Pages : 92
Book Description
"Alfred Maurer (1868-1932) was a prolific artist who explored numerous early twentieth century styles. Among the first American artists who went to Paris in the early 1900s to experience the new artistic movements arising there, he was particularly influenced by Henri Matisse's bold, dramatic use of color and was one of the first Americans to embrace fauvism in his art." "From his early traditional portraits to his fauvist still lifes and landscapes to his striking, eccentric nude figures. Maurer's diversity of style and subject is remarkable. Featuring a lucid, probing essay by Daphne Anderson Deeds, this lavishly illustrated book draws from the single largest public collection of Maurer's paintings and works on paper to reveal the impressive range of this significant artist's work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Creative Composites
Author: Lauren Kroiz
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520272498
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
“Creative Composites provides an intelligent, rigorous account of several under-examined figures who gathered around the photographer Alfred Stieglitz and played important roles in the first American avant-garde. Drawing on rich archival sources, Lauren Kroiz revisits the cultural debates of the period and constructs an intricate and convincing comparative analysis of the role that gender, race and ethnicity, and cultural nationalism played in the construction of American modernism. This important historical and interpretive text represents a much-needed contribution not only to the history of American art but also to American social and cultural history.”—Marcia Brennan, author of Curating Consciousness: Mysticism and the Modern Museum “Describing the associations between immigrant critics and artists enmeshed in the New York art world in the early twentieth century, Kroiz skillfully demonstrates that American modernism reached beyond its European influences and was a deeply hybrid enterprise with multiple, global, and overlapping roots. Kroiz is sure-footed when seriously addressing works of art and marvelous at working through the issues around the ethnic identities of many of the key figures. Illuminating a crucial and oft-overlooked aspect of the history of American modernism—this peripatetic and shifting multiculturalism—Creative Composites is a timely, deeply researched text that highlights the wealth of mixed ancestry in our cultural heritage.”—Jessica May, author of American Modern: Documentary Photography by Abbott, Evans, and Bourke-White
