Painting a Hidden Life: The Art of Bill Traylor

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Born into slavery on an Alabama plantation in 1853, Bill Traylor worked as a sharecropper for most of his life. But in 1928 he moved to Montgomery and changed his life, becoming a self-taught lyric painter of extraordinary ability and power. From 1936 to 1946, he sat on a street corner--old, ill, and homeless--and created well over 1,200 paintings. Collected and later promoted by Charles Shannon, a young Montgomery artist, his work received star placement in the Corcoran Gallery`s 1982 exhibition `Black Folk Art in America.` From then on, the spare and powerful `radical modernity` of Traylor`s work helped place him among the rising stars of twentieth-century American artists. Most critics and art historians who analyze Traylor`s paintings emphasize his extraordinary form and evaluate the content as either simple or enigmatic narratives of black life. In Painting a Hidden Life, historian Mechal Sobel`s trenchant analysis reveals a previously unrecognized central core of meaning in… [detailed...]

Painting in a World Transformed: How Modern Art Reflects Our Conflicting Responses to Science and Change

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book shows how painting since the mid?1800s has reflected Western society?s mixed feelings about the transformations in our world produced by science and technology. Neither a chronicle of the development of modern art nor a history of the modern era, it instead discusses how artists have represented feelings and ideas about the technological changes of modern times. Some artists approach this task with an outward focus, representing the world they perceive. Others focus inward, choosing to represent their personal reactions to that world. The author examines both approaches to show how major art movements of the last two centuries are related to the largest-ever changes in human knowledge. An analysis of 28 works reveals perceptions of technological change as both blessing and curse. The result of this analysis is a fresh view of the major artworks of the past century and a half, along with intriguing insights into our own attitudes towards our… [detailed...]

Their novel approach to the depiction of everyday life marked the beginning a trajectory that links the art f the Age of Revolution with the postmodern culture of today.What emerged from the imagery of Wilkie and other early 19th-century British genre painters—among them William Mulready, Edward Bird, and the controversial watercolorist Thomas Heaphy—was a sens that common people were increasingly bound up with the exceptional events of history, that traditional boundaries between country and city were melting away, and that a more regularized and dynamic present was everywhere encroaching upon the customary paterns of the past.

Painting the Dark Side : Art and the Gothic Imagination in Nineteenth-Century America (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Are Imprint)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionVoices from the dark, or `gothic,` side of American life are well known through the work of writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville. But who were the Poes of American art? Until now, art historians have for the most part seen the gothic as the province of misfits and oddballs who rejected the bright landscapes and cheerful scenes of everyday life depicted by Hudson River School and other mainstream painters. In Painting the Dark Side, Sarah Burns counters this view, arguing that far from being marginal, the gothic was a pervasive and potent visual language used by recognized masters and eccentric outsiders alike to express the darker facets of history and the psyche. A deep gothic strain in the visual arts becomes evident in these beautifully written, richly illustrated pages, illuminating the entire spectrum of American art. Weaving a complex tapestry of biography, psychology, and history, Sarah Burns exposes dark dimensions… [detailed...]

With his `Indian Gallery` of paintings and artifacts, he toured the United States and Europe, stirring up controversy and creating a sensation.Award-winning author Susanna Reich combines excerpts from Catlin`s letters and notes with vivid depictions of his far-flung travels.

Description: `Painting, Politics, and the Struggle for the Ecole de Paris, 1944-1964` is the first book dedicated to the postwar or `nouvelle` Ecole de Paris. It challenges the customary relegation of the Ecole de Paris to the footnotes, not by arguing for some hitherto `hidden` merit for the art and ideas associated with this school, but by establishing how and why the Ecole de Paris was a highly significant vehicle for artistic and political debate. The book presents a sustained historical study of how this `school` was constituted by the paintings of a diverse group of artists, by the combative field of art criticism, and by the curatorial policies of galleries and state exhibitions. By thoroughly mining the extensive resources of the newspaper and art journal press, gallery and government archives, artists` writings and interviews with surviving artists and art critics, the book traces the artists, exhibitions, and art critical debates that made the Ecole de Paris a zone of aesthetic and… [detailed...]
