This is the catalogue for a 1998 exhibition held at Reed College, Portland Oregon. The artist's name guud san glans, Robert Davidson combines his Haida and his English names. Twenty-four color plates display his totem poles, which draw from Northwest coast Indian tradition but extend that vocabulary to incorporate new ideas. An introduction (by Susan Fillin-Yeh) and an interpretive essay (by curator Rhyne) offer context and interpretation; an annotated bibliography suggests further resources. The exhibition checklist also includes sculpture, masks, jewelry, paintings, and prints, but these are not pictured. Distributed by U. of Washington Press. Annotation c.

Photographs taken by MacArthur fellow Robert Adams since the late 1960s have decisively changed the ways many think about the American West. As we enter the 21st century, it is no surprise that environmental urgencies, including his own very deeply felt concerns, have shaped thinking about Adams's art. This volume surveys Adams's work since its beginnings to offer a new, thematic approach to its layered meanings and complexities and includes previously unpublished photographs.

A close look at early-20th-century New York City through the eyes of Ashcan artist John Sloan John Sloan (1871–1951) began his career as a commercial newspaper artist in Philadelphia where he studied with Robert Henri. Following Henri to New York, Sloan joined a small circle of eight talented artists whose dissatisfaction with the dominating National Academy led to a protest exhibit in 1908, the emergence of a powerful movement for change in American art, and ultimately to the famous Armory Show of 1913. It was in part Sloan’s dark palette and views of city streets and working-class life that gave rise to the epithet now used to describe the works of the “Ashcan School.” Sloan’s compelling images of New York City are the subject of this generously illustrated book. His paintings, drawings, and prints clearly reflect his own experience of the city as he walked its neighborhoods and observed human dramas played out in streets and apartments. The contributors to the volume investigate a variety of topics, including Sloan’s understanding of the urban experience in America, his interest in social reform, his fascination with moving pictures and cinema aesthetics, and his relationship with Henri. The authors also situate Sloan’s paintings within the geography and social fabric of New York. John Sloan’s New York presents a unique perspective on New York and its people and also on the artist himself, who was captivated by the soul of the city.

One of the premier sculptors of her generation in the Northwest, Hilda Morris (1911-1993) lived her artistic life in the center of the region's circle of avant-garde painters, sculptors, poets, and musicians. This is the first book to document her half-century-long career and presents Morris's highly individual abstract sculptures against the backdrop of artistic developments during the second half of the twentieth century. A part of the abstract expressionist movement, Morris's vigorous, gestural sculptures inspired by mythological and universal symbols were instrumental in introducing a rigorous, expansive thinking about abstraction to the Pacific Northwest community. As an account of her life and the first complete survey of her entire oeuvre - sculpture, painting, and drawing - this volume will be essential to an understanding of the period.
