Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prospects of Art in the United States: An Address Before the Artists Fund Society of Philadelphia, at the Opening of Their Exhibition, May, 1840 The fact, that, as associated Artists, you are con scious of sufficient strength to assume the entire management of your own interests, is, in itself, cheer ing. For if it be true, that since The Painters of Siena were chartered in 1355, under those admi rable statutes for the government of the profession which, for truth and clearness, have never been sur passed, Artists have proved themselves to be the best judges of what the honour of the Arts may demand, it should also be remembered, that in their earlier infancy, they have always needed and sought kindly nurture from those who have the taste to admire, and the means to reward, what they have not the happy genius to execute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prospects of Art in the United States: An Address Before the Artists Fund Society of Philadelphia, at the Opening of Their Exhibition, May, 1840 I know that I express the feelings of many others, in congratulating you warmly on the prosperity of your Association. The opening of your new and commodious Hall of Exhibition, on a site very generously secured to you by the Academy of Fine Arts, with the rich collection of your own more recent and beautiful works now arranged within it, gives assurance of your successful zeal in the past, and war rants the best hopes for the future. You need no longer complain that you are without a resting place and home, and the scandal of seeming alienation between a Society of Artists and a Society of the friends of Art, has ceased. We now see that, though there may be different views of policy, a sincere desire to promote the healthful growth of Art, binds you together in a union, perhaps the stronger, because without a literal covenant. Kind ness has been proffered, and kindness has been accepted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The Present Prospects of Social Art History

Download or read book The Present Prospects of Social Art History written by Robert Slifkin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present Prospects of Social Art History represents a major reconsideration of how art historians analyze works of art and the role that historical factors, both those at the moment when the work was created and when the historian addresses the objects at hand, play in informing their interpretations. Featuring the work of some of the discipline's leading scholars, the volume contains a collection of essays that consider the advantages, limitations, and specific challenges of seeing works of art primarily through a historical perspective. The assembled texts, along with an introduction by the co-editors, demonstrate an array of possible methodological approaches that acknowledge the crucial role of history in the creation, reception, and exhibition of works of art.

Book American Prospects  2023

Download or read book American Prospects 2023 written by Joel Sternfeld and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive edition of Joel Sternfeld's seminal American Prospects, featuring new photographs, and a revised format and cover First published in 1987 to critical acclaim, the seminal American Prospects has been likened to Walker Evans' American Photographs and Robert Frank's The Americans in both its ability to visually summarize the zeitgeist of a decade and to influence the course of photography following its publication. This definitive edition of American Prospects contains 12 new pictures, most of which have neither been published nor exhibited. Freed from the size constraints of previous editions, Sternfeld includes portraits and portraits in the landscape that elucidate the human condition in America. The result is a more complex and rounded view of American society that strongly anticipates Sternfeld's Stranger Passing series (1985-2000) and links the two bodies of work. A major figure in the photography world, Joel Sternfeld was born in New York City in 1944. He has received numerous awards, including two Guggenheim fellowships, a Prix de Rome and the Citibank Photography Award. Sternfeld's books published by Steidl include American Prospects (2003), Sweet Earth (2006), Oxbow Archive (2008), First Pictures (2012) and Landscape as Longing (2016) with Frank Gohlke.

  • Author : Julia Lowell

  • Release : 2008
  • ISBN : 0833045776
  • Pages : 43 pages

Download or read book State Arts Policy written by Julia Lowell and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State arts agencies -- key players within the U.S. system of public support for the arts -- face growing economic, political, and demographic challenges to the roles and missions they adopted when founded in the mid-1960s. This report, the fourth and final in a multiyear study, looks at state arts agencies' efforts to rethink their roles and missions, reflecting on what the changes may mean for the direction of state arts policy. Drawing on readings, discussions, and analyses conducted for the study, the author concludes that if current trends and strategies continue, future state arts policy is likely to focus more on developing the creative economy, improving arts education, and encouraging a broader spectrum of state residents to participate in the arts. To achieve these goals, state arts agencies will likely become more involved in policy advocacy, coalition building, convening, and gathering and disseminating information than in grantmaking. The transition to this future poses some risks for the agencies and for the arts community, but it also offers the opportunity to more effectively promote the conditions in which the arts can thrive.

Book United States Foreign Policy and the Prospects for Peace Education

Download or read book United States Foreign Policy and the Prospects for Peace Education written by Carl Mirra and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the United States' "age of terrorism" and the controversial involvement in the war in Iraq, U.S. policies toward diplomatic peace education are coming under increasing scrutiny. This book evaluates the prospects for effective U.S. peace education in the context of post-1945 U.S. foreign policy. The work first documents the disparity between U.S. pronouncements about protecting human rights and the country's systematic erosion of those rights in the international arena. Second, it evaluates the challenges that the war on terrorism poses for peace education and explores the importance of international treaties in upholding security. A final section explores new ways of thinking and relating that are ultimately necessary for the realization of nonviolent peacekeeping efforts. Designed as a resource text for U.S. educators, the text offers concrete proposals for addressing contentious foreign policy issues in the classroom and includes an appendix of primary documents and sample questions for easy use.
