  • 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.

  • Durand Release
    COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220 www.VMFA.museum/pressroom FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 13, 2018 Asher B. Durand’s Progress, Most Valuable Gift of a Single Work of Art in VMFA’s History, Enters Museum Collection Gift marks first time the painting has been in public domain since its creation in 1853 Richmond, VA––The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts recently received the generous anonymous gift of Asher B. Durand’s painting Progress (The Advance of Civilization), which was approved by the VMFA Board of Trustees yesterday. One of the most important works of American art in private hands, this is the highest valued gift of a single work of art in VMFA’s history, and represents the first time the painting has been held outside of private collections since it was painted in 1853. Because of the extraordinary generosity of the donor, this beloved, canonical painting now enters the public domain, allowing the citizens of Virginia to be among the first to benefit from its presence in its new home at VMFA. Commissioned by the financier and industrialist Charles Gould (1811–1870), this work complements VMFA’s collection of paintings by other Hudson River School artists, including Thomas Cole, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Frederic Edwin Church, George Inness and Robert Seldon Duncanson. Only a handful of masterpieces in American art—including Thomas Cole’s The Oxbow and George Inness’s The Lackawanna Valley (which hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art respectively)—rival Progress in dramatizing the meeting of nature and civilization.

This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • Illustrating Stories of the American West Karen Yarnall Introduction This Unit Is the Result from Taking the Delaware Teachers I
    Illustrating Stories of the American West Karen Yarnall Introduction This unit is the result from taking the Delaware Teachers Institute seminar “The American West as Place, Process, and Story” with University of Delaware’s Barry Joyce, Associate Professor of History. Not only will it fit into our art curriculum, but it will also increase the students’ knowledge of the American West and add an appreciation of tales that are a part of it. This unit will allow students to make cross-curricular connections between social studies, literature, geography, reading, writing, and art. After studying the American West with its rich history, art, and stories, my students will then select and research a folk tale, legend, myth, story, tall tale or Native American story from the west and capture a moment from their selections on paper in a color illustration. They will analyze and evaluate their own work and that of their peers in critiques. The unit will culminate with an art show for the community featuring the student illustrations. As one of three art teachers at Newark High School in Newark, Delaware, I plan to teach this unit in two of my classes. My Art Fundamentals class is our foundations course with an enrollment of over 30 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. The other class is my small upper level Advanced Drawing class that is composed of juniors and seniors who have more advanced skills. Newark High School is a Title 1 school with a population that is over 50% minority, 43% low income and 7% special education.

  • Center Bridge Burning
    Burning of Center Bridge, 1923 Edward W. Redfield (1869-1965 oil on canvas H. 50.25 x W 56.25 inches James A. Michener Art Museum, acquired with funds secured by State Senator Joe Conti, and gifts from Joseph and Anne Gardocki, and the Laurent Redfield Family Biography The Pennsylvania school born in the Academy at Philadelphia or in the person of Edward W. Redfield is a very concise expression of the simplicity of our language and of the prosaic nature of our sight. It is democratic painting—broad, without subtlety, vigorous in language if not absolutely in heart, blatantly obvious or honest in feeling. It is an unbiased, which means, inartistic, record of nature. —Guy Pene du Bois Among the New Hope impressionists, Edward Willis Redfield was the most decorated, winning more awards than any other American artist except John Singer Sargent. Primarily a landscape painter, Redfield was acclaimed as the most “American” artist of the New Hope school because of his vigor and individualism. Redfield favored the technique of painting en plein air, that is, outdoors amid nature. Tying his canvas to a tree, Redfield worked in even the most brutal weather. Painting rapidly, in thick, broad brushstrokes, and without attempting preliminary sketches, Redfield typically completed his paintings in one sitting. Although Redfield is best known for his snow scenes, he painted several spring and summer landscapes, often set in Maine, where he spent his summers. He also painted cityscapes, including, most notably, Between Daylight and Darkness (1909), an almost surreal, tonalist painting of the New York skyline in twilight.
