1989 y.
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution, Ulster Museum
Description: `I am delighted to welcome this very fine exhibition of works from the Ulster Museum, Belfast, not only because it represents two centuries of distinguished artists from Britain and Ireland, but also because it is the outcome of several years of close collaboration between the Ulster Museum and the Smithsonian Institution`s Travelling Exhibition Service. I have no doubt that in the course of its travels around the United States, it will bring much pleasure to those who see it. I hope that it will also encourage them to visit Northern Ireland so as to discover its cultural richness at first hand`. Antony Acland There is an intimate and natural view of people and their environment that forms the character of British and Irish art of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This vision is most apparent in the medium of works on paper, such as those presented in this exhibition. The paintings and drawings reflect the discoveries of the natural world and… [detailed...]

Portraits of Bartolomeo Veneto

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis is the first English language monograph on Bartolomeo Veneto (c. 1480?1531), who worked in Northern Italy in an area bounded by Venice and Milan. The art made in this region is characterized by an intensity and richness arising from the various artistic personalities that enlivened the period and the vitality of exchanges that linked artists from widely separated cultural areas. An analysis of Bartolomeo?s works allows one to observe the vivid atmosphere of the period. Specializing in portraiture, he moved often to satisfy the demands of his clientele in the small and large courts in the Veneto, Emilia, and the Lombardy regions of the Po Valley. Over the course of his career, from his earliest dated painting in 1502 until his death, presumably in 1531, he produced a remarkable body of work. Characteristic of Bartolomeo Veneto is an interest in a refined rendering of details, particularly of clothing, and the inclusion of symbolic elements. This… [detailed...]

David T. Wellman
Portraits of White Racism

2001 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: First published in 1977, `Portraits of White Racism` advanced a distinctively sociological theory of racism. Based on five case histories, it critically assessed the prevailing social-psychological paradigm that equated racism with prejudice and provided an alternative interpretation. Racism, the book argued, could be understood as culturally sanctioned strategies for defending social advantage based on race, it was not simply the product of psychological abnormalities. The revised edition has two new features. The theoretical perspective is updated, taking into account recent theorizing in the sociology of racism. Wellman suggests that, like fifteen years ago, sociologists today still fail to view racism as a cultural and structural phenomenon. The new edition also assesses recent developments in American race relations. Based on new research, Wellman argues that both hate crimes in ethnic working-class communities and opposition to affirmative action policies at elite… [detailed...]

Portraits of a People: Picturing African Americans in the Nineteenth Century (Jacob Lawrence Series on American Artists)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Recently, a number of cutting edge African American artists have investigated issues of race and American identity in their work, relying on the use of historical source material and the subversion of archaic media. This scrutiny of little known, yet uncannily familiar, racialized imagery by contemporary artists has created a renewed interest in the politics of nineteenth-century American art and the role of race in the visual discourse. Portraits of a People looks critically at images made of and by African Americans, extending back to the late 1700s when a portrait of African-born poet Phillis Wheatley was drawn by her friend, the slave Scipio Moorhead. From the American Revolution through the Civil War and on into the Gilded Age, American artists created dynamic images of black sitters. In their effort to create enduring symbols of self-possessed identity, many of these portraits provide a window into cultural stereotypes and practices. For example, while some of these pictures… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThere is nothing cool or distant about Zoltan Jokay?s portraits. Revolving as they do around themes of intimacy, closeness, and the sense of being touched, both literally and figuratively, his images sometimes seem anachronistic, but that is part of their unique appeal. Jokay?s pictures are `self-images`: forming a personal visual language, they are a tool through which the photographer can approach his own biography, through which he can understand it and protecthimself against it. The son of Hungarian immigrants, Jokay grew up on the outskirts of Munich. In the early 1990s, he attracted attention via a series of portraits concerned with childhood as a period of vulnerability and loneliness, works that can be seen as reflections on his own early experiences. Remembering was followed by three more series during the next decade: Encountering, Growing Up , and Fremd . The portraits in these groups speak of the various… [detailed...]

Of particular importance was the revolution in transportation and communication by sea, with the concomitant growth in size and importance of the seaport. Despite growing awareness that the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were a formative period in the development of maritime art, there has been relatively little exploration of maritime prints.
