Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Augustus Saint-Gaudens in The Metropolitan Museum of Art 2009 softcover This bookrecounts the engaging story of a French-Irish immigrant who became the greatest American sculptor of his day. During his lifetime Saint-Gaudens (18481907) both contributed to exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum and served as an advisor to its staff. After his death the Museum continued steadily to acquire his sculptures. Today it owns 45 of the sculptor's works, ranging from delicate cameos and medals to innovative painterly bas-reliefs to stirring statuettes and portrait busts after Civil War monuments for East Coast cities. Thayer Tolles appraises Saint-Gaudens's groundbreaking position in the history of late 19th-century American sculpture and the Aesthetic Movement, and she also addresses his role in advancing American art on the international stage.

Seller: LEFT COAST BOOKS, Santa Barbara, CA, U.S.A.
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. xvi, 333 pages, illustrations (some colour); 30 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Amon Carter Museum, and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from March 14 to June 14, 1992 and at three other museums through June 13, 1993. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates. "In his short but productive career, William Michael Harnett (1848-1892) became the great American master of trompe-l'oeil still-life painting. His works, popular with the public long before they were appreciated by the art critics, 'fool the eye' with their convincing, sharp-edged definition of form and careful rendering of materials. This volume provides the first thorough examination of Harnett's career and its significance for the history of American art. Twenty-two essays by a roster of leading scholars examine three major areas: Harnett's relationship to his contemporaries, among them painters, patrons, critics, and the general public; his formative training and experiences; and the meaning of his themes for the audience that supported him. These essays discuss not only Harnett's own technical skill and artistic development, but also the aesthetic issues of illusionism and trompe l'oeil, Harnett's relationship to other painters working in a similar vein, and the implications of his subject matter. Ultimately, the essays help to resolve the question of how Harnett's technically skillful imitations of real objects fit the definition of "art" and what his popularity says about the culture in which he worked and lived. Each of the editors has written an essay for this volume; other contributors include Henry Adams, Maria Chamberlin-Hellman, Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr., Elizabeth Jane Connell, William H. Gerdts, Elizabeth Johns, Judy L. Larson, David M. Lubin, Chad Mandeles, Roxana Robinson, and Paul J. Staiti. The forty-nine works reproduced in full color and arranged chronologically provide the first comprehensive survey of Harnett's work. A bibliography, chronology, and thorough index add to the reference value of this handsome volume." - Publisher. CONTENTS: Approaches to still-life painting.

Softbound. Sixth. Black & color illus. wraps, French flaps, 96 pp, profuse color and BW illustrations. From the catalog: This sixth edition of Western Passages focuses on sculpture--an often overloked, neglected, and misunderstood form of artistic expression. Sculpture has all too often taken a backseat to painting, and this is equally true for western American art. Most everyone recognizes Frederic Remington's iconic bronze "The Broncho Buster." nut beyond this and a few other examples the familiarity begins to wane. However, when one surveys the quality and professionalism of sculptors working in western themes during late 1800's and early 1900's, the output is astounding. During this period in American art, sculpture could be considered the more popular medium given the significance and frequency of public commissions and the mass appeal of smaller bronzes.

Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Met's blurb notes: "At the turn of the twentieth century, artistic representations of American Indians, cowboys and cavalry, pioneers and prospectors, and animals of the plains and the mountains served as visual metaphors for the Old West and, as such, were collected eagerly by an urban-based clientele. Through some sixty-five bronze sculptures by twenty-eight artists, this exhibition will explore the aesthetic and cultural impulses behind the creation of statuettes with American western themes so popular with audiences then and now. In addition to representative sculptures by such archetypal artists as Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, the exhibition will explore the work of sculptors who infrequently pursued western subjectssuch as James Earle Fraser and Paul Manshipyet profoundly informed widespread appreciation of the American bronze statuette. The American West in Bronze, 18501925 will offer a fresh and balanced look at the multifaceted roles played by these sculptors in creating three-dimensional interpretations of western life, whether those interpretations are based on historical fact, mythologized fiction, or, most often, something in between.".

The Museum's holdings accurately document the history of American sculpture and its development as a profession, from the artists who lived in Italy and carved in marble and those who studied in Paris and cast in bronze, to those who worked only in the United States and were pioneers in the techniques of their art."
