Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Painters and Their Pictures The present universal interest in the subject of historic art and the indications that very soon it will hold equal importance in our school curriculums with those of general history and literature, are sufficient excuse for the making of a new book which treats of the world's painters and paintings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Pictures and Their Painters Never has France been dearer to us than she is today. And never have we longed more deeply to know more about her people. Our boys and her boys lie side by side over there. The underlying cause that brought them together was the same, and very quickly they recognized in each other the spirit that was theirs in common. This spirit rose above the trench and the battle front and gave them, sometimes in pathos and sometimes in fun, pictures that appealed to each alike. And after all what goes deeper into our hearts than the pictures of a nation? Fortunately genius in any line of art is not circumscribed by a particular language, for it speaks a tongue of its own understandable to like geniuses among all people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Pictures and Their Painters Our people never were more keenly alive to the value of our native art; all over the country public galleries, dealers and private owners are giving more and more prominence to their American paintings and on all sides there is an awakened interest in American art.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Pictures Described With Anecdotes of the Painters It has been the endeavor of the author to fix the attention of the reader upon the painting itself - to tell something of its qualities as a picture and to impart some little idea of the painter's art. Besides this, there is much collateral interest in the pictures selected - interest directly related to things which every one must sooner or later know. The original paintings have touched the hearts and interested the minds of all classes and conditions of men; and they form one of the great magnets that annually draw a vast army of travelers across seas and continents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Painters, Pictures and the People This incontrovertible condition at once places a twofold responsibility upon the artist, for, while working primarily to be respected in his profession, he must please a sometimes very fickle public besides. Take some other artistic profession-that of the architect, for instance for contrast; the architect may ignore the public, usually, and produce entirely for the satisfaction of his Single client and the relatively small number of his fellow architects. It is dif ferent with the painter. It is very perplexing, to the artist and public alike, that their two judg ments differ so widely - to the artist, who can not understand what he calls the whims Of the public, and much more to the public, which finds only very few painters to its liking, and then not always those the profession would put on a pedestal.

This book was released on 2018-11-24 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Impressionist Painters The publication of my lecture on the Impressionist Painters and their haunt, the cafe of the Nouvelle Athenes, carries my thoughts to you, and by a natural association of ideas; for was it not in the Cock Tavern in Fleet Street that Sickert introduced us one evening twenty years ago You were sitting in one of the compartments, the third on the left, eating your dinner. But I have for gotten whether Sickert took me to the Cock to meet you or whether we met you there by accident. My forgetfulness on this point will seem a matter of slight importance to those who have not chosen memory for their religion. Those who have will understand how re grettable is a broken link in the chain. It would seem a little fatuous for me to write asking you if you could supply the link, but even if you could the chain would not be the same; borrowed links never fit; if they did we should remember that they were borrowed. Some will think this subtle psychology, but many will agree with me that no man's memories can be replenished from another's. As I sit, pen in hand, my thoughts wander from you to Sickert, and his character suggests that we must have come there by appointment to meet you, for we know how anxious Sickert is that his friends should know each other and learn to love each other. A good soul, whose hospitality extends even to his friends! You were then a young painter, quite un suspected by the public which is interested in prices rather than in pictures. Your talent was just beginning to light up, for it was about that time you painted the pensive girl in the black hat - a barmaid was she not at the Earl's Court Exhibition - the girl whom I picked out as one appealing specially to me from the many canvases in your studio high up, at the top of five flights -of black stone stairs overlooking the Addison Road Station. You were poor at that time, so was I, unable to buy a picture however slight the price might be. But artists give each other their pictures, and you proposed to give me that one, and I took it away in its white Whistlerian frame (for that frame I think I insisted on paying you); and the picture hung for many years in my rooms in King's Bench Walk; it now hangs here, on my staircase, and you will be glad to learn, though I have often told you before now - but no one minds listening to tales told twice if they are pleasant ones - that during all these long years I have never once disparaged that picture either to my acquaintances - who have not always admired it - or to myself. And you know, my dear friend, how changing men's loves are. Some say that mine are always changing, but you and I know that that is not true.

Download or read book Sketches of Great Painters for Young People Classic Reprint written by Colonna Murray Dallin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Great Painters for Young People Pictures should play an important part in the edu cation of young people. The study of the art treasures of the world, revealing, as they do, the thoughts and feelings of great men of all ages and climes, helps greatly in the development of mind and character. Such study not only is a source of pleasure, but leads to a deeper knowledge of nature and of life, for the artist stands as an interpreter between nature and man. The primary object of this book is to interest young people in the lives and the works of some of the mas ters of painting. A secondary object is to aid them in making collections of photographs. This work is of real value to them, and they should be encouraged in it, for it is through familiarity with pictures that one learns to understand and love them. At the end of the book is placed a list of pictures, photographs of which are recommended for mounting. In choosing photographs, care should be taken to select those which are reproductions from the original pic tures, and not from engravings or copies. The photo graphs recommended for mounting and many others mentioned in the volume may be obtained of Messrs. C. H. Dunton Co., Boston, Mass, to whom thanks are due for their courtesy in supplying many of the photographs used in illustrating this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women Painters of the World: From the Time of Caterina Vigri, 1413-1463, to Rosa Bonheur and the Present Day As examples in art of complete womanliness, mention may be made of two exquisite portraits by Ma dame Le Brun, in which, whilst representing her little daughter and herself, the painter discloses the inner essence and the life of maternal love, and discloses them with a caressing playfulness of passion unattainable by men, and sometimes unappreciated by men. Here, indeed, we have the poetry of universal motherhood, common to the household hearts of good women the wide world over. Such pictures may not be the highest form of painting, but highest they are in their own realm of human emotion; and they recall to one's memory that truth in which Napoleon the Great ranked the gentler sex as the most potent of all creative artists. The future destiny of children, said he, is always the work of mothers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dutch Painters of the Nineteenth Century written by Max Rooses and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dutch Painters of the Nineteenth Century: With Biographical Notices When the publisher asked me to write an introduction to this work I gladly accepted his invitation; nor was I long in seeking my material. The book comprises a series of articles, by various well-known writers, on the life and works of the most celebrated Dutch painters of this century. The contributors are personal friends of the artists themselves, in whose studios they have seen many of the works which they describe, and from whose lips they have heard the facts they here relate. There was no doubt therefore what my introduction should contain. Each of the biographical sketches, which are brought together in this volume, stands by itself. The various pictures are treated separately, each filling its own particular frame, as though it had neither predecessors nor successors nor yet contemporaries and belonged to no school but its own. Yet we know that not even the greatest and most original artist can escape from the influence of his time and surroundings; can be com pletely and fairly judged, if separated from what precedes and environs him. His greatness is discovered by contrast; his achievement is recognized when compared with that of others; his importance is gauged by what others have done, whether they be greater or less than himself. My Object will be therefore to point out' the threads which bind the modern painters together, and their connexion with the older school as well as their lines of divergence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Great Artists IN trying to interest the children of our own school in some of the world' s great pictures and the artists who painted them, we felt the need of reading material on the subject. We searched for it, but found nothing that could be put into the hands of young children. The sketches contained in this book were then written. The lessons given are intended for supplementary reading in the third and fourth grades. We suggest that picture study precede the reading in class of each sketch. The abundance of good copies of the masterpieces of art, which may be obtained at a very small price, makes the accomplishment of this easy. A. Picture never fails to arouse the interest of a child. Through good pictures he may be taught to recognize and appreciate the beautiful in art. May we not hope that this will lead him to an appreciation of the good and the beautiful in whatsoever form it may be presented to him?

Download or read book American Painters of Yesterday and Today Classic Reprint written by Frederic Fairchild Sherman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Painters of Yesterday and Today I do not wish to convey the impression of being insensible to the merits of the large canvases - they are too obvious to permit of their being overlooked by anyone who is at all sensitive to what is most truly beautiful in contemporary American landscape art. In suggesting minor faults which one finds in some, I do not mean to imply that they are common evenin the large canvases or that the smaller pictures which I have chosen to write about here are faultless. However, any inaccuracy in interpretation in a land scape of considerable dimensions is, simply because it involves so much in the way of mere representation, seemingly exaggerated, while a similar defect in a small painting is less likely to be discovered except as one studies it closely. I am not sure either that it is not true that in working a painter senses an inaccurate rendering in a small picture more often than in a large canvas, in the elaboration of which he is absorbed by subtleties of mood and emotion rather than by problems of actiial representation. Thus Murphy's miniature landscapes have, I believe, a more definite aspect of reality while his larger pic tures appeal to us more particularly because of their successful embodiment of spiritual values.

The book is not, and could not well be, exhaustive in its nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Modern Artists and Their Work At last, at about the age of one-and-twenty, the patient student was found ripe for painting in Rome. There he worked for some three years, and there, at the age of twenty-four, he produced the picture which established him suddenly but surely in England as a famous man. The Procession of Cimabue's Madonna was Mr. Leighton's first Academy picture. The name of the young continental student was not known here, and his work was an almost unparalleled surprise. The exquisite serenity of the treatment at a time in which Art was tawdry when it was in any sense decorative; the chaste and cool colour at a period when somewhat garish hues prevailed; the lofty sense of beauty in a day of prettiness; in a word, the inspiration of mediaeval Florence shining upon Trafalgar Square the thing was altogether unexpected, as new in its style as in its merits. In spite of the admiration excited, and of the fact that the picture of the year Was bought by the Queen, the young painter fled from the scene of his brilliant de'but, and, during a residence of some years in Paris, gained from study and practice an increase in technical skill, and from Ary Scheffer an addition of sentiment.
