Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Background With Figures: Autobiography of Cecilia Beaux' is a compelling firsthand account of the life and career of one of the most distinguished American portrait painters of the Gilded Age. In this memoir, Cecilia Beaux traces her journey from her early education in Philadelphia to her emergence as a peer to the likes of John Singer Sargent. With a keen eye for detail, Beaux reflects on the technical and aesthetic challenges of her craft, her experiences in the vibrant art circles of Paris and New England, and the deep discipline required to capture the character of her subjects on canvas.Beyond a mere professional chronicle, this work offers profound insights into the social and cultural milieu of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beaux provides intimate glimpses of the notable figures who sat for her, including political leaders, cultural icons, and family members, while discussing her philosophy on color, light, and form. 'Background With Figures: Autobiography of Cecilia Beaux' serves as both a significant historical document and a testament to the perseverance and vision of a pioneering woman in the fine arts, making it an essential read for art historians and enthusiasts alike.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A New copy, in original shrink wrap, of a title in which "This volume is the most comprehensive appraisal of Cecilia Beaux's talent in more than three decades. As such, it not only presents a range of the artist's strongest work but also offers a fresh understanding of her career by examining critical questions of gender, class, and the importance of place. The book accompanies a major exhibition organized by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta." Wear to shrink wrap if creasing and scratching. Small cut to shrink wrap does not look like it damaged the dust wrapper. Small ding along bottom of rear boards. Previous seller's price label remains on rear shrink wrap. Table of Contents:"Preface and Acknowledgments by Sylvia Yount; Lenders to the Exhibition; Director's Foreword by Michael E. Shapiro; Family Pictures by Sylvia Yount; Cecilia Beaux and the Rise of American Portraiture in the 1890s by Kevin Sharp; The Queen Stands Alone, by Nina Auerbach; Framing Beaux by Mark Bockrath; Catalogue of the Exhibition; Cecilia Beaux: A Chronology by Alison Bechtel Wexler; Bibliography; Index" Publisher's Description:"At the turn of the twentieth century, the celebrated American artist William Merritt Chase named Cecilia Beaux "not only the greatest living woman painter, but the best that has ever lived." While Beaux--unlike her contemporaries John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt--has not fared well in modernist-driven art history, her work has become the subject of renewed interest on the part of art historians, collectors, and general viewers on both sides of the Atlantic, and her forty-year career represents a compelling and under-examined chapter in the history of American art. Cecilia Beaux: American Figure Painter is the most comprehensive appraisal of Beaux's talent in more than three decades. This handsomely illustrated book presents a range of the artist's strongest work and offers a fresh understanding of her career by examining critical questions of gender, class, and the importance of place. It features substantive essays which examine Beaux's participation in the international portrait market of the 1890s, explore the artist's professional identity and changing fortunes through a close reading of key images, investigate Beaux's sensitivity to the framing and display of her work. An illustrated chronology of Beaux's life and work, compiled by Alison Bechtel Wexler, completes the study." "Description: 195 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm.".
