Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Sculpture Much that might properly occur in the preface of this book will be found in its opening chapter. I there set out. The ground to be covered, and define the point of view from which I have treated my facts. These few remarks will, accordingly, be addressed to any who may think that a work bearing the title A History of Sculpture requires a word of introduction. My justification for the title and, indeed, for the work as a whole, is that I have not attempted to write a new text-book. In my view, all great art is essentially national art. It can therefore only be understood in the light of national and international history. For this reason, I have given much more attention to the artistic interpreta tion of historical events and social circumstances than most historians of the arts have deemed necessary. Throughout I have written from the standpoint of one who believes that the great schools of sculpture were created, not by individuals of genius, but by the peoples to whom they appealed. A work written on these lines can fairly claim to be A History of Sculpture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of Ancient Sculpture Classic Reprint written by Lucy Myers Mitchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient Sculpture Fragments of a great artistic past have come down to us, now torn from their original surroundings, and wrapped in mystery to our changed modern world. For centuries these monuments have lain buried beneath the soil, or, when visible, have too often suffered sadly from neglect. Sundering from this vast treasure what belongs to the plastic art, we find the sculptural monuments widely scattered, and often hopelessly isolated, so that a feeling of discouragement will sometimes come over one attempting to solve the riddles propounded. Here it is that the archaeologist comes to our aid, with his new-born science, which dates hardly farther back than the days of Winckelmann; and bringing to bear upon his subject the patient labor of the excavator and of the conscientious collector, the resources of profound learn ing and of a comparative spirit, and the breadth of a scientific vision which is able to classify and group the sundered fragments, he makes the dis jointed members more and more parts of an organic whole.

Download or read book A History of Greek Sculpture Vol 2 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Alexander Stuart Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greek Sculpture, Vol. 2 of 2 IT may be that an acquaintance with the personality of an artist, does not promote in the end a true judgment of his work. But we cannot deny that it has often furnished the pages of the historian with charm and vivacity. The History of Greek Sculpture presents no such opportunity. It has no Lives to beguile the student along an arduous path. Only here and there an incident, handed down on mostly a dubious authority, breaks the narrative of work done and the examination of what remains of it to our day. The sculptors of ancient Greece seem to have lost themselves in their art, and this might have been a less misfortune for us, if it also had not since their time disappeared in a great measure.

In dealing with the later portion of the history of sculpture, I have endeavoured to follow the same principles as in the earlier portion, and consequently I am again precluded from the discussion of many interesting problems as to which I do not feel justified in expressing a dogmatic opinion, while I have not space to give, even in summary, the arguments on each side. I regret that I am unable to fulfil my conditional promise Of an appendix on the discoveries of the French excavators at Delphi, no Official publication having as yet been issued.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Sculpture, Painting, and Architecture It is only bespeaking that share of confidence due, in the first instance, to opportunities of research, to state, that in the following pagesnot a single work of art is made the sub ject of criticism, the original of which the author has not seen and examined. Indeed, the substance of his remarks is gen erally transcribed fi'om notes taken with the statue, or picture, or building, before him. The best authorities, also, have been consulted, and such as from their price or rarity are within reach of few readers. The historical details of Classic Art are chiefly the result of inquiries connected with a work on Grecian Literature, the composition of which has long engaged his hours of leisure. J. S. M.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of the History of Painting HE Object of this series of text-books is to provide concise teachable histories of art for class-room use in schools and colleges. The limited time given to the study of art in the average educational institution has not only dictated the condensed style of the volumes, but has limited their scope of matter to the general features of art history. Archaeological discussions on special subjects and aesthetic theories have been avoided. The main facts of history as settled by the best authorities are given. If the reader choose to enter into particulars the bibliography cited at the head of each chapter will be found helpful. Illustrations have been introduced as sight-help to the text, and, to avoid repetition, abbreviations have been used wherever practicable. The enumeration of the principal works of a school, or period, and where they may be found, which follows each chapter, may be serviceable to trav elling students in Europe.

Download or read book Greek Roman Sculpture Classic Reprint written by A. Furtwängler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Roman Sculpture This convenient small edition of the M onurnents of Greek and Roman Sculpture just published in folio form appears in accordance with the wishes of a large number of professors and teachers of higher education in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It should enable both teacher and student to form an idea of the contents of the large work. The explanations and descriptions have been revised and improved by the authors, and translations of all the quota tions in foreign languages have been added. The text is divided into ten groups arranged from an historical point of view and in regard to subject. Each of these groups is preceded by a new collective sketch which aims at a com prehensive View of the various examples from a broad and generalised standpoint. But at the same time the work still preserves its character as a collection of monuments and does not pretend to take the place of a complete history of the subject. These short article's are merely intended to give to each example its proper position in relation to the development Of antique art. As all the principal periods are here presented the text Of the groups constitutes a survey of the whole development of Greek and Roman sculpture. Quotations from modern authors have been almost entirely avoided; only ancient writers are introduced in relevant passages. The Special demands of schools and wider circles of cultured people have been kept in mind. The pictorial part of the work has also been increased in this edition by one or two examples. The two authors have worked on a mutually arranged plan in equal parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hand Book of Greek and Roman Sculpture Classic Reprint written by D. Cady Eaton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book of Greek and Roman Sculpture As the Berlin Museum contains casts of all well-known ancient statues the Bausteine starts at the beginnings of Greek sculpture, gradually unfolds the principles that led to its perfect development, and follows it through degen cracy to its end. I have undertaken to translate and edit selections from the Bausteine to meet the taste that is happily beginning to show itself in this country. My book may serve asa catalogue where casts are already collected; it may also serve as a guide to societies interested in forming collections, for in selecting I have sought for the most typical examples. A few descriptions are taken from other sources. Of these the majority relate to works discovered, or investi gated, since the Bausteine was published. It is evident that the descriptions should be read in the presence of the objects, or of good representations of them; casts or photographs, for instance. The ordinary cuts with which books on art are ordinarily illustrated may serve for purposes of recognition, but they are so misleading and hurtful that I do not recommend their use. It is further evident that if the art-student would derive all possible benefit from this work he will study the statues in their chronological order. I' I take great pleasure in thus publicly thanking Mr. Alfred L. Ripley, of the Yale faculty, for his kind, valuable, and indispensable assistance in preparing this edition for the press. It is a happy thing that Greek sculpture is beginning to receive deserved attention in this country; for there is no better assured process for purifying taste than that offered by its study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of Sculpture The term classical, for instance, which is used to denote a school of itself in opposition to Gothic art, or to work of a realistic character, is a very misleading term, and used always in a loose and vague way. In literature the use of the word is more limited and its sense better defined but nevertheless even here there is in some sense a vagueness about its application.

Download or read book History of Art written by Elie Faure and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Art: Ancient Art For a comparison of the older and the newer views of art history, the reader can scarcely be referred to anything clearer than M. Faure's own discussion in the preface to the new edition of this work (page xxxv). His brief reference there to the synoptic tables at the back of each volume may be supplemented by the assurances received from various close students of the special schools and epochs, who agree in vouching for the thoroughness with which this most objective com pilation of names and dates has been made. A refer ence chart is thus constantly before the reader, serving him as a road map does a traveler. The text of most art histories does little more than amplify such tables. The characteristic which distinguishes Elie Faure's History of Art is that it shows the mass of facts func tionally - as the living brain and heart of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Elementary History of Art: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting by N. D'Anvers was originally created for the sole purpose of expanding the fine art education of the people of America and England. Faced with her personal experience of standing by while "great ignorance prevailed amongst the general public as to the technical and intellectual history of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting," D'Anvers became resolute in her determination to advance cultural literacy. This perceived flaw in fine art education compelled her to create a book intended to expand on the subject of art and illuminate her readers' minds. The popularity of D'Anvers book is obvious not only in the multitude of people familiar with it but also with the number of reprints/editions the general public have requested over time. A wonderful resource for anyone interested in art and art history, this book presents a well-spring of information to enlighten even a novice art enthusiast. The book contains articles for a wide variety of subjects and presents a glossary of terms early into the text to prepare readers for terminology they will come across in the text. The book also hosts a wonderful array of illustrations to help further the reader's understanding of art and increase their cultural literacy. An Elementary History of Art: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting eagerly encompasses N. D'Anvers goal of educating the public on all things art. D'Anvers single-handedly achieved her goal to emphasize the importance of art in culture with this publication, a feat not easily obtained but one that has helped to promote the education and preservation of art. This book is a wonderful addition to any library intended for readers interested in art, art history, architecture, and education.
