Download or read book Robert Henri s California written by Derrick R.. Cartwright and published by Grand Central Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is produced in conjunction with the exhibition Robert Henri's California Realism, Race, and Region, 1914-1925 presented by the Laguna Art Museum. The exhibition and this 130-page hardcover book constitute the first examination of the years the legendary American artist spent in California. The authors of this lavishly illustrated book are Derrick Cartwright, who organized the exhibition, a distinguished scholar of American art, and the Henri authority Valerie Leeds. Their essays challenge prevailing accounts of Henri's career, looking carefully at his motivations for working in Southern California while comparing this specific output to his broader oeuvre. The authors' close analysis of how Henri's painting changed as a result of his California travels reveals the lasting impact of this experience. This publication is enhanced by rare documentation, including selections from Henri's own illustrated correspondence, photographic snapshots of his time in the region, and other period texts. This publication represents a unique opportunity to assess an acknowledged master of modern American art in new terms and with important insights into his legacy for California art history. Robert Henri made his first plans to visit California a century ago. "Westward Ho!" he exclaimed in 1914 in a letter to his former student, Alice Klauber, who lived in San Diego. Henri's eagerness was rooted in his quest for new settings and fresh subjects. "I am now quite convinced that San Diego is one of the most interesting and beautiful places in the world and we shall head that way and will not be convinced otherwise until we have seen the place and have been turned away," he wrote. Henri arrived in June and spent most of the latter part of 1914 living in an Irving Gill-designed cottage above La Jolla Cove. During these months the New York artist gave demonstrations to local artist groups, sent canvases to exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, helped Klauber conceive of a complex fine art program for the Panama California Exposition then being planned for 1915 in the city's Balboa Park, wrote numerous letters to acquaintances in New York, and scripted theoretical texts about his aims for portraiture and exhibition practice. He also painted dozens of portraits of the local population, as well as at least one view of the Pacific Ocean swells outside his front door. After a busy summer and fall, he returned to New York in October of that year. Although Henri subsequently became a frequent visitor to Santa Fe, New Mexico, he chose not to return to Southern California until the summer of 1922, and then he stopped only briefly. He came just once more to the West Coast, in January of1925. On both of these latter occasions he remained in Los Angeles, painting portrait commissions for the families of local business leaders and some Hollywood celebrities. The artist's choice of sitters in LA sharply contrasts with his San Diego focus. A decade earlier his subjects amounted to a remarkable cross-section of the region's ethnic diversity. In La Jolla, Chinese-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Native American, and African-Americans had all sat for brightly colored portraits. While there are numerous studies of the artist's peripatetic nature-recent exhibitions have considered his travels in Spain, Ireland, and France, as well as New York, Santa Fe, and Maine-Henri's interest in Southern California has never been fully evaluated. The small select exhibition and this accompanying publication Robert Henri's California, Realism, Race, and Region 1914-1925 corrects this historical oversight, bringing together for the first time a number of the works that Henri produced during his sojourns in San Diego and Los Angeles. As statements of his complex realist ideas, the paintings relate a fascinating story of his shifting concerns as an artist and the developing face of the region.

Book excerpt: From the author of Aftershock and The Work of Nations, his most important book to date—a myth-shattering breakdown of how the economic system that helped make America so strong is now failing us, and what it will take to fix it. Perhaps no one is better acquainted with the intersection of economics and politics than Robert B. Reich, and now he reveals how power and influence have created a new American oligarchy, a shrinking middle class, and the greatest income inequality and wealth disparity in eighty years. He makes clear how centrally problematic our veneration of the “free market” is, and how it has masked the power of moneyed interests to tilt the market to their benefit. Reich exposes the falsehoods that have been bolstered by the corruption of our democracy by huge corporations and the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street: that all workers are paid what they’re “worth,” that a higher minimum wage equals fewer jobs, and that corporations must serve shareholders before employees. He shows that the critical choices ahead are not about the size of government but about who government is for: that we must choose not between a free market and “big” government but between a market organized for broadly based prosperity and one designed to deliver the most gains to the top. Ever the pragmatist, ever the optimist, Reich sees hope for reversing our slide toward inequality and diminished opportunity when we shore up the countervailing power of everyone else. Passionate yet practical, sweeping yet exactingly argued, Saving Capitalism is a revelatory indictment of our economic status quo and an empowering call to civic action.

Download or read book Parallel Modernism written by Chinghsin Wu and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This significant historical study recasts modern art in Japan as a “parallel modernism” that was visually similar to Euroamerican modernism, but developed according to its own internal logic. Using the art and thought of prominent Japanese modern artist Koga Harue (1895–1933) as a lens to understand this process, Chinghsin Wu explores how watercolor, cubism, expressionism, and surrealism emerged and developed in Japan in ways that paralleled similar trends in the west, but also rejected and diverged from them. In this first English-language book on Koga Harue, Wu provides close readings of virtually all of the artist’s major works and provides unprecedented access to the critical writing about modernism in Japan during the 1920s and 1930s through primary source documentation, including translations of period art criticism, artist statements, letters, and journals.
