The invention of painting in America / by Rosand, David.(CARDINAL)157019;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-203) and index.Declarations of Independence -- Style and the Puritan Aesthetic -- Artists of Recognized Standing -- Subjects of the Artist."In this study David Rosand shows how early American painters transformed themselves from provincial followers of the established traditions of Europe into some of the most innovative and influential artists in the world. Moving beyond simple descriptions of what distinguishes American art from other movements and forms, The Invention of Painting in America explores not only the status of artists and their personal relationship to their work but also the larger dialogue between the artist and society. Rosand looks to the intensely studied portraits of America's early painters - especially Copley and Eakins and the landscapes of Homer and Inness, among others - each of whom grappled with conflicting cultural attitudes and different expressive styles in order to reinvent the art of painting. He discusses the work of Davis, Gorky, de Kooning, Pollock, Rothko, and Motherwell and the subjects and themes that engaged them."--Jacket.

Abstract expressionists : the women / by Landau, Ellen G.,author.(CARDINAL)168593; Marter, Joan M.,author.(CARDINAL)147741;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The dominant movement of the New York and San Francisco art scenes of the mid-twentieth century, Abstract Expressionism is celebrated as being the first major development in Americant art to gain international status. The movement is synonymous with the work of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning, but also belonging to this generation who changed the course of modern art were numerous female artists; only in recent years have their contributions begun to receive the recognition they deserve. The remarkable women featured in this exciting new book--among them Elaine de Kooning, Dorothy Dehner, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Lee Krasner, and Joan Mitchell--studied at the same galleries, and were part of the same social scene. Yet, in an era that valued conformity, they remained largely in the shadow of their male counterparts. This magnificent publication presents the works of the Levett Collection, an unparalleled private collection of art by women Abstract Expressionists. Richly illustrated essays by Ellen G. Landau and Joan M. Marter consider, respectively, the vital role of women in the development of Abstract Expressionism and the work of women sculptors of the movement. Full of exuberant color and densely layered expression, the main section of the book is devoted to more than fifty paintings, collages, and sculptures, all accompanied by illuminating quotations from the women about their artistic inspirations, techniques, and experiences. An illustrated timeline and thirty-five artist biographies provide further insight, making this volume an essential addition to the study of Abstract Expressionist women, innovators whose time in the spotlight has finally come. --Book jacket
