Degas and America: The Early Collectors

High Museum of Art; Ann Dumas; Edgar Degas; David A. Brenneman; Minneapolis Institute of Arts

American collectors, critics, and artists played a key role in introducing Degas's art to the United States. Featuring reproductions of well-known masterpieces and little-known treasures, Degas and America celebrates the artistic savvy of the Americans who helped make impressionism the most popular movement in modern art. Early taste for Degas in America embraced his work in all media-oils, pastels, drawings, prints, and sculpture. Essays by an impressive group of scholars explain how the early collectors of Degas's work helped to shape his career and our image of the artist.

Impressionism: Paintings Collected by European Museums

High Museum of Art; Seattle Art Museum; Denver Art Museum

The art movement called Impressionism was not always as popular as it is today. When it first emerged in France in the last decades of the 19th century, critics reacted harshly, and few paintings were acquired by museums. This book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition, presents a fascinating look at how Impressionist works made their way into European museums -- who collected them, when, and why -- and why not. Lavishly illustrated with an extraordinary selection of paintings, many seldom reproduced, Impressionism offers much new scholarly information as well as fresh anecdotes. Few nonexperts know that in 1894 the French government almost refused the first great gift of Impressionist paintings -- the Caillebotte bequest. The pivotal role played by dealer Paul Durand-Ruel is explained by his great-granddaughter, Caroline Durand-Ruel Godfroy, using previously unpublished information. The history of Impressionism's struggle for acceptance will fascinate art lovers.

Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People

High Museum of Art; Maureen Hart Hennessey; Norman Rockwell; Anne Knutson; Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge; Anne Classen Knutson

Accompanying the first major traveling exhibition of works by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), this volume presents a complete reappraisal of one of America's most beloved artists. Contributors from a wide range of fields--including leading art historians, cultural critics, a renowned child psychiatrists, and a leading graphic designer--shed new light on the complexity of Rockwell's art and his place as a shaper of mass-media imagery.
Stunning colorplates reproduce Rockwell's paintings in crisp detail, and the essays set them in fresh contexts, discussing such themes as Rockwell's urban scenes; the reaction by both black and white Southerners to Rockwell's historic civil rights painting THE PROBLEM WE ALL LIVE WITH; AND Rockwell's role in the development of American illustration. Above all, this important volume examines Norman Rockwell's critical place in 20th-century American culture.

The Art of Nellie Mae Rowe: Ninety-Nine and a Half Won't Do

High Museum of Art; Nellie Mae Rowe; Lee Kogan; Museum of American Folk Art; Rosemary Gabriel; Tex.) African American Museum (Dallas

The Art of Nellie Mae Rowe is the most substantial gathering of her work to date. Here eighty full color and ten black and white images display the artist's extraordinary intuitive color sense and the vibrancy and variety of her work. Rowe used whatever materials were at hand. When painting and drawing on paper, Styrofoam, cardboard, and wood, she favored plain and colored pencils, ink and felt tip pens, and gouache. Jewelry, lace, wigs, felt hats, and eye glasses enhanced her cloth dolls. Sculpting, she gathered found objects, marbles, and glitter and fastened them with chewing gum. In these color-saturated works, there is an exuberant and idiosyncratic self-expression.
