The destination of many diverse peoples, New York eventually became the center of international commerce and culture. But the city did not start out that way. This book is the story of Manhattan's growth as told through the eyes of artists who painted its rivers, streets, parks, bridges, and skyscrapers as well as the day-to-day life of its people from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth. The ninety-seven artworks in Paintings of New York not only trace the development of American art history, they also document the changing tone and fabric of the city itself, from views of the harbor, Wall Street, and the Battery of the mid-1800s, to turn-of-century street scenes by Childe Hassam and Maurice Prendergast, to depictions of working-class life by Ashcan painters Robert Henri, George Bellows, John Sloan, and George Luks. In the decades following the famous Armory Show of 1913, modernism emerged with the paintings of bridges and skyscrapers by Max Weber, John Marin, and Joseph Stella. New directions were explored by Georgia O'Keeffe, Stuart Davis, and Charles Sheeler. Even as abstraction became more general, a strong current of realism continued with the work of Reginald Marsh, Isabel Bishop, Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, and George Tooker. As author Bruce Weber concludes: "Between 1800 and 1950, New York struggled into modernity even as its many painters kept pace—and perhaps, at times, led the way. Like the city they loved, they passed through epochs of progress and periods of reflection, culminating around mid-century in exciting, sometimes disturbing, new visions. Nevertheless, these new visions typically retained at their center the spiritual, intellectual, and even physical environment of America's ever-vibrant cultural capital." BRUCE WEBER is Director of Research and Exhibitions at Berry-I fill Galleries in New York, and former Curator of Collections at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. A specialist in American art, Dr. Weber has organized numerous exhibitions revolving around the subject of New York and authored the accompanying catalogs, including Stuart Davis' New York: The Prowed Tower: Early Images of the Flat iron Building: Ashcan Kids: Children in the Art of Henri. Luks. Glackens. Bellows & Sloan: and Homage to the Square: Images of Washington Square. 1890-1960. Arnold Skolnick, Creative director of Chameleon Books, is picture editor and designer of the Paintings of. . . series. He has produced many books on American painters, including Ben Shahn, George Tooker, Charles Burchfield's Season's, and most recently, Edward Hopper 's New York." , DE, [SC: 2.60], wie neu, gewerbliches Angebot, 22.86 x 1.91 x 18.42 cm, 128, [GW: 670g], Banküberweisung, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Design/Künste/Film / Kunst (Bildband), Sammel-/Bildbände / Kunst (Bildband)]<
