By the late 19th century, print dealers promoted “remarque proofs” as more valuable and ex - clusive than impressions without them. Sloan’s remarques, included on etchings found in the most deluxe editions of the de Kock novels, are often clever puns on the illustrations and enhance their meaning. The Misplaced Kiss ,1905, etching, state 2 of 3, 6 x 4 in. (also on the cover). From the novel Cherami , vol. 1. Partial and promised gift of Gary, Brenda, and Harrison Ruttenberg. The dual cause of The Misplaced Kiss —alcohol and ardor—can be found in the remarque of a blindfolded, tipsy cupid next to an overturned champagne bottle and glass. Although illustrating only a moment in the narrative, Sloan infuses the remarque with the essence of the scene. rom 1902 to 1905, American artist John Sloan F(1871–1951) created 53 etchings to illustrate novels by French author Charles Paul de Kock (1793 –1871), whose satires of early 19th-century Parisian society were popular in the United States around the turn of the century. While Sloan is best known for his gritty depictions of life in the streets, taverns, and tenements of New York City, the de Kock commission gave him the op portunity to refine his etching technique and hone his ability to convey anecdotal incidents with wry humor.

  • Caroline Peart, American Artist
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities MOMENTS OF LIGHT AND YEARS OF AGONY: CAROLINE PEART, AMERICAN ARTIST 1870-1963 A Dissertation in American Studies by Katharine John Snider ©2018 Katharine John Snider Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 The dissertation of Katharine John Snider was reviewed and approved* by the following: Anne A. Verplanck Associate Professor of American Studies and Heritage Studies Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Charles Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies and History John R. Haddad Professor of American Studies and Popular Culture Program Chair Holly Angelique Professor of Community Psychology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the life of American artist Caroline Peart (1870-1963) within the context of female artists at the turn of the twentieth century. Many of these artists’ stories remain untold as so few women achieved notoriety in the field and female artists are a relatively new area of robust academic interest. Caroline began her formal training at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at a pivotal moment in the American art scene. Women were entering art academies at record numbers, and Caroline was among a cadre of women who finally had access to formal education. Her family had the wealth to support her artistic interest and to secure Caroline’s position with other elite Philadelphia-area families. In addition to her training at the Academy, Caroline frequently traveled to Europe to paint and she studied at the Academie Carmen.

  • Highlights from the William J. Glackens Collection in NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale
    Highlights from The William J. Glackens Collection in NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale By: Elizabeth Thompson Colleary Introduction to the Collection Every time a group of paintings by William Glackens is shown one gets from them much of the sensuous joy that the artist must evidently have had when he painted them. His are no perfunctory productions of a manufacturer of paintings. They are fragments of his life, of the pleasures he has felt at being in the sun in certain delightful places and above all of the pleasure derived from just painting’ 1 Written by an art critic reviewing an exhibition of paintings in 1931 by William J. Glackens (1870–1938), this statement aptly describes the experience that awaits visitors to the Glackens Wing at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale. As the largest repository of resplendent works by the artist, recently described as a “master of delight” and praised in his lifetime for “his genius for transforming his inner joyousness to canvas,” 2 the collection includes painting spanning the years 1891 to 1938, thus from the defining phases of Glackens’s career—from his early days as an artist-reporter and illustrator, through his recognition as an urban realist aligned with the famed painter and teacher Robert Henri, to his brilliant flowering when he came into his own, inspired by the vivid colors of the French Impressionists and his American modernist contemporaries. Among the holdings are examples of his finest works as an illustrator, among them The Night after San Juan (1898), which depicts the aftermath of a battle in the Spanish-American War, Far from the Fresh Air Farm (1911), and Christmas Shoppers, Madison Square (1912), the latter two bustling New York City street scenes replete with lively vignettes and abundant period detail.

  • Pène Du Bois, Guy American, 1884 - 1958
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Pène du Bois, Guy American, 1884 - 1958 Paul Juley, Guy Pène du Bois Standing in Front of "The Battery", 1936, photograph, Peter A. Juley & Son Collection, Smithsonian American Art Museum BIOGRAPHY Guy Pène du Bois was a noted art critic as well as a painter of pointed, sometimes witty, scenes of modern social interactions. Pène du Bois was born in Brooklyn, New York, on January 4, 1884. His father, Henri Pène du Bois, a journalist and writer of Louisiana Creole heritage, passed down his admiration of French language and culture to his son. Pène du Bois attended the New York School of Art from 1899 to 1905, where he studied first with William Merritt Chase (American, 1849 - 1916) and later Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929). Pène du Bois’s fellow pupils included George Bellows (American, 1882 - 1925), Rockwell Kent (American, 1882 - 1971), and Edward Hopper (American, 1882 - 1967). Hopper and Pène du Bois remained close friends throughout their careers. In 1905 he went to Paris with his father and briefly studied at the Academie Colarossi and took lessons from Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (Swiss, 1859 - 1923). He first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1905. Pène Du Bois’s work reflects a close observation of modern Parisian life in subjects such as men and women interacting in public spaces like cafés. He drew inspiration from contemporary French artists like Edgar Degas (French, 1834 - 1917) and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864 - 1901). Du Bois and his father were forced to return to New York in 1906 after the elder Pène du Bois fell ill, but he died before they arrived.

In observance of this, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Carnegie Gallery of the University of Maine at Orono and the Colby College Art Museum are presenting the exhibition. Landscape in Maine, 1820-1970. It was during the first few years of Maine's statehood that American artists turned for the first time to landscape painting. Prior to that time, the primary form of painting in this country had been portraiture. When landscape appeared at all in a painting it was as the background of a portrait, or very occasionally, as the subject of an overmantel painting. Almost simultaneously with the artists' interest in landscape as a suitable sub- ject for a painting, they discovered Maine and its varied landscape. Since then, many of the finest American artists have lived in Maine where they have produced some of their most expressive works.
