The nation's oldest artist honorary society has maintained a unique collecting principle: each member gives a self-portrait (or, until 1994, a portrait by a contemporary Academician) as well as an example of their work. By presenting artists' portraits in tandem with their self-selected representative works, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore how American artists have viewed both themselves and the worlds they depicted. The diverse selection of artists whose work is showcased here includes Frederic Edwin Church, Eastman Johnson, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Thomas Eakins, Cecilia Beaux, Isabel Bishop, Andrew Wyeth, Charles White, Wayne Thiebaud, Louisa Matthiasdottir, David Diao, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Peter Saul. Essays by a stellar roster of distinguished historians and art historians, curators, artists, and architects delve into single artworks or pairs of paintings, while others explore themes such the representation of landscapes and the figurative tradition in American art. Additionally, 17 current Academicians-visual artists and architects including Walter Chatham, Catherine Opie and Fred Wilson-contribute personal responses to individual artworks." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: For America: An introduction, by Jeremiah William McCarthy and Diana Thompson; A first teacher and the resonance of miniature paintings: Samuel F.B.

In that year, the National Academy of Design in New York began a series of annual exhibitions featuring works by 200 to 300 artists, and for decades afterward this venerable institution led the way in introducing important new talent to the art world. Until the advent of Modernism in the early 20th century, the Academy remained one of only a few venues to regularly exhibit contemporary art. Rave Reviews explores the role that these exhibitions played in the development of American art criticism and the dissemination and marketing of American art. Rave Reviews is the first book to combine essays on the development of art criticism with illustrations of many of America's best-loved masterpieces. Works by artists such as Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, Harriet Hosmer, John Singer Sargent, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Thomas Eakins, Anna Hyatt Huntington, John Sloan, and Charles Hawthorne are examined through the critical commentary of their time, giving readers a fresh look at the art world between 1826 and 1925." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: An introduction to the history of American art criticism to 1925, by David B.
