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. 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.

John Singleton Copley in America

Theodore E. Stebbins; Paul Staiti; Carrie Rebora; Carol Troyen; Erica E. Hirshler; N.Y.) Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York

ISBN: 9780810964921
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
Publication Date: 1995
Binding: Hardcover

This book--published to accompany a 1995 exhibition organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston--focuses on the paintings, pastels, and miniatures produced by American painter John Singleton Copley before he moved to London in 1774. Four principal essays place Copley's work in historical and social context and bring new critical methods to bear upon the study of portraits; while four shorter texts treat Copley's use of costume, his accomplishments as a miniaturist, his pastels, and the frames he selected for his work. Catalogue entries detail the lives of sitters, decode the emblematic language that reflected status in colonial society, and reveal the way Copley enhanced his subjects' sense of self.
