This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sources of Information in the American Graphic Arts Just as the doctor or lawyer must read, observe and listen to keep up with the developments in his profession, so the graphic arts stu dent, teacher, craftsman, or consumer must to follow the changes in the graphic arts field adequately. Since processes and equipment are continually changing and improving, it is imperative that sources of information pertinent both to every day questions and to future problems be readily available to persons affected by these changes. Each month at the Carnegie Institute of Technology printing department we receive requests for information from persons in all phases of the graphic arts. This leads us to the conclusion that the tre mendons mass of detail which constitutes graphic arts knowledge either is confusing or is difficult to retain. Therefore, rather than to expect retention of details and yet to clarify confusing points, what is needed is to incorporate source locations under one cover so that these sources may be readily investigated by anyone in the graphic arts. It is difficult enough to arouse and maintain professional interest without adding the obstacle of hidden source materials.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Graphic Arts: Modern Men and Modern Methods There are art schools that are taking up practical art and craft education, and there are artists who are teaching practically their trades, but many are doing harm to students, telling them how to make big money quick, and that is the aim of the people of this country - ignorant that art is the most difficult and most underpaid profession in the world. It is, however, for money that the immigrant comes, and the American still exists here. They know no better, but art is dying of thirst in a dry desert.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Home and Country By an older civilization than our own upon the susceptible nature of an artist; I am but stating Well known facts; but I think we are onlyjust beginning to be sensible of the deplorable lack of sympathy between our European-bred artists and the average American. Not all that even France can now offer to a young art student from the United States, not all that all Europe can offer him, compensates for the loss of the national quality, which, in works of art, means more than sentiment, more than personal allegiance to the ag, more than the national consciousness that we.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting: November 22nd, 1932, to January 5th, 1933 American Painting the Whitney Museum of American Art is following a precedent established by almost every important art museum in the United States of holding annually large and imporf tant exhibitions of American Art. An increasingly liberal spirit has broadened the scope of these exhibitions so that in recent years they have assumed greater importance to both artist and public. Believing that there exists in New York a need for this compre hensive type of exhibition in which the recent work of American artists may be seen under favorable circumstances, the Whitney Museum of American Art has established a series of exhibitions of painting, sculpture and the graphic arts, so that each year will bring one large exhibition. This year we inaugurate the series by the present show of paintings in oil. To make this exhibition representa/ tive of the various trends in painting throughout the country one hundred fifty/seven artists have been invited to contribute canvases of their own selection. This is a departure from the policy of other exhibitions similar in character where the jury system has obtained. Also, the Whitney Museum of American Art will award no prizes, but has set aside the sum of twenty thousand dollars each year for the purchase of works of outstanding excellence from the exhibi/ tions.

Download or read book A History of American Graphic Humor Vol 1 written by William Murrell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of American Graphic Humor, Vol. 1: 1747-1865 Not only to the historian but to the philosopher this book will be of deep interest. Surely it would serve as a basis for an inquiry into the special qualities of American mirth. Mr. Murrell traces the development from the days of Ben Franklin and Paul Revere, from those antique engravings crowded with allegory and explanatory remarks, through the evident influences of Row landsom, Cruikshank and Daumier, to such pencils of real genius as William Charles, Darley, Volck and Nast. It was not until commercial lithography became available about 1822 that the comic artist in America really had his large opportunity - though Mr. Murrell admits the uncertainty whether it was the new process or the controversial excitements of Jackson's presidency that accounted for the increased flood of pictorial satire about 1830. But one thought that must come even to the most casual turner of these leaves is the amount of strong flexible talent shown. And also, the amount of bitterness. All the powers of crude satire and grotesque insult are represented. In a History of Humor, what we usually imply by that term is singularly scarce. It is almost a History of Ill Humor. A Visitor from another planet, scanning this book in search of the American Spirit, would be forced to conclude (what philosophers have often suggested) that we are at heart a morose, unhappy people. It is true that the jokes which lend themselves to illustration are neces sarily the simpler and coarser kind. It is also true that in these earlier days the comic artist dealt with the Violent themes of politics rather than with the kindlier absurdities of social moeury. But make what deductions you please, there is a vein of ferocity in this first century of American caricature for which we have hardly any counterpart today. It will be fascinating to see what contrasts and new dexterities Mr. Murrell will reveal when he brings his purview down toward our own time and our immediate memories.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductions: Painters, Sculptors and Graphic Artists We have no particularly interesting facts about his parents or ancestry, but all his critics mention his surviving sister Mabel, the English actress, who was a sympathetic helpful comrade. When he was still a Child, symptoms Of tuberculosis, and a genius which overflowed into many fields of artistic endeavor, appeared simultaneously. In 1883 he was giving concerts with his sister in London. Shortly afterwards we hear of him reading omnivorously, starting a history Of the Armada, making clever caricatures of his mas ters at Brighton Grammar schooi, taking part in theatricals, drawing his first published sketches, and writing a farce which enjoyed the serious critical attention of the town where it was performed. He left school in 1888 and worked successively in an architect's studio and an insurance Office. Although many pictures of an earlier date exist, his career as a professional graphic artist may be said to have begun in 1893, with the publication of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'arthur, by J. M. Dent Company. In April of that year Joseph Pennell, the well-known American etcher, in troduced the new illustrator in the first number of The Studio. From that time forward the story of his life is an inspiring but painful journal of a dying genius, working feverishly and searching in vain for a climate which would give him the strength necessary to com plete his work. He died at Mentone on March 16, 1898, in the twenty-sixth year of his life, after having been received into the Catholic Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of American Music This series of books brings together for the first time the materials for a history of American art. Heretofore there have been attempts to narrate some special period or feature of our artistic development, but the narrative has never been consecutive 01' conclusive. The present volumes begin with colonial times, and carry the record down to the year 1904. They are intended to cover the graphic, the plastic, the illustrative, the architectural, the musical, and the dramatic arts, and to recite the results in each department historically and critically. That the opinions ventured should be authoritative, the preparation of each volume has been placed in the hands of an expert, - 0ne who practises the craft whereof he writes. The series is therefore a history of American art written from the artist's point of view, and should have special value for that reason.
