  • New Exhibition the American Muse Debuts at the Nmai
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2013 Contact: Eric Brocklehurst Tel: (401) 851-8949 ext. 18 Email: [email protected] Website: www.americanillustration.org NEW EXHIBITION ‘THE AMERICAN MUSE’ DEBUTS AT THE NMAI NEWPORT, RI- Friday, May 24, the NMAI officially debuts its new exhibition, The American Muse. The exhibition is in homage to American women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the illustrators who accurately portrayed the quintessential yet distinctly American feminine beauty that these women embodied. The American illustrators highlighted include Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison Fisher, and others of the greatest illustrators of the period, such as: Philip Boileau, MacClelland Barclay, Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Henry Hutt, Walter Granville Smith, Paul Stahr, and Albert Beck Wenzell. Each of these illustrators created their own prototypical image of ‘The American Woman.’ The public gave these illustrators’ artworks generic names as part of their respective oeuvre; The Gibson Girl and The Fisher Girl stand out as the most popular of all. These renditions of the illustrators’ ideal woman captured the increasingly independent spirit of American women. The illustrations both shaped and reflected American society and its notions of female beauty. Compared to women of previous eras, these women relished more freedoms, enjoyed greater opportunities in sports and education, and were at the vanguard of a time when women effected change through social and political movements on an unprecedented scale in Western culture. Also showing at the NMAI are Maxfield Parrish: The Retrospective, which has been extended due to popular demand through Fall 2013, and Howard Pyle & His Brandywine Students, showcasing the works of Howard Pyle, N.C.
