The art of Thomas Gainsborough : "a little business for the eye" by
Michael Rosenthal(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 688 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Michael Rosenthal provides a lively account of Gainsborough's varied life and diverse artworks. Rosenthal also examines for the first time the artist's oeuvre as a whole and how the trajectory of his career reflected the problems, dilemmas and situations that were common to other painters of his time. This book sets Gainsborough's art within its social and cultural contexts, shedding new light on the art worlds of London and the English provinces and on the ways in which Gainsborough's painting would have been seen and understood by his contemporaries." "The book begins by charting the geography and professional tactics of a career that took Gainsbourgh from London to Suffolk, Bath and eventually back to London. Rosenthal looks at such wide-ranging topics as how artists manipulated the press, the issue of likeness in portraiture, how rivalries between painters were handled in public and private, and the pressures of the public exhibition. The second part of the book explores the manifestations of Gainsborugh's aesthetic in portraiture, landscape painting and paintings of sensibility. Rosenthal concludes with a discussion of the problem of defining a role and proper form for the fine arts at a time of rapid social change and innovation."--Jacket

The paintings and drawings of William Blake by
Martin Butlin(
Book
)
7 editions published in 1981 in English and held by 623 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Here in two beautifully produced volumes is the first complete catalogue of the paintings, watercolors, drawings, and color prints of one of the English-speaking world's greatest and most widely studied artists. Also included are works attributed to William's brother Robert and his wife Catherine. The culmination of over twenty years of research, these volumes are packed with new information and identifications. Martin Butlin has divided the catalogue into sections corresponding to phases in Blake's artistic career and has considered groups of related works together. For each entry there is full information on size, medium and techniques, date history, and other pertinent data. Where appropriate, there is also a discussion of the relationship of the work to Blake's thought and writings and an explanation of its symbolism and significance. Every traceable work is reproduced (with the exception of a few series that have been fully published elsewhere) and a large proportion of them are in colour. This monumental study will become a standard and indispensable work of reference for anyone interested in William Blake's art or poetry."--

Gwen John : with a catalogue raisonné of the paintings and a selection of the drawings by
Cecily Langdale(
Book
)
4 editions published in 1987 in English and held by 610 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
From London in the 1890s to Paris in the early twentieth century, Gwen John's career spanned some of the most exciting periods and places in cultural history. Demolishing the myth of Gwen John (1876-1939) as a recluse, this new survey explores the art world at the center of these cities and reveals the alliances and differences the artist had with her contemporaries. John's representation of the female nude, her paintings of interiors, and the effects of her Catholic faith on her work are all considered. The author also discusses the key relationship between John's position as a woman artist and her fascination with the portrayal of the female sitter. -- Provided by publisher

John Ingamells(
Book
)
6 editions published between 1977 and 2009 in English and held by 520 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
While the majority of travellers were young persons making the grand tour - discovering antiquity, the temptations of a brisk and irregular art market, the squalor and the riches of Italian life and travel - there were also many older visitors intent on some professional purpose, including prison reformer John Howard, agronomist Arthur Young and musicologist Charles Burney. Over three hundred artists, sculptors and architects made the trip. The dictionary includes British antiquaries who became guides or art dealers in Rome or Naples, among them Mark Parker, Thomas Jenkins and Colin Morison

William Holman Hunt and typological symbolism by
George P Landow(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1979 in English and held by 509 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Although Pre-Raphaelitism has attracted much critical and scholarly attention in the past decade, there still has been no major reconsideration of the work of William Holman Hunt. In this new study, Landow contends that Hunt's version of Pre-Raphaelitism concerned itself primarily with an elaborate system of painterly symbolism rather than with a photographic realism as has been usualy suposed. Like Ruskin, Hunt believed that a symbolism based on scriptural typology--the method of finding anticipations of Christ in Hebrew history--could produce an ideal art that would solve the problems of Victorian paining. According to Hunt, this elaborate symbolism could simultaneously avoid the dangers of materialism inherent in a realistic style, the dead conventionalism of academic art, and the sentimentality of much contemporary painting"--Jacket

James McNeill Whistler by
Richard Dorment(
Book
)
4 editions published in 1995 in English and held by 480 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Painter, etcher, draughtsman, lithographer, watercolourist, and author of critical essays and aphorisms, James McNeill Whistler had a tremendous influence on the art and aesthetics of his era. Born in Massachusetts in 1834, he settled in London when he was twenty-five years old and for the next four decades produced hundreds of highly acclaimed (and sometimes highly criticised) works. His prodigious output and proficiency, along with his eccentricities, polemics, and arguments with critics, won him wide recognition. This catalogue raisonne of Whistler's drawings, pastels and watercolours makes available many of his works that have never before been exhibited or published and vividly demonstrates the wide range of his art. His drawings reveal the everyday working out of his ideas and note the world as it passed by Whistler with vigour and humour. The pastels include sensitive portraits, vigorous studies of models in the studio, and detailed views of Venetian palaces. The watercolours, perhaps his finest works, catch the subtle colours of northern skies and ever-changing seascapes

The Pre-Raphaelite landscape by
Allen Staley(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2001 in English and held by 475 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In this completely revised and updated second edition, Staley takes into account important paintings that have recently come to light, as well as current understandings of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its legacy. The author provides a comprehensive account of the background and formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, the role of landscape in major Pre-Raphaelite figurative paintings, and the emergence and impact of a school of Pre-Raphaelite landscape painting as well as its place in the wider tradition of British landscape painting ... The important Pre-Raphaelite figures, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, and Ford Madox Brown, are discussed, as are the main landscape specialists affected by the movement: Thomas Seddon, George Price Boyce, John William Inchbold, and John Brett. Attention is paid to the significant influence of John Ruskin and his active involvement with many of the artists." "This spectacular volume, enhanced by over 150 colour illustrations, is the definitive study of its subject and will provide both visual and intellectual stimulation for anyone drawn to the work of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and its followers"--Jacket
