19th-century Art

Vilhelm Hammersh©ıi

This book - the catalogue accompanying a widely acclaimed exhibition at Ordrupgaard, Copenhagen, the Musee d'Orsay, Paris, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York - reveals the mysterious, melancholy world evoked in Hammershoi's works. Hammershoi's originality was recognized by his peers, but his work was too controversial to gain much support in Denmark during his lifetime. However, it was appreciated by collectors and institutions in England, France, Germany, and Italy, where it became known in exhibitions from the 1890s until his death. Frequently compared to Vermeer in his extraordinary use of line, light, and shadow, Hammershoi punctuates his hallmark interiors and landscapes with a mood of concentrated solitude. His remarkable portraits of friends and family become psychological studies, often revealing the isolation and loneliness of long, dark Scandinavian Winters.

Portraiture was at a crossroads from 1770-1830, a period when the influence of monarchs and aristocrats waned in favor of the new pioneers of democracy. This catalogue traces the evolving presentation of the portrait sitter, with sumptuous full-color reproductions of works by masters presented alongside lesser-known but equally intriguing pieces. An international team of scholars provides valuable information on sitters as well as artists, plus discussions of key works from the Enlightenment and revolutionary period.

Rosenblum's "Transformations in late Eighteenth century art" is still one of th best and most inspiring books on the art of neoclassicism and early romaticism. Encompassing both pictorial arts and architecture, it points central themes in the arts of that time. It offers clues to further investigations as to the seminal character of the fundamental changes in the art and architecture of the late 18th century. And it is wonderfully wide in perspective and clear in its argument. It presents a number of focus in a period where one gets easily lost in either superficial statements or far too detailed information.

A book that broke new ground when it was first published, "19th-Century Art" today reads with the same authority and scholarly verve as it has for the past twenty years. This revised and updated edition remains true to the original, with its magisterial survey of painting and sculpture presented in four historical parts, beginning in 1776 and ending with the dawn of the new century at the Paris Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) of 1900. The text draws on the historical documentation of the period, tracing the dynamics of the making and viewing of art, and examining the reciprocal influences of art and technology, art and politics, art and literature, art and music. "19th-Century Art" has been influential in cementing the reputations of many painters and sculptors, and this new edition adds more artists to the pantheon. It also explores for the first time the work of photographers, who themselves provoked new ways of looking at nineteenth-century painting. Historical perspective is enhanced in this edition with a selection of sparkling critical and artistic responses to many of the key works of art since their creation, such as: Gericault on the public response to his famous "Raft of the Medusa, " John Ruskin on Turner, and poet Baudelaire on the sculpture of the day. To match the opulence of the subject, the new edition features 540 illustrations, 370 of which are in full color.
