In that year, the National Academy of Design in New York began a series of annual exhibitions featuring works by 200 to 300 artists, and for decades afterward this venerable institution led the way in introducing important new talent to the art world. Until the advent of Modernism in the early 20th century, the Academy remained one of only a few venues to regularly exhibit contemporary art. Rave Reviews explores the role that these exhibitions played in the development of American art criticism and the dissemination and marketing of American art. Rave Reviews is the first book to combine essays on the development of art criticism with illustrations of many of America's best-loved masterpieces. Works by artists such as Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, Harriet Hosmer, John Singer Sargent, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Thomas Eakins, Anna Hyatt Huntington, John Sloan, and Charles Hawthorne are examined through the critical commentary of their time, giving readers a fresh look at the art world between 1826 and 1925." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: An introduction to the history of American art criticism to 1925, by David B.
