Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. George Luks, et al (illustratore). "Edward W. Root, Collector and Teacher" is the title of the Exhibition catalog of the show mounted by the Fred L. Emerson Gallery on the Hamilton College Campus of artworks from the Root collection, October 1 through November 14, 1982. The catalog is interesting for the fine Introductory Preface to the catalog by Hamilton Professor of Art, William Salzillo; Professor Salzillo was director of the Emerson Gallery at the time of the exhibit. Interestingly there is a generous appreciation by Ruth O. Travato of Edward W. Root, who was the son of Secretary of War Elihu Root, which details Edward W. Root's development as an artist, teacher and collector. This is illustrated by number of photographs, including is one of Root with students, and also Root with his friend and mentor George Luks. A chronology of Root's life is provided. At the beginning of the catalog is a black-and-white reproduction of the portrait of Edward W. Root painted by George B. Luks. This is a special item for anyone who has connections to Hamilton College. From 1920 to 1940 Edward Root taught Art Appreciation at Hamilton. Thousands of Hamilton students arrived at a deeper understanding of art and what makes something art, through his profound love and universal knowledge of the field. In 1940 Professor Root stopped teaching (formally), and devoted his energy to building a collection of superb art. Considering his vast knowledge, and his impeccable taste, it is no wonder that the collection became renowned. There are numerous black-and-white reproductions in this catalog, really a small representation of the whole collection. What makes this catalog special is that there are quotes from Professor Root, himself, provided in the descriptive passages, in which he used his vast artistic knowledge to provide critical insight of the art; these include excerpts from letters, and teaching aids used by Professor Root. There are also excerpts of letters from some of the artists themselves. The art ranges from classic artists such as Rembrandt, Goya, Rodin, and Daumier, to moderns such as Maurice Prendergast, Charles Burchfield, Edward Hopper, Reginald Marsh and George Luks.

Medium: Watercolor A watercolor on paper painting by American Master artist George Benjamin Luks (1867 ?? 1933) measuring approximately 9 1/8 x 12 1/2 inches in a contemporary frame measuring approximately 15 3/8 x 18 5/8 inches. This is similar to Seated Nude with Bobbed Hair pictured here for teference only. A gift by Luks to Harley Manlius Perkins (1883 - 1963), a modernist painter in The Boston Five. In a lesser-known chapter of his life, Luks painted more than a dozen oils and watercolors during an extended visit to Boston in 1922 and 1923. Last origin Boston, MA. Good condition with minor tear upper center as pictured. Thanks for looking. George Benjamin Luks (1867 ?? 1933) George Luks was by most accounts a vibrant, energetic and unapologetically honest personality.?ÿ He would throughout his career translate this to his works which are perhaps best known for their portrayal of the less genteel sides of life, capturing the true character of average Americans during the turn of the century. Luks was born in 1867 in the city of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.?ÿ In 1884 he began studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz.?ÿ By 1889 he found himself at the Staatiche Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf but the structured class agendas ultimately did not suit him and he would travel to Paris and London in 1889 and 1890 to study the art there independently.?ÿ He returned to the United States in 1894 and in 1895 he secured work creating illustrations, comic strips and caricatures for the Philadelphia Press and the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.?ÿ In Philadelphia he would align himself with what was known as the Eight, a group of artists who focused on realistic portrayals of the darker and coarser side of American life.?ÿ Because of the subject matter and the dark tonalities of the art, this group was popularly known as the Ashcan School. He would continue throughout this time to work as a newspaper illustrator and in 1896 the Evening Bulletin would send him to Cuba as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War.?ÿ Later that same year he would move to New York and find employment as the foremost humorist for the New York World.?ÿ In the meantime, however, Luks?? painting skills were being rapidly honed and improved.?ÿ He focused his painting on portraits of poorer and working class professionals such as shopkeepers, peddlers and street urchins.?ÿ In addition to the portraits he would also sporadically capture common urban scenes of the streets and docks of New York.?ÿ In 1908 he exhibited with the Eight at the Macbeth Gallery of New York where the group??s dark and realistic portrayals created some controversy with the art establishment of the time.?ÿ Ironically perhaps, by the time Luks exhibited at the Armory Show in 1913, his formerly radical subject matter and style were overshadowed by the developing abstract movement.?ÿ Luks would teach at the Art Students League in New York from 1920 to 1924 and go on to establish the George Luks School of Painting in New York.?ÿ He died in New York City in 1933.

George Luks, a realist painter associated with Robert Henri and the Ashcan school, chose the crowded streets of New York City, and the urban and rural poor as his subjects. He is noted for his broadly-brushed paintings of miners, elderly women, immigrant children, and wrestlers. In a lesser-known chapter of his life, Luks painted more than a dozen oils and watercolors during an extended visit to Boston in 1922 and 1923. He was the guest of a former student, Margarett Sargent McKean, a cousin of John Singer Sargent and an aspiring artist. Margarett Sargent had been an apprentice of sculptor Gutzon Borglum in 1917, when she met Luks and began to study painting with him. By the late 1920s, she was painting strikingly modernist oils and began to exhibit her work at Kraushaar Galleries in New?ÿYork. In 1922 Luks, fresh from a sanitarium where he was recovering from a bout with alcohol and recently divorced from his second wife, visited Sargent. By this time she was married to Quincy Adams Shaw McKean, a private banker in Boston. She later recalled that Luks had come to visit her for a weekend, but had stayed for almost a year. Not only did McKean provide living quarters for Luks, she a.
