Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Modern Painting The aim of this book is to find out, and to set down as briefly as possible, the various currents or trends of modern painting, showing each one of these trends as illustrated by the work of a few eminent men. It is addressed to laymen in general, and primarily to the reader who knows something of famous work - some thing, let us say, of Titian, Watteau, Corot, Turner, and even of a few American painters - but who knows very little as to the various tendencies of modern art and is not yet familiar with the names of its leaders. To this layman I have endeavored to bring the move ments and the significance of modern painting, to gether with some idea of the work of the great men who stand for it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution in Modern Art: A Study of Modern Painting, 1870-1925 Almost without exception in the history Of art each fresh advance in painting or sculpture has been heralded by an outburst Of invective against the innovator. If an artist Shows us a new thing, opens our eyes to something we have not hitherto perceived, forthwith he is greeted with a storm of abuse. He is accused of insulting the public, of throwing a paint-box in its face, of ignorance Of the art he professes to practise. All this has been said of Rembrandt and Of Michael Angelo as well as Of Turner, Of Whistler, and Of Manet; and it has generally been said first by their brother - artists. The doctors disagree, but most of the patients manage to survive, greatly to the mystification Of their longer-lived contemporaries. Is there, then, no other criterion than time that can distinguish between the true and the sham. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painting The Ten o'clock contained a good deal of brilliant writing, sparkling and audacious epigram, but amid all its glitter and go there are statements which, coming from Mr. Whistler, are as astonishing as a denial of the rotundity of the earth would be in a pamphlet bearing the name of Professor Huxley. Mr. Whistler is only serious in his art a grave fault according to academicians, who are serious in everything except their art. A very boyish utterance is the statement that such a thing as an artistic period has never been known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

And modern art, like modern culture, is to be considered as a whole. The history of the art of our own country is not intelligible if one does not know of contemporary movements abroad. The gaze of the historian therefore must not be fixed upon one country alone, but must embrace Europe, - indeed, the whole world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painters, Vol. 1 Whatever I have asserted throughout the work, I have endeavored to ground altogether on demonstrations which must stand or fall by their own strength, and which ought to involve no more reference to authority or character than a demonstration in Euclid. Yet it is proper for the public to know, that the writer is no mere theorist, but has been devoted from his youth to the laborious study of practical art. Whatever has been generally affirmed of the old schools of landscape-painting is founded on familiar acquaintance with every important work of art, from Antwerp to Naples. But it would be useless, where close and immediate compari son with works in our own Academy is desirable, to refer to the details of pictures at Rome or Munich and it would be impossible to speak at once with just feeling, as regarded the possessor, and just freedom, as regarded the public, of pict ures in private galleries. Whatever particular references have been made for illustration, have been therefore confined, as far as was in my power, to works in the National and Dul wich Galleries.

Download or read book Classical Painting Atelier written by Juliette Aristides and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to paint more like Manet and less like Jackson Pollock? Students of art hailed Classical Drawing Atelier, Juliette Aristides’s first book, as a dynamic return to the atelier educational model. Ateliers, popular in the nineteenth century, teach emerging artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. The educational process begins as students copy masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. The many artists at every level who learned from Classical Drawing Atelier have been clamoring for more of this sophisticated approach to teaching and learning. In Classical Painting Atelier, Aristides, a leader in the atelier movement, takes students step-by-step through the finest works of Old Masters and today’s most respected realist artists to reveal the principles of creating full-color realist still lifes, portraits, and figure paintings. Rich in tradition, yet practical for today’s artists, Classical Painting Atelier is ideal for serious art students seeking a timeless visual education.

Download or read book Modern Painting written by William Huntington Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Painting: Its Tendency and Meaning In stripping art of its intriguing charm and its soothing vagueness it is not my intention to do away with its power to delight. To the contrary, I believe that only by relieving paint ing of its dead cargo of literature, archaeology and illustration can it be made to function freely. Painting should be as pure an art as music, and the struggles of all great painters have been toward that goal. Its medium colour - is as elemental as sound, and when properly presented (with the same scientific exactness as the harmonies of the tone-gamut) it is fully as capable of engendering aesthetic emotion as is music. Our delight in music, no matter how primitive, is not dependent on an imitation of natural sounds. Music's pleas urable significance is primarily intelleétual. So can painting, by its power to create emotion and not mere sensation, provoke deep zesthetic feeling of a far greater intensity than the delight derived from transcription and drama. Modern painting strives toward the heightening of emo tional ecstasy; and my esthétique is intended to pave the way for an appreciation of art which will make possible the reception of that ecstasy. With this object ever in view I have weighed the painting of the last century, and have judged it solely by its ability or inability to call forth a profound aesthetic emotion. Almost any art can arouse pleasing sentiments. Only great art can give us intellectual rapture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern French Painters F one wishes to explain house building to a child, it is best to show him how the foundations are laid and how the walls rise from them. So in trying to find an easy way to make a clear study of Modern Art, what it means and how it came about, I have tried to expose enough of the foundations to render easily intelligible the kind of house which has risen upon them. My intention has been to write a book not for the expert, but for the ordinary man who is interested in Art, or for the Art student who is still at the outset of his or her career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technique of Painting It is generally agreed that the bad preservation of modern works is due to the bad quality of modern paints Look what admirable colours the Primitives had! What were their marvellous secrets Who will give these back to us Such are the exclamations we constantly hear. Well, artists must be willing to make their mea culpa. As a fact, if they will choose in accordance with the indications you give, they have at their disposal colours a thousand times more brilliant and more enduring than those used by the old masters. Defective methods, due to the neglect of the technical study of colours from the day when the artist found all the products he wanted ready for use in a shop, are responsible for all the evil.

Download or read book History of Modern Italian Art Classic Reprint written by Ashton Rollins Willard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Modern Italian Art IN writing this book I trust that I have not taken a wholly one-sided view of my subject. I certainly have not been conscious of any wish either to de monstrate that the art-work of the period under con sideration was wholly good or that it was wholly bad. At the beginning I shared the feeling which we all have to some extent, that modern Italian art was degenerate, far removed in its standards and in its results from the art of the best period; but much study of the subject has led me to alter that view very materially. No one could have followed my line of work, step by step, without becoming convinced that the common feeling, to which I have alluded, was based to a certain extent upon prejudice and lack of information, and that a more generous attitude ought to be taken toward the men who, in the face of many discouragements, have so bravely struggled to redeem the art of the peninsula from the reproach which has been cast upon it.

Download or read book A Manual of Oil Painting Classic Reprint written by John Collier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improve your perception and use of colour in oil paint and gain many practical insights into techniques, set up and more in this fantastic book from the artist John Collier. Broken down into sections on the Practical and Theory of painting Collier is particularly useful for those looking to paint (or study) in his own Pre-Raphaelite style, although any student of oil painting would do well to study his techniques. The section on Theory discusses colour in a way very different to modern teachers, so while it may be difficult to understand for some others may find that it suits their mind and opens up new concepts. Collier was particularly well known for his use of colour, portraits and history painting, and his skills in these areas shine through in the advice he gives in A Manual of Oil Painting. This makes this little book a must read for those interested in the art of his period from both practical and academic perspectives.
