Condition: New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 224 pp. ; 81 ills. -- with a bonus offer--; In its day it was, quite simply, the worldâs largest painting. The Panthà on de la Guerr…e was a cyclorama the size of a football field, featuring 5,000 full-length portraits of prominent figures from World War Iâ"a painting that blatantly sought to arouse patriotic fervor in its viewers. This book traces that workâs shifting fortunes during its unlikely journey from Great War Paris to cold war Kansas City and examines the continuing journeys of its fragments in the worldâs art markets. Mark Levitch has written the first history and analysis of the Panthà on, capturing its social life in a story full of surprising twists and turns and as epic as the painting itself. Created in Paris as an artist-generated propaganda project while the war raged, the Panthà onwas celebrated there as a solemn and nostalgic work after the war, then was promoted as a circuslike spectacle on a postwar tour of the United States when it was âupdatedâ to appeal to Americansâ more celebratory view of the conflict. Consigned to storage and all but forgotten after World War II, the Panthà on was eventually procured for Kansas Cityâs Liberty Memorial in 1956, where less than 7 percent of the work was reconfigured into a smaller U.S.-centric muralâ"some of the unused fragments eventually surfacing in Paris flea markets and on eBay. Levitch looks at the Panthà on as both painting and artifact, combining cultural history, art history, and material culture studies to trace the changing reception of traditional art in the new age of mechanical media. He assesses the changing values attached to the Panthà on and argues that the panoramaâs status and frequent reshaping have both informed and been informed by the experience and memory of the First World War in France and the United Statesâ"and also reflects on how it has promoted a politically and culturally conservative agenda. Brimming with facts and insights that will amaze anyone who has known the painting in any of its incarnations, Levitchâs handsomely illustrated book provides a unique lens through which to view a conflict and its commemoration. And as people continue to place importance on commemorative projects, it is a powerful reminder of how ephemeral such grand undertakings can be.
