NPS h lo- iRn -, United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Robert Edward Lee Sculpture Section number 7 Page 1 Albemarle County, Vigima Description: The monumental figurative sculpture of Robert Edward Lee is the second of four works commissioned from members of the National Sculpture Society by philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire and the last of three he gave to the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, during the years 1919 to 1924. McIntire wished to make a place worthy of the likeness of the most distinguished Confederate general when, on 28 May 1917, he purchased as a setting for the sculpture, a city block of 45,435 square feet bounded by Jefferson and Market Streets and by First and Second Streets NE.1 Over the next year he demolished the 1829 Southall-Venable home on the site and created a formal landscaped square, now known as Lee Park, which was the first of four parks he eventually gave to Charlottesville. Today, wide concrete walkways lead into the park at each comer and along First Street, and they converge on a central plaza where boxwood, Japanese holly, and lemon balm surround the heroic-sized bronze figures of Lee and his horse, Traveller, atop their oval-shaped granite pedestal. For Paul McIntire the sculpture of Lee proved most troublesome. When Henry Shrady was commissioned to execute the sculpture in 1917, McIntire could not have known that almost seven years would elapse before the bronze portraits of Lee and Traveller were finally erected in Charlottesville. Chronically ill, Shrady worked very slowly and died before the work was finished. Subsequently, Leo Lentelli completed the sculpture in 1924 and when it was cast at the Roman Bronze Works of Brooklyn, New York, the piece was signed CONCENED BY SHRADY - EXECUTED BY LEO LENTELLI SC. 1924. Lentelli, however, did not give Lee and Traveller the vitality Shrady had envisioned, for Shrady's small model of the sculpture, now at the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library in Charlottesville, shows animation, while Lentelli's larger figures are quieter but more dignified and powerful. Lentelli's Lee is solemn as he sits upright on his horse. He is in uniform with gloved hands but is not wearing the hat Shrady's model shows. lnstead his proper right arm is carried down and he holds the hat in his proper right hand against the horse's side. His proper left arm is bent and he restrains Traveller with the reins in his proper left hand. Lee's legs extend down along the horse's sides almost stiffly and his boots are supported in stirrups covered with broad spats. A sword on his proper left is suspended from his waist as if it would be available quickly should he need it. Lentelli has made a large and important Traveller. The horse is depicted at a brisk walk with his proper left front leg extended forward and his proper right hind leg elevated. His regal tail is arched out behind his body to show his impatience while Lee reins him in. Lee United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Robert Edward Lee Sculpture Section numbers 7&8 Pages 2 &1 Albemarle County, Virginia has Traveller well in hand, but the horse's neck is overbent and his mouth is open as he pulls against the bit. The sculpture is approximately 26 feet high, 12 feet long, and eight feet wide at the bottom of the pedestal. A bright green patina, the result of oxidation from 71 years of exposure, is notable on the bronze figures. Heavy streaks of corrosion extend down the general's torso and the horse's face and chest and along his shoulders and flanks onto the base of the sculpture and the pedestal. Dark striated discoloration is prominent 'on the sides of the pedestal beneath the figure of the horse. Shrady selected architect Walter Blair to design the oval-shaped pedestal of smooth pink granite that supports Lee and Traveller, and it was executed by Lloyd Brothers Memorials, of Washington, D. C. On the east face, the rounded front of the pedestal, Blair placed a fighting eagle with wings expanded and almost surrounded by oak leaves, while on the west face, the rounded rear of the pedestal, he balanced the eagle and oak leaves with a wreath of laurel.

The articles, like all others in this publication, were written primarily by professors and educators. Two: Rejecting the First Amendment PAGE 124 Today’s colleges and universities have mastered the art of intimidation—not only silencing students who might deviate from the current orthodoxy on campus, but also making it clear that professors risk their tenure if they don’t toe the political line.

His experience was mirrored by many other conservative professors and analysts, including Heather Mac Donald and Professor Amy Wax.

It is the century that witnessed the greatest expression of the Academic tradition and it is the era that launched modernism through the developments of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. * * * * * * * * * * * * Academic: Realism. It is best defined as an artist’s mastery of a variety of painting techniques, including the depiction of atmosphere and natural light, intended to produce a picture that mimicked reality. This style reached its height in the latter part of the 19th century. Major artists of this period include: William Bouguereau, Jean-Léon Gérome, Alexandre Cabanel, Briton Riviere, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Modern: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; the commencement of modern painting. This period is the beginning of experimentation with form, color, brushwork, and subject matter leading to modern art. These artists experimented with depicting the effects of light and using expressive color and brushwork to portray both figures and landscapes. Founding members include: Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Albert Guillaumin—and their contemporaries—Edmond Petitjean, Henri Lebasque, Henri Martin, and Georges d’Espagnat. These artitsts produced works which continue to be most favored for their market value and aesthetic merit. 2 (at The Ritz-Carlton) Welcome to Guarisco Gallery Guarisco Gallery is a leading international gallery founded in 1980 specializing in museum quality 19th - and early 20th - century paintings and sculpture.

Catterson: From Florence, to London, to New York: Mr. Morgan’s Bronze Doors Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 16, no. 2 (Autumn 2017) From Florence, to London, to New York: Mr. Morgan’s Bronze Doors by Lynn Catterson This article, based on recently discovered material in several archives, tells the story of the bronze doors of the Morgan Library.[1] It narrates the travel of the allegedly Renaissance bronze doors from their acquisition in Florence in 1901, to their brief sojourn in London before arriving in New York to adorn the principal façade of McKim, Mead & White’s building. This case study also addresses the attribution of the work to Thomas Waldo Story (1855– 1915) and analyzes his position within the complex social microcosm of the art market in which the acquisition of J. Pierpont Morgan’s doors took place. The Transaction of the Doors On Friday, May 10, 1901, the New York attorney and financier William Salomon (1852– 1919)[2] visited Florence in order to acquire art and decorative furnishings for his future mansion at 1020 Fifth Avenue, across the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

    EREN HBO Max Pulls 'Gone with the Wind,' Citing Racist Depictions

    EREN HBO Max Pulls ‘Gone With the Wind,’ Citing Racist Depictions The New York Times, by Daniel Victor, June 10, 2020 The streaming service said it planned to eventually bring the 1939 film back “with a discussion of its historical context.” HBO Max has removed from its catalog “Gone With the Wind,” the 1939 movie long considered a triumph of American cinema but one that romanticizes the Civil War-era South while glossing over its racial sins. The streaming service pledged to eventually bring the film back “with a discussion of its historical context” while denouncing its racial missteps, a spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday. Set on a plantation and in Atlanta, the film won multiple Academy Awards, including best picture and best supporting actress for Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Oscar, and it remains among the most celebrated movies in cinematic history. But its rose-tinted depiction of the antebellum South and its blindness to the horrors of slavery have long been criticized, and that scrutiny was renewed this week as protests over police brutality and the death of George Floyd continued to pull the United States into a wide- ranging conversation about race. “‘Gone With the Wind’ is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society,” an HBO Max spokesperson said in a statement. “These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible.” HBO Max, owned by AT&T, pulled the film on Tuesday, one day after John Ridley, the screenwriter of “12 Years a Slave,” wrote an op-ed in The Los Angeles Times calling for its removal.
