DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe story of Thomas Gilcrease (1890-1962) is the story of the world's first oil boom, of a state in its formative years, of marriages and fortunes made and lost--but most lastingly it is the story of how the Gilcrease collection came to exist, and how Gilcrease Museum became an unparalleled treasure house now owned by the citizens of Tulsa, Oklahoma. With over 500,000 artifacts, pieces of art, and archival gems, it is a testament to one man's dedication and vision. In Thomas Gilcrease, the man behind that museum is revealed. Born in 1890, Thomas Gilcrease came of age at roughly the same time that Indian Territory became the forty-sixth state of the Union, in 1907. As a citizen of the Creek Nation, he received a 160-acre allotment near Kiefer--land located, as it turned out, within the famous Glenn Pool oil field. By August 1909, the forty-nine wells on this parcel were producing 25,000 barrels a month. Gilcrease and his wife began traveling the country, taking in art galleries and museums in New York City and the World's Fair in San Francisco. It was in Tulsa, however, that he purchasedRural Courtship, his first piece of art, and began a collection that eventually contained thousands As he advanced in age and his wealth increased, Gilcrease contemplated how to use his fortune to create something of value for future generations. In 1931 he told his friend Robert Humber of his decision: he would establish the Gilcrease Foundation, which would fund a museum, a library, and a home for underprivileged children. The ten essays in this volume, illustrated with more than 100 color images and rarely seen historical photographs, tell the story of one man's life and legacy. The contributors include present and former staff of the Gilcrease Museum and regular contributors to its journal. "Every man must leave a track," Gilcrease once said, "and it might as well be a good one."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis illustrated catalog of Thomas Moran’s field sketches includes an interpretive essay tracing the artist’s seventy-year career in the field; a chronological, stylistic, and geographical survey of his fieldwork; an illustrated checklist of the 1080 sketches in public collections. Moran is best known for his work in the American West during the post-Civil War expansion, particularly in what would become Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite national parks. Yet this virtuoso painter and draftsman also traveled in search of inspiration in Pennsylvania, New York’s Long Island, Florida, Wisconsin, Mexico, England, Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy, returning repeatedly to favorite subjects. An almost compulsive desire to sketch refined his innate skill as one of America’s finest landscape artists. Most of Moran’s known field sketches are reproduced here. As described in the introduction, “their range encompasses summary contour drawings of the spectacular topography of the American West, luminous watercolors that simultaneously fix local color and evoke the artist’s rapturous response to the natural world, and fully realized works that nevertheless preserve the intensity of Moran’s firsthand experience of his plein air subjects.” No serious formal study of Thomas Moran can be made without reference to this volume.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnglish summary: In addition to his unique abilities as a composer, poet, singer and performer, Bob Dylan (b. 1941) created an extensive oeuvre in the visual arts. His pastels entitled "Face Value" emerged in 2012. They show faces that are influenced by experience and circumstances. Dylan gives these portraits a surprising depth. He links his subjects to centuries-old icons, and thereby giving the sitter, despite their adversities in life, a special dignity. The catalogue of watercolors is supplemented by contributions from an art, musical and literary scholar, who analyzes Dylan's work under multiple aspects. German description: Neben seinen einzigartigen Fahigkeiten als Komponist, Lyriker, Sanger und Performer hat Bob Dylan (1941) in den letzten Jahren auch im Bereich der bildenden Kunst ein umfangreiches OEuvre geschaffen. Seine Pastelle mit dem Titel Face Value entstanden 2012. Sie zeigen Gesichter, die von einschneidenden Erfahrungen und Lebensumstanden gepragt sind. Dylan gibt diesen Portrats eine uberraschende inhaltliche Wendung, indem er an den Jahrhunderte alten Bildtypus der Ikone anknupft und die von den Widrigkeiten des Lebens gezeichneten, gleichwohl in sich ruhenden Personen ins Ikonenhafte uberhoht, wodurch er den Dargestellten eine besondere Wurde verleiht. Der Katalog der Aquarelle wird durch Beitrage eines Kunst-, eines Musik- und eines Literaturwissenschaftlers erganzt, die Dylans Werk unter verschiedenen Aspekten analysierenr
