Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Monuments and Myths is the first publication to examine the intersecting careers of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Daniel Chester French, the leading American sculptors of the Gilded Age. With rich new thinking and stunning photographs, the catalogue examines the role Americas most iconic public sculptur…es in the complex negotiation of national identity. Featuring essays by leading scholars and impressive new photography of highlights of the collections of two treasured historic sites, Aspet and Chesterwood, the book re-examines public monuments that have defined and defied notions of American identity. Focused on Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Daniel Chester French, the beautiful catalogue offers a critical look at the artists public and private works in the context of evolving ideas about race and representation, Indigeneity, gender, civic space, memory, and American history.

Hardcover. Condizione: As new. Small quarto. Hardcover. Matte illustrated boards. No jacket as issued. 127 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), facsimiles, portraits ; 26 cm. Frederic Church gained fame and fortune with his large, panoramic landscapes, which were public spectacles seen by thousands. This exhibition innovativel…y highlights his lesser-known works: intimate landscapes memorializing the dead, whose primary audience was often a handful of individuals. Church painted these memorial landscapes throughout his career, crystallizing nineteenth-century America's pursuit of spiritual transcendence through the natural world. For Church and his family, this ideal was vividly realized at Olana, his Hudson Valley home and designed landscape. Today, Olana remains largely unchanged, enduring as Church's quintessential landscape of memory"--From page [4] of cover.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Gustav Klimt (18621918) is renowned for his two-dimensional, ornamental works, which made him famous worldwide as the most important representative of Viennese Art Nouveau. This volume provides insight into the artistic influences of the great artists of Modernism who helped to firm his remarkab…le oeuvre. Vienna in 1900 the Vienna Secession, galleries, private art collectors and art magazines introduced the art of the European avant-garde into Gustav Klimts surroundings. The Viennese artist was open to the pictorial language of his contemporaries including Alma-Tadema, Minne, Rodin, Toorop, Hodler, Van Gogh, Monet, Khnopff, Toulouse-Lautrec, Whistler, Matisse and many others, and adapted elements from a variety of styles. The publication presents in large-format illustrations the works of Klimt and artists who were close to him, revealing significant and often surprising parallels. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. black & red pictorial boards w/ white printing. 142 pgs w/ color & bw illustrations. This catalogue complements Christiane Baumgartner's first major museum exhibition in the U.S. and offers an in-depth introduction to the artist's work at mid-career. Baumgartner is best known for monumental woodcuts, handcarved prints… that literally and conceptually expand the traditional boundaries of the medium beyond expectation. Leipzig-based artist Christiane Baumgartner (b. 1967) works at the intersection of old and new media to expand the conceptual and technical capacities of printmaking. Sourcing images from cinema and TV or from her own photographs and videos, she hand-carves woodcuts that defy convention and expectation. Often monumental in scale or undertaken in large series, the work is about speed and transmission, about human sight and its elusive capture, about cultural memory and modes of representation. Essays contextualise the work in relation to German printmaking and the Leipzig school; an interview with the artist surveys her praxis at mid-career. Exhibition: Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Wellesley, USA (21.9. - 16.12.2018). VG+ (light bumping, curling to corners.).

Hardcover. color pictorial boards w/ white printing. 470 pgs w/ color illustrations, bw. Paul Cezanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, and many othersbetween 1936 and 1956 the Swiss industrialist Emil Bührle (18901956) amassed an impressive collection of French Impressionism and more. As the owner of the largest weapons fac…tory in his country, he had close links to the world-changing events of World War II and the early Cold War. Initially, Bührle acquired works almost exclusively in Switzerland; then, from 1951 onward, he rapidly expanded his collection, thanks in part to his business contacts in the United States. This book illustrates the colorful history of the Bührle collection, which includes a total of 633 works, and examines its importance to modern art collections in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. The survey is complemented by contributions from a number of authors who reflect on seventy masterpieces in the collection, from the old masters to Picasso.--WorldCat. VG (crinkling, bump to spine tail; corners rubbed).
