Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Good. American Paintings features over 100 masterworks dating from 1670 to 1960 from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The artists featured range from Copley, Whistler, Cassatt, and Sargent to Hopper, Marin, Gorky, and Pollock. Divided according to chronology and genre, each of the books fifteen sections begins with a thematic introduction, followed by short discussions of individual paintings. Certain introductions narrate a history of American painting--from the earliest years of the British colonies to the mid-20th century, touching on such focal points as the American Revolution, westward expansion, the Civil War, and the two World Wars--while others more specifically discuss genres such as history painting, folk painting, portraiture, and still life. The narrative touches on broader themes as well, such as the American artists relationship with European art, the establishment of indigenous painting styles, the role of patronage in American art, and the question of provincial vs. high art. Rich in both visual and textual content, American Paintings is a valuable and enjoyable resource for both the museum visitor and the general reader. Book has minor shelf wear.…

Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. 197 pages, colour illustrations; 27 cm. Exhibition held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, September 29, 1999 to January 16, 2000; and other venues. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** A survey of the American painter Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904), a member of the Hudson River School who jouneyed to Brazil, making memorable images of a tropical landscape abundant with orchids and other exotic fauna. *** "Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) had the longest career and produced perhaps the most varied body of work of any American painter of the nineteenth century. His prolific oeuvre ranges from American coastal marshes and marine landscapes to the lush tropical splendor of South and Central American landscapes, birds, and flowers. An independent thinker as well as a world traveler, Heade developed a singular approach to landscape and still life painting, adapting some elements of the style and practice of the Hudson River School to his own more Darwinian vision. While Heade had only a minor reputation in his own day and was completely forgotten for many decades after his death, he is now rightly regarded as an artist of great significance and originality, and as the only American whose landscapes and still lifes are equally important." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Seascapes, by Karen E.

The exhibition for which this book serves as catalogue to, included 73 works by this American master. Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) had the longest career and produced perhaps the most varied body of work of any American painter of the nineteenth century. His prolific oeuvre ranges from American coastal marshes and marine landscapes to the lush tropical splendor of South and Central American landscapes, birds, and flowers.

In this elegantly illustrated book, the catalogue for the second major retrospective of Heade's work in thirty years, Theodore Stebbins and his collaborators focus on the major themes of Heade's work: seascapes, salt marshes, landscapes, tropical landscapes, the "gems" of Brazil (as hummingbirds are known), passion flowers, orchids, and his late work in Florida. There are also chapters on Heade's critics and the development of Heade's painting technique. A perfect companion book to the catalogue raisonne on his works by Stebbins.…

Maxim Karolik loved Heade and gave the Museum many of his paintings as well as works by other nineteenth-century American artists. However, he had not acquired a large tropical landscape by Heade and the MFA purchased "Coast of Jamaica" in 1981, to fill this gap. The delicate handling of foliage, the luminous treatment of the sea, and the drama of the fast-moving storm make this painting a fitting addition to the Museum's unsurpassed collection of Heade's work.…
