American Epics
Author: Austen Barron Bailly
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 3791354221
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This generously illustrated book explores the connections between Thomas Hart Benton’s art and Hollywood movies from groundbreaking perspectives. Thomas Hart Benton was a thoroughly American artist. His regionally focused paintings and murals depicted everyday American life as well as the country’s history. This volume focuses on one of the most American of Benton’s associations: Hollywood. Not only did Benton create commissioned murals and portraits of film stars and movies, but he also developed a style that was highly theatrical and narrative. This volume is the first to collect all the works conceived by Benton for the film industry. It includes related ephemera, photographs, and documents of Benton at work, along with a series of thought-provoking essays that explore a diverse array of topics—from Benton’s engagement with American identity from the 1920s to the 1960s, to parallels between Benton’s use of Old Master methods and film production techniques. Fans of Thomas Hart Benton will find surprising insights into his career, while those fascinated by Hollywood history will discover how one of America’s most revered artists shaped and was in turn influenced by the film industry.

Pages : 476
Book Description
"Thomas Hart Benton's autobiography first appeared in 1937 and met immediately with success. Thus presented, the opinions, judgments, and critical evaluations of this artist, whose works held the center of lively controversy, interested the general reader as well as the world of art. The book reappeared in 1951, bringing up to date the perspectives on life and art of a forthright participant and maker. Now, in his seventy-ninth year, Mr. Benton has added another chapter to his continuing comment on the world of art and the role of the artist in that world. His rare gift of cogent expression in letters as well as in color and line provides the reader with as vigorous and vital an experience as his paintings provide their viewers."--Dust jacket.

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1608191745
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
The drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, trailblazing Abstract Expressionist, appear to be the polar opposite of Thomas Hart Benton's highly figurative Americana. Yet the two men had a close and highly charged relationship dating from Pollock's days as a student under Benton. Pollock's first and only formal training came from Benton, and the older man soon became a surrogate father to Pollock. In true Oedipal fashion, Pollock even fell in love with Benton's wife. Pollock later broke away from his mentor artistically, rocketing to superstardom with his stunning drip compositions. But he never lost touch with Benton or his ideas-in fact, his breakthrough abstractions reveal a strong debt to Benton's teachings. I n an epic story that ranges from the cafés and salons of Gertrude Stein's Paris to the highways of the American West, Henry Adams, acclaimed author of Eakins Revealed, unfolds a poignant personal drama that provides new insights into two of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
