Melissa Crowley July 21, 2011 (310) 440-6795 • Mcrowley@Getty.Edu FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Melissa Crowley July 21, 2011 (310) 440-6795 • [email protected] New Book Provides First Comprehensive Study of Materials and Techniques Used by Early American Painters LOS ANGELES—American Painters on Technique: The Colonial Period to 1860 (Getty Publications, $50.00, hardcover) is the first comprehensive study of an important but largely unknown part of the history of American art: the materials and techniques used by American painters. Based on extensive research including artists’ recipe books, letters, journals, and painting manuals, much previously unpublished, the authors have also drawn on their many years as conservators of paintings for museums and collectors. Information is provided on the methods of painters such as Benjamin West, Gilbert Stuart, Washington Allston, Thomas Sully, Thomas Cole, and William Sidney Mount. Topics include the quest for the “secrets” of the Old Masters; how artists saw their paintings changing over time; the application of “toning” layers; and the evolving self-confidence of American experimenters and innovators. American Painters on Technique will be of interest to curators, art historians, painters, and conservators and will form the basis for future research on American painting techniques. At a time of discovering new approaches to art history, the story of how paintings were made parallels the better-known histories about how styles changed and how paintings were commissioned, exhibited, and sold. -more- About the Authors—Lance Mayer and Gay Myers work at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London, Connecticut, and as independent conservators.

  • The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art by Lauren P
    Flying the Colors: The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art By Lauren P. Della Monica, Janice Hyland and Alan Granby Copyright 2009 Lauren P. Della Monica, Janice Hyland, Alan Granby Flying the Colors: The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art by Lauren Pheeney Della Monica CHAPTER ONE FINE ART Nineteenth Century American marine artists worked within the wider genre of American Realism characterized by finely-tuned attention to detail both in rendering physical attributes of sea, sky or ships as well as in the reportage quality of the works, that notion of recording the quotidian life of the harbors and their inhabitants. The artists also took measures beyond the realistic, however, and into the abstract realm of emotive content. For some Luminist painters, for example, this meant portraying an active harbor scene full of the bustle of daily life but in an atmosphere charged by the effect of the dusk light upon the sea. For other painters, it meant depicting a bustling harbor at the zenith of tranquility. In a discussion of fine art within Nineteenth Century American marine painting, a few famous names come instantly to mind, such as Fitz Henry Lane, Robert Salmon and William Bradford. In addition, many talented though lesser-known painters of the same generation contributed outstanding seascape and maritime paintings to the body of fine American marine art. In this chapter, we will explore exquisite examples of that body of art both by the famous and the more obscure talents of the time. Thomas Birch (1779-1851) Though he began his artistic career as a portraitist,1 Thomas Birch (1779-1851) is well- known for his marine paintings and especially his naval battle scenes from the War of 1812.

Originally a women’s college design as a series of Gothic quadrangles inspired by the examples of prestigious English universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, development changed course dramatically in the 1920s and 1930s, as inwardly focused designs gave way to a sweeping Campus Green modeled after Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia. While the Green continued to serve as the organizing spine of the campus, by the midcentury the College had introduced Modernist buildings to facilitate both coeducation and expanding curriculums.

  • Reclaiming American Art 18Th Annual American Art Conference
    Reclaiming American Art 18TH ANNUAL AMERICAN ART CONFERENCE FRIDAy – SATURDAY, MAy 17 – 18, 2013 In this conference focusing on the period from 1700 to the 1930s and beyond, we explore American artists once well-known but now obscure. We consider too the work of well-known artists that have, since their creation, been eclipsed by cycles of taste, or aspects of an artist’s oeuvre that have fallen out of favor. Why do artistic stars dim? What causes tastes to change and works to be consigned to museum basements? In confronting these questions, we will look at the vagaries of the marketplace, the effects of Alfred H. Maurer, Le Bal au Moulin Rouge, 1902 – 1904, oil on canvas, 36½ x 32½ in. Curtis choices made by museums in Galleries, Minneapolis, MN. exhibiting and acquiring, and the roles of individual collectors, dealers, and the critical establishment in defining and redefining the cannon over time. We look as well at how the specifics of artists’ careers—the company they kept, the diversity of their output, and how much they left behind—affect their fates and that of their works. In the end, this process of rediscovery is made possible by new generations of dealers, scholars, and collectors, whose professional and personal efforts make once-forgotten works resonate in new ways, bringing them in tune with our time and place. Leadership funding has been provided by The Louis and Lena Minkoff Foundation. Funding at the Partner Level has been provided by Jonathan Boos, Debra Force Fine Art, and by Julius Lowy Frame & Restoring Company.
