American Realism. Språk: Engelska  Beskrivning: This lavishly illustrated book, surprisingly the first on the subject, explores the tremendous scope, richness, toughness, sensibility, and liveliness of the American realist tradition. Sixteen varied sections discuss and display the finest and most influential work of different groups, schools, and periodsbeginning before the Revolutionary War and including American Impressionism, the Ashcan School, Precisionism, American Scene painting, Urban Realism, Photorealism, and today's Postmodern Realism - and provide convincing proof that the American realist legacy occupies an unparalleled position in world art. In this important critical synthesis, Edward Lucie-Smith discusses the work of the pioneering masters of American realism, such as Thomas Eakins, Mary Cassatt, Charles Sheeler, Thomas Hart Benton, Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper, and Andrew Wyeth. He adds a major new dimension in his examination of the work of contemporary realist painters: those recently acknowledged as major figures, among them Isabel Bishop, Alice Neel, and Fairfield Porter, and those such as Wayne Thiebaud and Leon Golub, whose reputations and contribution only currently are coming to full appreciation. He includes as well younger artists like Eric Fischl and Jeff Koons, who have achieved star status within this innovative tradition. The book thus carries the story of American realism right up to the present, showing how it continues to flourish today as strongly as it has in the past. A magnificent volume, with more than one hundred color plates, American Realism both celebrates and reveals the power of a great American legacy. |

| The American Art Book is a guide to the most
influential and best-loved American artists from colonial times to the
present. Covering three centuries, the art ranges from Puritan portraits
to the luminous paintings of the Hudson River School and the American
Impressionists, to the videos and neon and digital works of today's most
intriguing conceptual artists. The American Art Book presents 500
artists in an A to Z format that departs from the usual emphasis on
genres and time periods: Grandma Moses sits next to Robert Motherwell,
and Winslow Homer faces Jenny Holzer, encouraging readers to contemplate
the connections between art, American history, and popular culture. Each
artist is represented by a full-page color plate of a significant work,
accompanied by an informative and engaging text that places the artist
in the context of contemporary movements and preceding traditions. The
book includes an easy-to-use glossary of terms and artistic movements,
and a directory of museums and public collections across the United
States and abroad with important holdings in American art, making it a
valuable reference work as well as a stimulating way to approach this
multifaceted subject. |

rarely seen--are gathered in one lavish and beautiful volume. Through the Lens is divided into geographical regions--Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, and Oceans and Isles--with a special section devoted to space exploration. Each geographical section features an outstanding array of photographs that exemplifies the area’s unique people, wildlife, archaeology, culture, architecture, and environment, accompanied by brief but informative captions. From Barry Bishop’s heroic Mount Everest climb in the 1950s to the glorious wildlife of Asia and Africa, from ancient Maya culture to the Afghan girl found 17 years after her piercing green eyes captivated the world, Through the Lens showcases some of the finest and most important photographs ever taken. |
