DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Museum of Modern Art is known for its prescient focus on the avant-garde art of Europe, but in the first half of the twentieth century it was also acquiring work by Stuart Davis, Georgia O’Keeffe, Charles Sheeler, Alfred Stieglitz, and other, less well-known American artists whose work sometimes fits awkwardly under the avant garde umbrella. American Modern presents a fresh look at MoMA’s holdings of American art from that period. The still lifes, portraits, and urban, rural, and industrial landscapes vary in style, approach, and medium: melancholy images by Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth bump against the eccentric landscapes of Charles Burchfield and the Jazz Age sculpture of Elie Nadelman. Yet a distinct sensibility emerges, revealing a side of the Museum that may surprise a good part of its audience and throwing light on the cultural preoccupations of the rapidly changing American society of the day.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fascinating story of the transformation of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925 The formation of the American Watercolor Society in 1866 by a small, dedicated group of painters transformed the perception of what had long been considered a marginal medium. Artists of all ages, styles, and backgrounds took up watercolor in the 1870s, inspiring younger generations of impressionists and modernists. By the 1920s many would claim it as "the American medium." This engaging and comprehensive book tells the definitive story of the metamorphosis of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925, identifying the artist constituencies and social forces that drove the new popularity of the medium. The major artists of the movement - Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, William Trost Richards, Thomas Moran, Thomas Eakins, Charles Prendergast, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Charles Demuth, and many others - are represented with lavish color illustrations. The result is a fresh and beautiful look at watercolor's central place in American art and culture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Here is a new, handsomely redesigned edition of a classic text. Charles Le Clair covers every aspect of painting in watercolor, giving advice on essential materials and providing sequential instruction in both traditional and special techniques." "But The Art of Watercolor is much more than a how-to-manual; it is completely unique among watercolor instruction books in that it is the only handbook offering a comprehensive course of study of the kind found in a university or professional art school; features the work of historical masters of the medium, including Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Paul Cezanne, along with work by such contemporary stars as Carolyn Brady, Joseph Raffael, and Andrew Wyeth; offers how-to techniques in the context of visual ideas, with technical explanations related to esthetic concepts; and combines studio information with art-historical comment as no other such book has done."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
