Download or read book American Watercolor in the Age of Homer and Sargent written by Kathleen A. Foster and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating story of the transformation of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925 The formation of the American Watercolor Society in 1866 by a small, dedicated group of painters transformed the perception of what had long been considered a marginal medium. Artists of all ages, styles, and backgrounds took up watercolor in the 1870s, inspiring younger generations of impressionists and modernists. By the 1920s many would claim it as "the American medium." This engaging and comprehensive book tells the definitive story of the metamorphosis of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925, identifying the artist constituencies and social forces that drove the new popularity of the medium. The major artists of the movement - Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, William Trost Richards, Thomas Moran, Thomas Eakins, Charles Prendergast, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Charles Demuth, and many others - are represented with lavish color illustrations. The result is a fresh and beautiful look at watercolor's central place in American art and culture.

Download or read book In a New Light written by Tara R. Keny and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Schille (1869-1955), a native of Columbus, Ohio, was one of the most-celebrated watercolorists of the twentieth century whose work drew international acclaim. Her exhibition history and laudatory critical reception reveal her involvement in early modernist watercolor painting in the United States. In exhibitions her works hung alongside those of George Bellows, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, and Edward Henry Potthast, among others. For a variety of reasons, Schille and her work was relegated to the sidelines of art history. This work, based on new and extensive research analyzes Schille's life and art as it probes the myriad issues that women artists endured, which caused them to slip from the annals of art history.

Download or read book Home Front in the American Heartland written by Patty Sotirin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers a multifaceted exploration of World War One and its aftermath in the northern American Heartland, a region often overlooked in wartime histories. The chapters feature archival and newspaper documentation and visual imagery from this era. The first section, “Heartland Histories,” explores experiences of conscription and home front mobilization in the small communities of the heartland, highlighting tensions associated with patriotism, class, ethnicities, and locale. In one chapter, the previously unpublished cartoon art of a USAF POW displays his Midwestern sensibilities. Section Two, “Homefront Propaganda,” examines the cultural networks disseminating national war messages, notably the critical work of local theaters, Four Minute Men, the Allied War Exhibitions, and the local commemorative displays of military relics. Section Three, “Gender in/and War,” highlights aspects often over-shadowed by male experiences of the war itself, including the patriotic mother, androgynous representations in wartime propaganda, and masculine violence following the war. Together, this volume provides rich portraits of the complexities of heartland home front experiences and legacies.

Book excerpt: "A reminder that even the smallest newspapers can hold the most powerful among us accountable."—The New York Times Book Review Watch the documentary Storm Lake on PBS. Iowa plays an outsize role in national politics. Iowa introduced Barack Obama and voted bigly for Donald Trump. But is it a bellwether for America, a harbinger of its future? Art Cullen’s answer is complicated and honest. In truth, Iowa is losing ground. The Trump trade wars are hammering farmers and manufacturers. Health insurance premiums and drug prices are soaring. That’s what Iowans are dealing with, and the problems they face are the problems of the heartland. In this candid and timely book, Art Cullen—the Storm Lake Times newspaperman who won a Pulitzer Prize for taking on big corporate agri-industry and its poisoning of local rivers—describes how the heartland has changed dramatically over his career. In a story where politics, agriculture, the environment, and immigration all converge, Cullen offers an unsentimental ode to rural America and to the resilient people of a vibrant community of fifteen thousand in Northwest Iowa, as much survivors as their town.

Download or read book Winslow Homer Watercolors written by Donelson F. Hoopes and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most popular of all American watercolorists--and the artist who has had the most profound influence on watercolor painting in America--has always been Winslow Homer. This beautiful volume is the first study devoted exclusively to Homer's work in this medium. Published in cooperation with the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropoitan Museum of Art, the book includes virtually the entire Winslow Homer watercolor collection of both museums. The artist began in the English watercolor tradition--subdued color applied in delicate washes with discreet brushwork--but his vigorous, individual talent turned to the vibrant color, free brushwork, and bold, spontaneous washes that have since dominated American watercolor painting. The full range of Homer's work is encompassed in this volume: the subtle, controlled coastal scenes painted during his residence in an English fishing village; the powerful, deep-toned hunting and fishing pictures painted in the Maine woods; and the explosion of tropical color in his late watercolors of the Caribbean, the most famous and influential of all his work. Printed abroad, the color reproductions are unique in their fidelity to the paintings, which were photographed especially for this book under the supervision of the cooperating museums."--from Back cover
Download or read book In a New Light written by Kathleen A. Foster and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Schille (1869-1955), born in Columbus, Ohio, was one of the most-noted artists from about 1900 until the rise of Abstract Expressionism following World War II. She studied at the Columbus Art School, the Art Students League, and Chase School of Art. She lived in Paris where she associated with that city's art elite. She returned to her hometown where she taught at the Columbus Art School until about 1950. But she traveled and painted widely: Gloucester, Massachusetts; New Mexico; Central America; Holland; France; Belgium; England; and North Africa. She received myriad recognitions and awards, including at both international and nation juried exhibitions where she was compared favorably to Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent. She also taught such noted artists as James Roy Hopkins, Clyde Singer, and Ray Kinsman-Water. Yet, she is largely forgotten today, along with numerous women artists who were marginalized as the center of the art universe moved to New York City and favored Abstract Expressionism. In a New Light provides an in-depth study of her remarkable life and career.
