Illustrated with 133 black-and-white and color plates. Participating museums; Los ANgeles County Museum of Arth, March 21 - 28, 1972; M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, Jun 9 - September 17, 1972; and The St. Louis Art Museum, November 2 - December 31, 1972. "The development of the American West, with the creative activity which it inspired, is a phenomenon unique in the history of man. Despite the universal popularity of the "Wild West" in film and literature, it is difficult for contemporary man to realize that only a relatively short time ago Americans stood on the threshold of a new world with infinite potential for creative development. Illustrating his text with reproductions of an extensive collection of fine paintings and drawings, Larry Curry examines the motivation of both the pioneer and the artist moving into this new land. Nineteenth-century man's response to nature, and specifically to the West, is carefully considered in terms of aesthetic theory, literature, and exploration as well as in relation to the visual image. Mr. Curry considers the work of specific artists against such broad concepts as Romanticism, Transcendentalism, democracy, and Manifest Destiny. The great artistic significance of the period is also directly revealed in the wealth of illustrations of works by, among others, Karl Bodmer, Alfred Jacob Miller, George Catlin, Seth Eastman, George Caleb Bingham, John Mix Stanley, RUdolph Durz, Karl Wimar, Worthington Whittredge, Robinson Gifford, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hill, Thomas Moran, Henry F. Farney, Walter Shirlaw, Charles Russell, and Frederic Remington." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
