'Thomas Eakins and the Cultures of Modernity is the first book to situate Philadelphia's greatest realist painter in relation to the historical discourse of cultural difference. In this study Alan C. Braddock reveals that modern anthropological perceptions of 'culture,' which many art historians attribute to Eakins, did not become current until after the artist's death in 1916. Braddock finds in the work of Thomas Eakins a lifelong engagement with aesthetic and social currents that extended well beyond his native city of Philadelphia, indicating the persistence of a worldly sensibility long after he had concluded his formative studies in Europe during the 1860s. Braddock shows how Eakins developed a localized cosmopolitanism all his own, based in Philadelphia but tapped into a global field of visual production.' - Publisher.

gebunden. Condizione: Neu. Neu -Dieses Buch unternimmt erstmals den Versuch, Thomas Eakins (1844-1916), den großen amerikanischen Maler des Realismus aus Philadelphia, in Bezug zu setzen zum historischen Diskurs über die kulturelle Differenz. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass Eakins noch nicht einem modernen anthropologischen Begriff von Kultur folgte, sondern dass seine realistischen Porträts von spanischen Straßenkünstlern, Amerikanern mit afrikanischen Wurzeln und südeuropäischen Immigranten noch eine vormoderne Weltsicht reflektieren. Er erforscht Eakins« Versuche, kulturelle Diversität ins Bild zu setzen in einer Zeit, die von Massenimmigration, Orientalismus, Tourismus, kommerziellem Verlagswesen und internationaler Verbreitung ethnografischer Objekte geprägt war. Dieses Buch beleuchtet die amerikanische Kunst am Vorabend des Kulturkonzepts von Franz Boas und anderen modernen Anthropologen. (Text engl.) 291 pp. Englisch.
