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 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 Leonard and Reva Brooks written by John Virtue and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2001 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1947 Leonard and Reva Brooks left for Mexico where Leonard planned to study painting for a year. In Mexico they discovered a vibrant, sometimes even dangerous, society and a dynamic artistic community, unlike the mundane world they had left behind in Canada with its stale and unwelcoming artistic scene. Invigorated by their new environment Leonard and Reva ended up staying for over half a century, playing a key role in establishing San Miguel de Allende as a world-famous art colony. In this new biography, John Virtue chronicles the lives of these two important artists and offers an intimate look at these complex and creative people. Virtue describes how they were caught up in the McCarthy era of Communist witch hunts and blacklisted in the United States. He details their close friendships with luminary figures such as Marshall McLuhan, Earle Birney, and the Mexican art icon David Alfaro Siqueiros, as well as a host of others. As Leonard became a fixture in the Mexican art scene Reva's photography quickly garnered international recognition, applauded by photographers Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. In 1975 the San Francisco Museum of Art selected her as one of the top fifty female photographers of all time. With tales of deportations, shootouts, murder attempts, failures, and triumphs, Leonard and Reva Brooks is a biography of two creative people caught up in interesting times.
