Zustand: Sehr gut. 159 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Though often thought of as the quintessential artist of Western frontier life, George Caleb Bingham was actually born in Virginia. In 181g, at the age of eight, he traveled to the Missouri Territory with his family, joining the many other Americans migrating west in search of a better life. And, in fact, Bingham's boyhood in Franklin was in many ways an American idyll-the lively, impressionable boy spending his days along the river watching the men and boats that were later to be among his most resonant artistic subjects. Later, in his early twenties, Bingham set out on a long journey of artistic and personal development. As his artistic skills sharpened, Bingham found his unique themes by drawing upon his memories of life on the Missouri River and upon his passionate involvement with the politics of mid-century America. In a period of intense creativity, from 1845 to 1857, Bingham left a rich artistic heritage that included such masterpieces as Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, The Jolly Flatboatmen, and The Verdict of the People. Since Bingham's death in 1879, much of this legacy remained unknown, but beginning in the 1930s, his significance to American art has become increasingly apparent. In this volume, Michael Edward Shapiro, Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and organizer of the Saint Louis Art Museum's important 1990 Bingham retrospective, draws together the new advances in Bingham scholarship to present a fresh look at the artist's life and career.

Sheet: 22 3/4 x 26 3/4 in.; 57.8 x 68.0 cm), captioned "From the Original Painting Distributed by the American Art Union 1857 | Published exclusively for the Members of that Year." Matted. Expertly closed four-inch tear at center of bottom margin, just touching three letters in caption and extending to the base of the flat boat, minor tear at center of left margin. (65B2B) Known as "the Missouri Artist" in his lifetime, Bingham was one of the most important painters of genre subjects in the mid-19th century. His early years were spent in Missouri, and he knew at first hand the life of the frontier, especially the comings and goings of the boatmen who ferried cargo on the great rivers of the Midwest. His scenes of life and work on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers established his reputation and are today recognized as his finest creations. Intended for audiences in eastern cities such as New York and Philadelphia, his paintings portrayed boatmen as the rough-hewn characters who were instrumental in pushing the American frontier ever farther westward. In 1847, the American Art-Union, which had purchased The Jolly Flatboatmen (1846) directly from the artist, produced a large mezzotint of it that was distributed to its members (approximately 10,000) throughout the country, immediately making it one of the best known and treasured icons of American art. It depicts a group of boatmen who, after a day of hard work on the river, are now relaxing and dancing to a lively tune played on a fiddle and an impromptu percussive instrument in the form of a pan. Bingham's attention to detail is everywhere evident: a raccoon pelt hanging from a nail; a coil of rope; a shirt hanging to dry; and a turkey, which pokes its head out between the slats of the crate below the dancing man. The composition is at once dynamic-with the exuberance of the dancing man and the gusto of the musicians-as well as visually concise in the way Bingham arranged the figures to form a well-balanced triangle.Dr. Lester E.

1st Edition. "Single sheet, mounted and framed, (24 x 31 inches). Fine engraved print with original hand color in full. First edition. Engraved by Sartain after the 1852 painting by Bingham. One of the leading American genre painters of the mid-nineteenth century, George Caleb Bingham (1811-1879) created some of the most memorable views of American small town life. Bingham was fascinated by the democratic process and by the ways in which it permeated everyday existence in communities far removed from the big cities. "The County Election" was part of a six-painting Election Series; the other paintings were "Stump Orator" (1847), "Country Politician" (1849), "Canvassing for a Vote" (1852), "Stump Speaking" (1853), and "The Verdict of the People" (1854-55). "Forgetting perhaps that Bingham had a strong political bias of a militant Whig campaigner for state office, it would seem that recent students of his epic paintings on the American voting process have overlooked the subtle but incisive element of social criticism lodged in his famous work, 'The County Election.' Bingham, it seems, had serious misgivings about the introduction of universal manhood suffrage, with its equalitarian impact on American life, and he particularly resented it when in 1846 he felt he had been unfairly deprived of office by the gerrymandering activity of a Missouri political rival. On its surface, 'The County Election' appears to celebrate the new political ferment that Americans from Bangor, Maine, to the Western frontier were experiencing at mid-century. However, read more carefully as a document of social history, this canvas suggests that Bingham, like his contemporary, James Fenimore Cooper, saw the stability and integrity of the American milieu staggering under the impact of a too rapidly expanding body politic and the rigors of a laissez-faire economic system" (Westervelt, p. 46). "Intemperance was also associated with corrupt politics. George Caleb Bingham's 'County Election' of 1852 depicts the customary practice of candidates' serving free liquor to woo voters before an electionIn Bingham's painting, voters are enjoying their whiskey, with the result that some are too drunk even to stand, all before a banner hanging overhead that intones, 'The Will of the People, the Supreme Law.' Such scenes, describing a purchased and likely inebriated electorate, delivered a slap to the actual practice of direct democracy" (Barter, ed., p. 111). Robert F.
