Seller's Description:
New. 0895581590. Volume 3 Series; Color Illustrations; 8.43 X 5.85 X 0.73 inches; 303 pages; Soft cover is NEW, still in publisher's shrinkwrap. Brown spine with black lettering. Lavishly illustrated with 129 color pictures. "This publication, the third in a series of titles co-published with the Detroit Institute of Arts [DIA], completes the study of American paintings in the museum's collection with 129 color images of works by artists born after 1847." "The American art collection in Detroit covers a broad range of artistic endeavors spanning the early Colonial period through the first part of the 20th century, but the strength of the American holdings is the painting collection. Especially strong are those paintings from the latter part of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, which are the focus of this volume." "This volume also illustrates the change from the Whistlerian aesthetic of "art for art's sake, " seen in Thomas Dewing's atmospheric tonalist landscapes, to the new philosophy of "art for life's sake, " a distinctly American realism that reached its peak with the Ashcan school. Key among these realists are Robert Henri, John Sloan, and George Bellows. Works by Marsden Hartley, Lyonel Feininger, and John Marin demonstrate the later move toward abstraction". Bibliography; index. Oversized/4#. The collections at the DIA are some of the best in the country and world. Always a joy to enjoy strolling through the museum, surrounded by such wonderful works, beautifully presented. A gorgeous catalog of some of their American art.
