Book Description: Hood Museum of Art, Hanover, 2007. Softcover. Book Condition: New. First Edition. 256 pages. Softcover. New book. ART. First in a series of publications presenting the Hood Museum of Art's extensive and varied collections. Prepared in conjunction with an Exhibition at the Hood Museum. American art has long been a mainstay of the art collections at Dartmouth College, beginning with a gift in 1773 of a Boston-made silver bowl given by Royal Governor John Wentworth to the College's founder, Eleazar Wheelock, in honor of the College's first commencement. The collections have grown dramatically over the yearsÑparticularly since the opening of the College's Hood Museum of Art in 1985. Today the American holdings of works dating before 1950 number around eight thousand pieces. American Art at Dartmouth is the first in a series of publications from the Hood that will highlight different areas of the museum's collections, including European, Native American, and contemporary art. American Art is the first book to highlight the breadth and depth of the American holdings, only a tiny fraction of which are on view in the museum's galleries at any one time. The 256-page fully illustrated book features an introductory essay by Barbara J. MacAdam that surveys the formation of the collection and its changing focus and function over the course of Dartmouth's more than two-hundred-year history. Whereas the College initially collected primarily American portraits to commemorate Dartmouth luminaries such as Daniel Webster, the collections broadened as the College's art department developed in the early twentieth century. The American holdings of the Hood Museum of Art, now far more varied in nature, serve diverse audiences within and well beyond the College community and its environs. The catalogue comprises individual entries and color illustrations for more than two hundred works from the American collections dating from around 1705 to 1950, many of which have never before been published. This beautifully produced catalogue will include works by Winslow Homer, Georgia O'Keeffe, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, James McNeill Whistler,Thomas Sully, Augusta Savage, and Jackson Pollock, among others. Works are presented according to media: painting, sculpture, works on paper, and decorative arts. The Table of Contents is as follows: Foreword - Brian Kennedy, Director ¥ Acknowledgments ¥ Dartmouth Collects American Art, 1773-2007 ¥ CATALOGUE - Paintings ¥ Sculpture ¥ Drawings and Watercolors ¥ Prints and Photographs ¥ Decorative Arts ¥ Silver ¥ Pewter ¥ Glass ¥ Textiles ¥ Furniture ¥ Ceramics ¥ Selected Bibliography ¥ Index of Artists and Titles. Barbara J. MacAdam is the Jonathan L. Cohen Curator of American Art at the Hood Museum of Art. In addition to curating numerous exhibitions, she has authored museum publications on such diverse topics as the paintings of Willard Metcalf; White Mountain landscape painting; and American prints of the early twentieth century.
