This remarkable collection was assembled by Stella Rutledge Thurston (1925-2015), who with her husband, Doc Jones Thurston, Jr. (1908-1993), was a prominent philanthropist in Charlotte, North Carolina. A captain of industry, Mr. Thurston established Thurston Motor Lines, which became a leader in the motor carrier field, and later expanded into aviation. Mrs. Thurston devoted herself to her philanthropic work, her carefully curated collections, and her elegant, gracious homes, where she entertained family and friends with warm Southern hospitality. The Thurston Collection comprises the contents of the Thurston’s home in Charlotte’s historic Eastover neighborhood and their Grandfather Mountain retreat. With a connoisseur’s eye, Mrs. Thurston amassed remarkable collections of important Georgian silver, fine porcelains, European and American paintings, and autograph documents and letters. Property from Mrs. Thurston’s collection comprises 54 lots offered throughout the sale.

This PDF provides paragraph numbers as well as page numbers for citation purposes. ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 COLLECTING OLD MASTERS FOR NEW YORK: HENRY GURDON MARQUAND AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Esmée Quodbach The subject of this article is the collector Henry Gurdon Marquand (1819–1902), banker and railroad financier, and a noted member of the burgeoning class of newly prosperous business magnates of Gilded Age New York. An exception- ally civic-minded patron, Marquand set out in the early 1880s to assemble a group of first-class Old Master paintings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This paper explores Marquand’s acquisitions, especially the Flemish and Dutch paintings he bought. Focusing on Marquand’s 1889 gift of thirty-seven Old Masters to the museum—the first gift of its kind—this paper also considers Marquand’s aspirations, not only as a major private collector but especially as a leading donor to the institution, whose second president he became in 1889.

  • 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.

  • The Hudson River School
    Art, Artists and Nature: The Hudson River School The landscape paintings created by the 19 th century artist known as the Hudson River School celebrate the majestic beauty of the American wilderness. Students will learn about the elements of art, early 19 th century American culture, the creative process, environmental concerns and the connections to the birth of American literature. New York State Standards: Elementary, Intermediate, and Commencement The Visual Arts – Standards 1, 2, 3, 4 Social Studies – Standards 1, 3 ELA – Standards 1, 3, 4 BRIEF HISTORY By the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was no longer the vast, wild frontier it had been just one hundred years earlier. Cities and industries determined where the wilderness would remain, and a clear shift in feeling toward the American wilderness was increasingly ruled by a new found reverence and longing for the undisturbed land. At the same time, European influences - including the European Romantic Movement - continued to shape much of American thought, along with other influences that were distinctly and uniquely American. The traditions of American Indians and their relationship with nature became a recognizable part of this distinctly American Romanticism. American writers put words to this new romantic view of nature in their works, further influencing the evolution of American thought about the natural world. It found means of expression not only in literature, but in the visual arts as well. A focus on the beauty of the wilderness became the passion for many artists, the most notable came to be known as the Hudson River School Artists. The Hudson River School was a group of painters, who between 1820s and the late nineteenth century, established the first true tradition of landscape painting in the United States.

Bill and I are excited that you are here and hope you enjoy our exciting new exhibit, She Persists: A Century of Women Artists in New York. These 60 works of art tell a powerful story about the persistence of women. From the very beginning of the de Blasio administration, we have made it our mission to honor that persistence by taking significant actions to create a stronger foundation for gender equity in our city. More parents than ever before can stay home and care for a sick child — without losing the day’s pay or being fired. More women can take time to recover from childbirth and bond with their baby. Employers can no longer use past salary history as justification for unfair pay in the present.

  • The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision
    The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision Marie-François-Régis Gignoux (1814–1882) Mammoth Cave, Kentucky , ca. 1843 Oil on canvas Gift of an Anonymous Donor, X.21 After training at the French École des Beaux-Arts , Gignoux immigrated to the United States, where he soon established himself as a landscape specialist. He was drawn to a vast underground system of corridors and chambers in Kentucky known as Mammoth Cave. The site portrayed has been identified as the Rotunda—so named because its grand, uninterrupted interior space recalls that of the Pantheon in Rome. Gignoux created a romantic image rooted in fact and emotion. In contrast to the bright daylight glimpsed through the cavern mouth, the blazing fire impresses a hellish vision that contemporaneous viewers may have associated with the manufacture of gunpowder made from the bat guano harvested and rendered in vats in that very space since the War of 1812. William Trost Richards (1833–1905) June Woods (Germantown) , 1864 Oil on linen The Robert L. Stuart Collection, S–127 Richards followed the stylistic trajectory of the Hudson River School early in his career, except for a brief time in the early 1860s, when he altered his technique and compositional approach in response to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics of the English critic John Ruskin. Ruskin’s call for absolute fidelity to nature manifested itself in the United States in a radical 1 group of artists who formed the membership of the Association for the Advancement of Truth in Art, to which Richards was elected in 1863.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.
