In addition to being acclaimed for his magnificent paintings and watercolors, Winslow Homer is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and prolific illustrators of the nineteenth century. This volume illuminates his illustrations--an often overlooked but magnificent body of work by America's most popular nineteenth-century artist. Working in an era when photography was not yet widely used as a reproductive medium, Homer was employed between 1857 and 1875 as an artist whose images were made into wood engravings that appeared in such popular journals as Harper's Weekly, Appletons' Journal, and Every Saturday. Homer's first steps toward his transformation into the artist of haunting emotional and formal vision he later became are visible in these illustrations. Winslow Homer: Illustrating America reproduces 79 of Homer's best printed illustrations--scenes of children, of the Civil War, the coastal resorts, the Adirondacks, and others. Essay authors Gallati and Kushner discuss these works within their art historical and social contexts.

The 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art (or Armory Show) marked a turning point in the history of American art and culture. Organized by a small group of American artists and presented in the huge space of the 69th Regiment Armory in New York City, this ambitious exhibition of 1,400 works was the moment when the American public was introduced to European avant-garde art. This outstanding interdisciplinary volume re-examines the exhibition and its historical and cultural context. It includes over thirty essays by eminent scholars across diverse fields to evoke the wider social, political, and economic climate during the 1913 show.

College Proofs: The Riverhouse Editions Collection at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art Honorable Mention in the 2002 American Association of Museums Publications Design Competition Riverhouse Editions, a unique printmaking studio that has published the works of leading contemporary artists since 1988, was founded by art dealers and publishers William and Jan van Straaten in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In 1992, they decided that one intaglio print of each Riverhouse edition would be set aside as a "college proof," so called because these works were to be given to a college or university for educational purposes. The Block Museum of Art has become the permanent home for the college proof archives. Selections from this rich body of work comprise the majority of this catalogue, which highlights the history of the studio, the importance of Riverhouse's setting, and the diverse possibilities of the intaglio technique. This catalogue was published in conjunction with the Block Museum exhibition of the same title, which ran September 21 - October 28, 2001.

pp. 219, "Aided by monthly stipends from Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Morgan Russell (1886-1953), a New Yorker working in Paris, pioneered the short-lived Synchromistok movement with his friend Stanton Macdonald-Wright. Their swirling discs of color--exploding spectrums abuzz with rhythm and movement--blazed an indelible impression on modernist abstraction. But Russell, a pupil of Matisse, finally reached an…

This book reveals the story of Donald Saff's pioneering work in collaborative editions, unique paintings, and sculptures, chronicling Saff's role working with significant artists. For decades Saff has worked closely and intensely with artists as they navigated the tumultuous journey from conception to finished product, offering solutions and ideas that helped bring their work to the public eye. The story of Saff's collaborative efforts is told in this volume which features important works by such artists as Jim Dine, Nancy Graves, Roy Lichtenstein, Philip Pearlstein, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and James Turrell. A selection of images illustrates the process inside the studio, the works of these artists, and those of Saff. Documenting his collaborative journey which began at Graphicstudio in the late 1960s and continued through the 1980s and later at Saff Tech Arts, this book explores Saff's drive to breach all boundaries in pursuit of creative excellence.Saff has said, Collaboration is a voyage from the known to the unknown with people of common interest who both steer and follow. This statement belies the brilliant inspired energy that Saff brings to the creation of art, and the imaginative applications that allow the great talent of his collaborators to shine through.
