Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. Near Fine copy of the First Edition with a touch of shelfwear; dust jacket Near Fine. 'Thomas Eakins and the Cultures of Modernity is the first book to situate Philadelphia's greatest realist painter in relation to the historical discourse of cultural difference. In this study Alan C. Braddock reveals that modern anthropological perceptions of 'culture,' which many art historians attribute to Eakins, did not become current until after the artist's death in 1916. Braddock finds in the work of Thomas Eakins a lifelong engagement with aesthetic and social currents that extended well beyond his native city of Philadelphia, indicating the persistence of a worldly sensibility long after he had concluded his formative studies in Europe during the 1860s. Braddock shows how Eakins developed a localized cosmopolitanism all his own, based in Philadelphia but tapped into a global field of visual production.' - Publisher.…

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Dieses Buch unternimmt erstmals den Versuch, Thomas Eakins (1844-1916), den großen amerikanischen Maler des Realismus aus Philadelphia, in Bezug zu setzen zum historischen Diskurs über die kulturelle Differenz. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass Eakins noch nicht einem modernen anthropologischen Begriff von Kultur folgte, sondern dass seine realistischen Porträts von spanischen Straßenkünstlern, Amerikanern mit afrikanischen Wurzeln und südeuropäischen Immigranten noch eine vormoderne Weltsicht reflektieren. Er erforscht Eakins« Versuche, kulturelle Diversität ins Bild zu setzen in einer Zeit, die von Massenimmigration, Orientalismus, Tourismus, kommerziellem Verlagswesen und internationaler Verbreitung ethnografischer Objekte geprägt war. Dieses Buch beleuchtet die amerikanische Kunst am Vorabend des Kulturkonzepts von Franz Boas und anderen modernen Anthropologen. (Text engl.) 291 pp. Englisch.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Issues of ecology - both as they appear in the works of nature writers and in the works of literary writers for whom place and the land are central issues - have long been of interest to literary critics, and have given rise over the last two decades to the now firmly established field of ecocriticism. The essays in this volume, written by art historians and literary critics, seek to bring the study of American art into the expanding discourse of ecocriticism. ""A Keener Perception"" offers a series of case studies on topics ranging from John White's watercolors of the Carolina landscape executed during Sir Walter Raleigh's 1585 Roanoke expedition to photographs by environmental activist Eliot Porter. Rather than merely resurrect past instances of ecologically attuned art, this volume features essays that resituate many canonical figures, such as Thomas Eakins, Aaron Douglas, and Isamu Noguchi, in an ecocritical light by which they have yet to be viewed. Studying such artists and artworks through an ecocritical lens not only provides a better understanding of these works and the American landscape, but also brings a new interpretive paradigm the field of art history - a field that many of these critics believe would do well to embrace environmental concerns as a vital area of research. In highlighting the work of scholars who bring ecological agendas to their study of American art, as well as providing models for literary scholars who might like to better incorporate the visual arts into their own scholarship and teaching, ""A Keener Perception"" is truly a landmark collection - timely, consequential, and controversial.…
