London and New York: Routledge - Taylor & Francis Group, 2000. Second Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 7" x 9 3/4. 383 Pages Indexed. Light wear to front cover. No other defects noted and interior text pages are flawless. This book brings together key writings on debates about Abstract Expressionism and Modernist art history. It is an essential resource for understanding post-war American art and culture. The second edition has been fully revised and updated in response to new critical approaches to post-war American art. It includes nine new articles and a substantial overview essay by Francis Frascina. Articles are grouped into three parts, each with an introduction by the editor. Part One includes two foundational articles by the influential Modernist critic, Clement Greenberg, and represents the debate about Greenberg's work, with contributions by T.J. Clark and Michael Fried. Part Two focuses on revisionist writers, who questioned established ideas about Modernist art history, examining the relationship between Abstract Expressionism and the politics of McCarthyism and the Cold War. The third part, which is new to this Second Edition, is devoted to recent developments of revisionist critiques. Contributors explore the work of Greenberg's contemporaries, the relationship between critical and commercial responses to Abstract Expressionism, and perceptions of cultural value in the 1940s and 1950s, and challenge assumptions about ethnicity, gender and sexuality in the construction of the post-war American artist., Routledge - Taylor & Francis Group, 2000, 3, Boston : Bulfinch Press, 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Physical description; 288 p. : ill. (some col.), maps, ports. ; 29 cm. Contents; Introduction: The impressionists' world -- The exhibition years: (1874-1886) -- Divergent destinies: (1887-1899) -- The impressionist legacy: (1900-today) -- Reference data: Biographical index -- Maps -- Impressionist locations -- Art in the western world, (1863-today) -- Gazetteer of major impressionist collections. Summary; When Monet falls and injures his leg, young Frederic Bazille entertains the sufferer by painting his portrait in bed; when Monet is penniless and his mistress pregnant, Bazille buys one of his paintings out of charity. But Bazille dies in the Franco-Prussian War, while Monet lives on to become a great master and to enjoy a productive and prosperous old age lasting well into the twentieth century. This story, which stretches from the 1860s to the 1920s, is just one of a vast number of intriguing narratives that weave through this unique diary of the Impressionist movement. From the rise of Manet as the most controversial artist of the mid-nineteenth century to the record-breaking prices achieved at auction over the last decade, the most important artistic events, exhibitions, and sales are chronicled, as are the artists' personal lives: their relationships, children, allegiances, political activities, passions, obsessions, hatreds, and quarrels. Carefully selected extracts from the artists' private letters and diaries and from reviews and studies allow the reader to hear the actual voices and opinions of the time; the book's unique arrangement allows access to an immense data base of information on particular subjects or areas of interest. Contemporary historical events - political, economic, social, cultural - are recorded in parallel with the artistic developments. A huge number of images of all kinds, including paintings and drawings, photographs, posters, book jackets, letters, and even caricatures, reveal the splendor of the great masterpieces and the reality of the world in which they were created. The Chronicle of Impressionism is a complete record of the artists and their times, tracing the story of Impressionism as it unfolds. This is the one indispensable guide to the movement that more than any other has shaped the path of modern painting. Subjects; Impressionism (Art). Art, Modern -- 19th century. Art, Modern -- 20th century. Genre; Biography., Boston : Bulfinch Press, 1993, 0<
