to Zurier, the way we look at city life today will change as well."—Lizabeth Cohen, author of A Consumers' Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America

Download or read book The Barnes Foundation Masterworks written by Judith F. Dolkart and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barnes Foundation, established by scientist, entrepreneur, and educator Dr. Albert C. Barnes in 1922, is home to a legendary art collection. Barnes assembled one of the world’s largest and finest groups of post-impressionist and early modern paintings, with holdings by such luminaries as Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rousseau, Modigliani, Soutine, Manet, Monet, Seurat, Degas, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. The Foundation’s collection also holds significant examples of American art, including works by Demuth, Glackens, and the Prendergasts; African sculpture; Native American ceramics, jewelry, and textiles; Asian paintings, prints, and sculptures; medieval manuscripts and sculptures; Old Master paintings by El Greco, Rubens, Titian, and others; ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art; and American and European decorative arts and metalwork. The presentation of the collection reflects Barnes’s educational and aesthetic approach: symmetrical “ensembles,” or wall compositions, combine works of different periods, mediums, cultures, and styles for the purpose of comparison and study. Texts by Judith F. Dolkart and Martha Lucy explore the Barnes Foundation’s collection, educational mission, ensembles, and individual works. Large color plates, little-seen archival photographs, and numerous gatefolds illustrate 150 of the greatest hits of the collection and twenty gallery ensembles.
