Book Description Softcover. Condition: VG. Blue & color illus. stapled wraps, 88 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a series of 2015-2016 exhibition of American landscape painting -- "the first exhibition to examine the evolution of the genre from the early nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth century in an inclusive, hemispheric context. Our goal has been to broaden the undertanding of landscape painting across the Americas by setting aside the confines of national visual traditions and their art histories in order to extend scholarly investigation and discussion beyond territorial boundaries. Expanding the parameters of our inquiry to encompass the hemisphere may appear, in retrospect, a simple and self-evident strategy. Yet it has proven unprecedented in our field, until now.": (intro) Presents 60 paintings in full color, by 56 artists. Includes brief artist bios. NOT the hardback, more fully expanded version emanating from this exhibition. Consists of only the intro and the paintings. Seller Inventory # 153661

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: VG. First/First. Beautifully color-illustrated boards with white lettering on navy blue spine. 280 pp. with 260 color images and occasional bw figures. With an introduction, Landscape Painting across the Americas: An Inquiry, by the three editors. The catalogue is divided into 6 sections: Land Icon Nation; Field to Studio; Land Encounter Territory; Land as Resource; Land Transformed; and Icon Nation Self. Each chapter contains an overview, at least two case studies, separate sections on individual artists/paintings, and more, all by different expert authors. "As nations in the Americas gained independence in the early 19th century, a pictorial landscape tradition emerged. By 1840, landscape painting had become the primary medium for articulating conceptions of land and nation in the development of North and South American cultural identity. Picturing the Americas offers the first comprehensive treatment of this genre on both American continents, bringing into dialogue the landscape traditions of artists practicing between 1840 and 1940. Includes works by U.S. artists Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Church, and Georgia O'Keeffe; Canadian artists Joseph Légaré, Frances Anne Hopkins, and Lawren Harris; Mexico's José María Velasco, Uruguay's Joaquín Torres-García, and Brazil's Tarsila do Amaral, among many others. Leading scholars offer a Pan-American perspective on these landscape traditions: essays consider the emergence of modernism, as well as how the development of landscape imagery reflects the intricately intertwined geographies and sociopolitical histories of the peoples, nations, regions, and diasporas of the two continents." Catalogue to accompany the exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), June to September 2015; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (Bentonville, Arkansas), November 2015 to January 2016; and Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo (Brazil), February to May 2016.
