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.

"In the mid-1930s, John Nicholas and Anne Brown commissioned Richard Neutra [1892-1970], the great Vienna-born architect, to design a summer house for them on Fishers Island, New York. Completed in 1938, Windshield (named for its large expanses of glass) was the first house Neutra built on the East Coast. A striking example of International Style architecture that featured many modern innovations, the house was severely damaged by a hurricane only weeks after its completion. The Browns rebuilt the house and continued to occupy it until 1959; it was destroyed by fire in 1973. This engaging publication, written by prominent scholars of contemporary architecture and design, is the first to focus on the collaborative design process for Windshield, as revealed by the extensive Brown-Neutra correspondence, as well as on the house's place within modern American architecture."

Hines -- Richard Neutra's Windshield and modern architecture in the United States / Dietrich Neumann -- The furniture and furnishing of Windshield / Thomas S.
