Where's the art in Western art? by Peter H Hassrick( Recording )

Most widely held works by Peter H Hassrick

Frederic Remington : paintings, drawings, and sculpture in the Amon Carter Museum and the Sid W. Richardson Foundation collections by Peter H Hassrick( Book )

11 editions published between 1973 and 1993 in English and held by 1,689 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Frederic Remington : the masterworks by Michael Edward Shapiro( Book )

17 editions published between 1988 and 1991 in English and held by 1,569 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

It would be easy to dismiss Remington's Wild West panorama with his glorified cowboys and noble savages, his ready-made melancholy and sunsets. While this catalogue of a traveling exhibition recognizes the painter's vocal jingoism and racism, it aims to show that he was much more than a facile celebrant of American frontier life. In Remington's later paintings, a literal realism gave way to impressionism and symbolism. His pure, almost abstract landscapes and romantic nocturnes suggest that white settlers could live in harmony with nature instead of imposing their will on it. The energy and dynamism of his darkly encrusted, cantilevered sculptures are undeniable. Remington's awareness that the destruction of Amerindian civilization was a national tragedy is reflected in his little-known, melodramatic novels and short stories, as one of the essays here makes clear. With 180 plates (half in color), this album highlights his diverse artistic outlets, from photography to drawing. Shapiro is chief curator at the St. Louis Art Museum; Hassrick is director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. BOMC dividend selection, American Artist Book Club alternate. (March)

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum by Lisa Mintz Messinger( Book )

13 editions published in 1997 in English and German and held by 1,333 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986), a pioneer of modernism, was unlike most of her contemporaries in that all her training and much of her subject matter were purely American. Still vigorously productive in her nineties, O'Keeffe always responded to the new in her own unique fashion. In this volume, eighty-six works from every period of her life, many never before published, are reproduced in large scale and in full color. Several are shown in lavish gatefolds." "More than a dozen photographs of the artist, including a number taken by Alfred Stieglitz, document the various stages of her life. A bibliography and full index add to the scholarly value of this handsome volume."--HARDBACK BOOK JACKET

"Old Faithful Geyser, Emerald Spring, the magnificent canyons and falls of the Yellowstone River: these and other sites, familiar to the millions of visitors who travel through Yellowstone National Park each year, have been an inspiration to generations of artists. Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and dozens of other artists have braved difficult conditions to capture the splendors of Yellowstone in many media, from delicate watercolors and pen-and-ink sketches to powerful oils and popular lithographs. They have portrayed the animals that lived there, the humans who passed through, and above all the remarkable features that have made Yellowstone a wonderland to so many artists and observers."--Jacket

The American west : out of myth, into reality( Book )

3 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 333 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Since the 1980s - much of western history and art has been reevaluated. Its rosy ambience has been tinged with allegations of sexism, ethnocentrism, imperialism, and economic exploitation. The exhibition The American West: Out of Myth, Into Reality, for which this volume is the catalogue, explores some of these new insights and perspectives and seeks to reconcile these with entrenched myth. The emerging realities add to the fascinating story of the West in art and enhance our appreciation of the region, its people, and its pictorial legacy."--Jacket

3 editions published in 2013 in English and held by 312 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Themes of the American West have been enduringly popular, and 'The American West in Bronze' features sixty-five iconic bronzes that display a range of subjects, from portrayals of the noble Indian to rough-and-tumble scenes of rowdy cowboys to tributes to the pioneers who settled the lands west of the Mississippi. Fascinating texts offer a fresh look at the roles that artists played in creating interpretations of the "vanishing West"--Whether based on fact, fiction or something in-between. These artists, including Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington, embody a range of life experiences and artistic approaches

In contemporary rhythm : the art of Ernest L. Blumenschein by Peter H Hassrick( Book )

6 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 264 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"The text by Peter H. Hassrick and Elizabeth J. Cunningham draws on Blumenschein's papers as well as other archival sources to explore in depth the dimensions of his multifaceted life and his place in American history and culture. They examine his sixty-four-year artistic career, first as an illustrator and then a painter, revealing how his technique evolved and how his schooling and the artistic movements of his time informed his work. The authors demonstrate how Blumenschein's musical training profoundly influenced his painting, and they address issues overlooked in previous studies, such as Blumenschein's pivotal role in helping to preserve American Indian culture. Additional contributions by noted art historians focus on particular paintings, such as Superstition (1921) and Jury of the Trial of a Sheepherder for Murder (1936), and particular aspects of the artist's work, including modernism and his promotion of American Indian rights." "In Contemporary Rhythm shows that, far from simply a western painter, Blumenschein is a major figure in twentieth-century American art, bridging traditionalism and modernism. As the only book of its kind available on this influential artist, it is a major contribution to American art history. It is also a visual feast."--Jacket

Remington, Russell and the language of Western art by Peter H Hassrick( Book )

4 editions published in 2000 in English and Undetermined and held by 262 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Beginning about 1825 the frontier artists of the American West helped shape the national identity through their collective images of the region. Following in their footsteps were Frederic Remington (1861-1909) and Charles M. Russell (1864-1926), who brought western art to its apotheosis, becoming, in the historian Robert Taft's phrase, "the most celebrated artists of the West."" "As young men, Remington and Russell struck out for the West, seeking adventure and self-identity. Remington stayed for only one year, Russell for the rest of his life. But both eventually became artists, and both took as their subject the disappearing West and its people. Different in temperament and style, they became the focal point of a manufactured rivalry that dominated the American art scene at the turn of the twentieth century and in essence pitted East against West. Camps of followers developed, and duels were waged on their behalf in the press, although neither Remington nor Russell directly engaged in the rivalry." "This volume, the catalogue for the exhibition Remington, Russell and the Language of Western Art, recounts the story of that shared limelight, its interplay and its tensions. It also explores who Remington and Russell were, how their art interacted, and why, despite their fundamental differences, they are so inextricably joined in the public's mind. Their depictions of the West and its people - Indians, cowboys, cavalrymen, and mountainmen - continue to define the West in the American imagination."--Jacket

"With the expertise of Director Emeritus and Senior Scholar of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Peter H. Hassrick and newly appointed Haub Curator of Western American Art Laura F. Fry, the Haub Family Collection was shaped into a gift of artworks spanning more than 200 years of American history. In finding a home here, the collection establishes the only major museum collection of western American art in the Pacific Northwest, offering a new dimension of artistic discovery to Tacoma, the State of Washington, and beyond. In selecting their artwork, the Haubs have been guided by love of nature and interest in western history.

It is their hope that this collection at Tacoma Art Museum will continue to inspire others in the years to come."
