Book excerpt: Twenty-five essays on great works of American art and design from the "Masterpiece" column in The Wall Street Journal. John Wilmerding's "Masterpiece" column is among the The Wall Street Journal's most popular features. This book gathers those essays by Wilmerding, the distinguished former curator of American art at the National Gallery. Each essay integrates a detailed visual analysis with insights not only into the art and its creator, but also into the historical context at the time of the artwork's execution. American Masterpieces features a full-sized reproduction of each sculpture, painting, piece of architecture, and photograph discussed. Some such as Mary Cassatt's "Little Girl in a Blue Armchair" (along with pieces by Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth) are well known. Many others (such as Henry H. Richardson's Crane Memorial Library in Quincy, Massachusetts) are largely unregarded. No matter how well you know art, you are certain to make new discoveries. This broad, representative, and eclectic selection of the best this country has produced is for anyone looking for a smart, opinionated, and always engaging guide to American art and art history.

Download or read book American Masterpieces from the National Gallery of Art written by John Wilmerding and published by New York : Hudson Hills Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlarged to accommodate museum acquisitions from the 1980s, this revised edition serves as both a beautifully packaged promotional piece for the National Gallery and a concise survey of American art history. In his introductory essay, Wilmerding explores the collecting history of this relatively young museum and explains how individual works fit into an art historical framework. While this introduction ranges over the collection, covering drawings, watercolors, sculpture, photography, and prints, the body of the book includes only paintings. Seventy-five masterpieces, beginning with a colonial portrait by Benjamin West and concluding with an Abstract Expressionist canvas by Robert Motherwell, are illustrated by handsome color plates. Short biographies of the artists represented appear as an addendum. Great for browsing.-- Kathleen Eagen Johnson, Historic Hudson Valley, Tarrytown, N.Y. -Library Journal.

Download or read book America's National Gallery of Art written by Philip Kopper and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 1991 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsome tribute to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. traces the history of the museum from conception to construction on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary. Opened with great fanfare, the National Gallery was "the richest single gift from any individual to any nation ever." That individual was financier Andrew Mellon. Kopper's succinct biography covers Mellon's personal and political life as well as his passion for collecting the paintings of old masters. Mellon's bequest stipulated the museum's name, location, and details of governance, ensuring continued high standards and a vital future. Kopper includes profiles of the architect and various museum directors, including Mellon's son Paul, as well as illustrations that document some of the collection's highlights.
