Download or read book Masters of American Sculpture written by Donald M. Reynolds and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the National Sculpture Society, this important history traces America's rich heritage of figurative sculpture from the Columbian exposition of 1893 to the present. Illustrated with outstanding examples of American figurative sculpture of the last century, this volume begins with an analysis of the influence of the Beaux-Arts tradition on the creation of the great public monuments of the young republic. With this background, the book moves on to survey important categories of sculpture chronologically. Equestrian monuments and countless tributes to war heroes are surveyed in one category. In another important grouping, author David Martin Reynolds surveys portrait sculpture. He also includes a section on medallic art, a category usually neglected in sculpture surveys. In another innovation, Dr. Reynolds devotes a chapter to American Indians, both as widely favored subjects for sculpture and as sculptors themselves. Not neglecting genre, the author deals extensively with the large group of sculptors who concentrated on animals. Finally he surveys the figurative tradition in the twentieth century and speculates on future trends in sculpture. Donald Martin Reynolds teaches at the School of Architecture, Columbia University, in New York City and is the author of many articles and books on sculpture, including Monuments and Masterpieces, which was favorably reviewed in the New York Times Book Reviews. 210 illustrations

Download or read book Graphic Masters written by Joann Moser and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphic Masters celebrates the extraordinary variety and accomplishment of American artists' works on paper. Exceptional watercolors, pastels, and drawings from the 1860s through the 1990s reveal the central importance of works on paper for American artists, both as studies for creations in other media and as finished works of art. Traditionally a more intimate form of expression than painting or sculpture, drawings often reveal greater spontaneity and experimentation. Even as works on paper become larger and more finished, competing in scale with easel paintings, they retain a sense of the artist's hand, the immediacy of a thought made visible. Ranging from Thomas Moran's Yellowstone and Childe Hassam's Appledore to Edward Hopper's river landscape and Charles Burchfield's intense abstractions, the watercolors express a breadth of experience from observation to hallucinatory imagination. Thomas Wilmer Dewing's meticulous portrait of Walt Whitman records not only physical appearance but gives insight into the sitter's personality as well. Vivid images in glowing color by Stuart Davis and William H. Johnson, as well as confident, black-and-white images by William de Kooning and Mel Bochner show the diversity of approaches our most accomplished aritsts have taken in their works on paper. -- from front flap.
