First Edition
Paperback. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. First Edition. "Americans" is an introduction to the history of the United States of America through the art of portraiture. Bringing together over 120 famous American figures, this book draws on the vibrant collections of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington to represent a selection of heroes, writers, statesmen, inventors, educators, musicians, artists and scientists. Together, these portraits comprise a unique overview of the contribution that individuals have made to American politics, society and culture. Accompanied by informative biographies, the subjects are engaging and wide-ranging - Sequoyah, Henry Clay, Mary Cassatt, George Washington, George Gershwin, Edith Wharton, Martha Graham, Cary Grant, Michael Jackson and Martin Luther-King. The portraits, which date from the 1720s to the 1990s, have been selected to represent American men and women of achievement yet they also form a narrative about the genre of portraiture and vary in style and technique, from the sophisticated paintings of John Singer Sargent and the stark photographs of Richard Avedon, to work by self-taught artists such as Thomas Badger and William Elwell. Some portraits include details that tell us about the sitter's accomplishments at first glance, whilst others benefit from insights offered in contemporary descriptions. With illuminating essays from leading transatlantic critics, curators, writers and historians, "Americans" aims to provide a popular and critical analysis of American history in an unusual but accessible format. "Americans" accompanies an exhibition of paintings and photographs from the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, at the National Portrait Gallery in London from 10 October 2002 to 12 January 2003.

Softcover. Condition: USED_ASNEW. Illus. wraps. 408 pp. 100 color, 620+ bw plates. When the doors to the Fine Arts Palace at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago opened in the spring of 1893, the American art inside was heralded as a triumph. Writing in Century Magazine, art critic Marianna G. Van Rensselaer proclaimed, "The Columbian Exhibition will prove to the most doubting and critical spirit that American art exists, that it is capable of great things, and that it can do great things in a way distinctly its own." Fairgoers were treated to achievements such as Thomas Eakins's Gross Clinic, Winslow Homer's Eight Bells, Eastman Johnson's Cranberry Harvest, and countless other now well-known works, in addition to pieces by many lesser-known artists. Not only did the exposition show the apogee of American art, it also occurred at a moment of immense cultural change - two significant indications being Frederick Jackson Turner's thesis on the closing of the frontier and the recently completed national census which announced the population's shift from rural to urban areas. As Evan Turner, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art, has said, "The Fair shaped national culture as has no other event in the history of the country." The National Museum of American Art and the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian institution spent five years researching the paintings and sculpture shown at the exposition and have jointly produced this - comprehensive commemorative volume and a centennial exhibition. A color plate section highlights 100 works of art featured in the exhibition. Historian Robert Rydell discusses the historical and cultural context of the fair, and Carolyn Kinder Carr adds to an understanding of the regional and gender prejudices that pervaded the American art arena at the time. An extensive catalogue section updates the complete 1893 checklist, providing much new information on the 521 artists and locations of the objects, and offering descriptions and illustrations of well over three-fourths of the 1,184 works originally displayed. With over 900 illustrations of the art and the fair itself, this book is an invaluable resource for those interested in late nineteenth-century art and culture. This catalogue includes reproductions of over 490 paintings and 116 sculptures in bw photographs. Many more works in each category are listed, and the location of all works is given (where known). A mammoth research undertaking, this catalogue easily serves as the standard reference for American art at this Columbian Expo.
Softcover. Condition: VG. White & illus. stapled wraps, 48 pp., many illus., mostly in BW. Issued in conjunction with a 1982 exhibition featuring the portrait work of American artist William Merritt Chase (1849-1919). Essays: Girl in White: A History / Carolyn Kinder Carr -- William Merritt Chase: Portraits / Carol Kinder Carr. The exhibition checklist cites about 25 pieces, and most if not all are pictured here. A nice selection.
