    The Art of Etching Gallery Muirhead Bone Scottish, 1876 – 1953 Constantinople, 1934 etching and drypoint Museum Purchase Reading Public Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania 1968.461.1 This view of Constantinople, which shows the Süleymaniye Mosque, was completed in November, 1934 after a drawing Bone had executed in 1929. Bone, born in 1876 Glasgow, Scotland, had first trained as an architect before turning to art, specializing in watercolor and printmaking. Bone trained at the Glasgow School of Art before moving to London in 1901. There he continued to study alongside artists such as William Strang and Alphonse Legros, eventually joining the New English Art Club. Bone traveled and exhibited extensively, including in London and New York. Joseph Pennell American, 1857 – 1926 Culebra Cut from the Vista d'Oro Panama Canal Series, 1912 etching Museum Purchase Reading Public Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania 1928.56.1 Joseph Pennell, born in Philadelphia, was best known for his prints of historic landmarks used in books and travel articles. He and his wife, writer Elizabeth Robins Pennell, published numerous books including The Life of James McNeill Whistler (1908), who was a close friend of the couple. Shortly before the completion of the canal in 1914, Pennell created a portfolio in 1912 titled Building of the Panama Canal. In it, the artist noted how impressed he was with the colossal scale of the construction, but he was equally impressed by the commitment of the workers who, he observed, “worked as if to work was neither a hardship nor an imposition.

  • A New Internationalism New A
    A New Internationalism Cecilia Beaux (Philadelphia, PA, 1855–1942 Gloucester, MA) Self-Portrait 1894 Oil on canvas ANA diploma presentation, May 13, 1895 As a single woman from an old family but with a distinct lack of fortune, Beaux made her way in her professional life as a portraitist, one of the best of her era. Society portraiture is today a vanished art. But Beaux had perceived a need: both newly minted millionaires and well-to-do scions of aristocratic families were seeking a contemporary read on the ancestral claims that commissioned portraits offered. She !lled that niche with a panache both traditional and new—brighter chroma, brilliant brushwork, and psychological immediacy. Her self- portrait is an advertisement. She is declaring: others may be able to depict stout, successful businessmen, but come to me for sympathetic views of men, women, and children. —Robert Kushner, NA 2.1 For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design New Mexico Museum of Art · October 24, 2020 – January 17, 2021 A New Internationalism Wyatt Eaton (Phillipsburg, Quebec, 1849–1896 Middletown, RI) The Artist in His Studio 1873 Oil on canvas Gift of John Elderkin, May 14, 1902 2.2 For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design New Mexico Museum of Art · October 24, 2020 – January 17, 2021 A New Internationalism William J.

    ROBERT FREDERICK BLUM AN APPRECIATION BY MARTIN BIRNBAUM 47f*{ NEW YORK BERLIN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY 305 MADISON AVENUE 1013 ROBERT FREDERICK BLUM FROM A PAINTING BY WILLIAM M. CHASE CATALOGUE OF A MEMORIAL LOAN EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF ROBERT FREDERICK BLUM WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MARTIN BIRNBAUM NEW YORK BERLIN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY 305 MADISON AVENUE 1913 Thanks are due the institutions and col­ lectors who kindly consented to lend their possessions for this exhibition, and we are especially indebted to Mrs. Henrietta Haller, the sister of the artist, and William J. Baer, Esq., Robert Blum's devoted friend and executor, whose sympathetic co-operation made the collection of the works a possibility. It is hoped that from the proceeds of the sale of some of the pic­ tures a fund may be started with which to found a scholarship in memory of the artist, or to erect a suitable memorial. Copyright, 1913, by Martin Birnbaum. ROBERT FREDERICK BLUM Born in Cincinnati, July 9,1857. Died at New York, June 8,1903. IN an unpublished letter to a friend who was about to enter an art school, Robert Blum wrote in a vein that is fashionable at this mo­ ment. "You know what I think of schools gen­ erally—they prove disastrous to the majority. I have come to look on them as I do on the schools where Spencerian penmanship is taught,—where you put up each letter in curl papers before you are expected to write a word. Good pictures are the best lessons you can get. My God! When I think of the few things I hugged to my heart and branded on my brain in those dark days when I was strug­ gling with appalling ignorance! Two pictures, —a Fortuny and a Boldini at an exhibition in Cincinnati, and which I saw probably three times,—the volume of Gazette des Beaux Arts in which cartoons of Baudry's work were reproduced, and which I was too timid to go to see more often than once in two weeks,—is all I can remember of cheering and helping me in that dreadful period of my life.

Knoedler & Co. document the business of the prominent American art dealer from the mid-19th century to 1971. The archive traces the development of the once provincial American art market into one of the world's leading art centers and the formation of the private art collections that would ultimately establish many of the nation's leading art museums, such as the Frick Collection and the National Gallery of Art. It contains crucial provenance information on numerous artworks in private and public collections in the United States. The archive includes stock books, sales books and commission books; correspondence with collectors, artists, art dealers and other associates; photographs of the artworks sold by the gallery; records from the firm's offices in London, Paris and other cities; exhibition files; framing and restoration records, and records of the firm's Print Department.

  • 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.
