Seller's Description:
Fine. 0874748879. B & W and Color; 10 x 8 3/4; ix, 110 pages; Soft cover is oblong shaped, brown spine with white lettering. Pages are clean and tight; appears as if unused. Lavishly illustrated with 112 pictures, 15 of them color. 'There are few American painters who were as celebrated, successful, or influential as Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900). While many of his contemporaries died broke, discredited, or forgotten, Church managed to live a prosperous life until the end of an era that was shaped by his influence on artists, collectors, and museums. That influence continues today through frequent exhibitions, scholarly catalogues, and illustrated books. Even now there are major exhibitions that include his drawings and paintings as well as several books still in print that describe his painting techniques and the ways he managed his successful career. Church's influence isn't based on his having been an innovative painter or an active teacher. Instead, it emanates from his powerfully executed paintings of both well-known sites and exotic locations; from his influence as a founder of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, and as a member of the National Academy, also in New York City; and from the efforts of collectors to make a vast number of his sketches available to art students. Church's method of developing large studio pictures was typical of most 19th-century artists. He made detailed graphite drawings and oil sketches on location and acquired photographs of those scenes to compose oil paintings in his New York studio. He even went so far as to paint over someone else's photographic prints to compose his most popular painting of Niagara Falls. What helped Church stand out in the crowd of painters was his instinct for establishing arresting compositions, his preference for dramatic lighting and intriguing details, and his brilliant marketing strategies'.
