MORRIS, KATHLEEN M. Wall power : modern French tapestry from the Mobilier national, Paris. Williamstown, Massachusetts: Clark Art Institute, distributed by Yale University Press, 2024, 1st printing number line ending in 1, 143pp., . Published in the occasion of the exhibition of the same title, presented at the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts, from December 14, 2024, to March 9, 2025 - "Beginning in the 1930s, artists, government officials, art dealers, and entrepreneurs sought ways to modernize the ancient tradition of tapestry-making in France to reassert its role as an independent art form available to contemporary artists. What followed was several decades of intense production that brought international attention to a renewed tradition of French tapestry, as well as new opportunities for the historic manufactories of Gobelins and Beauvais, now overseen by the Mobilier national of France. Drawing from the celebrated collection of the Mobilier national from the 1940s to present day, this book explores the works of such artists as Joan Miró, Jean Lurçat, Henri Matisse, and Le Corbusier, who were central to the rapid resurgence of tapestry production" - CONTENTS: "Think big, think wall, think wool!" : Modern French tapestry and artistic collaboration / Kathleen M.

First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 360 pages; Description: 360 p. : ill. ; 27 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Subjects: Painting, American - 18th century -19th century. Nationalism and art --United States. Series: Issues & debates. Summary: American painters and graphic artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries sought inspiration for their work in the uniquely American experience of history and nature. The result was a transformation of the conventional Old World visual language into an indigenous and populist New World syntax. The twelve essays in this volume explore the development of a frontier mythology, a democratic style depicting common people and objects, and an American artistic consciousness and identity. Conceived and written from the perspectives of both cultural and art historians, American Icons initiates an interdisciplinary discussion on the complex relationships between American and European art. Contributors are Herbert Beck, Werner Busch, Martin Christadler, Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr. , Francoise Forster-Hahn, Ursula Frohne, Barbara Gaehtgens, Thomas W.

This is a publication by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA), the Gallery's research institute. The development of photography from the mid-nineteenth century onward transformed the conditions of appreciation, marketing, and distribution of works of art. The role of the photographic album in this history has not been previously explored in a published study. Here, in twelve collected essays, scholars discuss the many different types of albums that were pioneers in this change, the photographic processes they represent, and their relationship to older reproductive media, with examples drawn mainly from nineteenth-century France, Great Britain, and Germany.
