Download or read book The American School written by Susan Rather and published by Paul Mellon Centre. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the changing status of American artists in the 18th and early 19th century This fascinating book is the first comprehensive art-historical study of what it meant to be an American artist in the 18th- and early 19th-century transatlantic world. Susan Rather examines the status of artists from different geographical, professional, and material perspectives, and delves into topics such as portrait painting in Boston and London; the trade of art in Philadelphia and New York; the negotiability and usefulness of colonial American identity in Italy and London; and the shifting representation of artists in and from the former British colonies after the Revolutionary War, when London remained the most important cultural touchstone. The book interweaves nuanced analysis of well-known artists--John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, and Gilbert Stuart, among others--with accounts of non-elite painters and ephemeral texts and images such as painted signs and advertisements. Throughout, Rather questions the validity of the term "American," which she sees as provisional--the product of an evolving, multifaceted cultural construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close look at a new installation by renowned contemporary artist Mickalene Thomas that marks the first time she has engaged with early American history Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971) has gained an international reputation for her dazzling portraits of Black women, as well as her large-scale installations that physically enfold viewers into lushly decorated, 1970s-inspired domestic interiors. This volume offers a window into Thomas's unique, multifaceted approach and introduces a new living room-style installation by the artist, in which she creates, for the first time, a homelike environment reminiscent of the pre-abolition era. In addition to period-specific textile patterns and other decorative elements, her installation incorporates a selection of small-scale, early American portraits of Black women, men, and children--from miniatures and daguerreotypes to silhouettes on paper and engravings in books--as well as a group of works by Thomas and other contemporary artists in a wide range of media. The book's essays examine both how Thomas's engagement with early American history opens up previously unexplored and fertile ground for her artistic practice and how this project constructs evocative spaces (both physically and textually) in which the lives of early nineteenth-century Black Americans can be recognized on their own terms. With an artist's statement and extensive photography that captures details of the installation, this presentation documents an exciting direction for one of today's most acclaimed artists.
