Cezanne: 185+ Landscape Paintings - Post-Impressionism - Paul Cezanne - Annotated Series 09/05/2014

by Daniel Ankele , Denise Ankele , Paul Cezanne

$5.19

PAUL CEZANNE: LANDSCAPES Art Book contains 185+ Reproductions of Oil and Watercolor Landscapes with annotations and biography. Book includes Table of Contents, Top 50 Museums of the World and is compatible with all Kindle devices, Kindle for iOS and Android tablets (use rotate and/or zoom feature on landscape/horizontal images for optimal viewing).

(Author Note: This art book contains only reproductions of Cezanne's landscape work. For his portrait, nudes and still lifes, see our other Cezanne Kindle books.)

The bearded Provençal leans disconcertingly into his subject, the mighty Mont Sainte-Victoire in the distance. He has painted this mountain many times before, but his tenacious concentration is not dimmed as his bloodshot eyes bulge out of his head, reaching toward nature. Then, adding an overlapping layer of tone and form, he daubs another patch of color, building carefully towards realization.

Even more than most artists, Paul Cézanne’s life was his work. As his friend and fellow-painter Émile Bernard once said, “his method of study was a meditation with a brush in his hands.” His times were tumultuous; while Cézanne was still in school, the restored monarchy was dislodged in favor of the Second Republic (1848), which was soon thrust aside as its leader crowned himself the new emperor (1852). And when Cézanne was in his early thirties, struggling to establish himself in the Parisian art scene, the Franco-Prussian War led to the Siege of Paris and the crumbling of the Second Empire as internecine violence gripped the streets. Then the Third Republic and a France that increasingly swept aside old ways in a surge of industrial and urban development. Yet, you must search hard to find signs of these events in Cézanne’s work (cont).

John Singer Sargent (A-M): 515+ Realist Paintings - Realism, Impressionism 28/07/2011

by Daniel Ankele , Denise Ankele , John Singer Sargent

( 24 )

JOHN SINGER SARGENT A-M Art Book contains 515+ Reproductions of Impressionist and Realist portraits, landscapes, and seascapes with annotations and biography. Book includes Table of Contents, Top 50 Museums and is formatted for all Kindle devices, Kindle for iOS and Android tablets (use rotate and/or zoom feature on landscape/horizontal images for optimal viewing).

(Due to the large number of paintings produced by Sargent, this volume contains his A-M titles only. See volume II for titles N-Z with 500 more images.)

The life of artist John Singer Sargent was one full of contradictions. An American, he was born in Florence, Italy, to expatriate parents FitzWilliam and Mary Sargent. Called “the leading portrait painter of his generation”, portraits were not necessarily his favorite subject, his preference being for landscapes and architectural themes. Working when Impressionism and Cubism were on the rise, Sargent painted with exquisite Realism, bringing to mind the grand masters he studied such as Gainsborough, Tintoretto, Velasquez, and Degas. And finally, the work he considered “...the best thing I have ever done,” was a portrait that when initially exhibited received such a negative reaction that it likely prompted him to move from Paris to London. Yet somehow in the midst of all this contradiction, perhaps even because of it, his work is dazzling.

Sargent’s childhood was, to say the least, unusual. His parents left the United States in 1854, for the health of his mother, who suffered a breakdown after the death of their first daughter, at age two. Although the move to Europe was always labeled temporary, they never returned to live in America. Based in Paris, they were nomadic in Europe, constantly moving--again, for reasons of health. They sought temperate climates at all seasons of the year, traveling between the seashore and the mountains. Stopped in Florence because of a cholera epidemic, John was born on what is traditionally accepted to be January 12, although his father, writing home to American relatives, allowed it might have been the 11th, or even the 10th.

Due to their unsettled lifestyle, John’s education was necessarily sporadic. He had occasional tutors, but most of his learning came from lessons with his father, as well as his mother’s dedication to exposing him to the fine museums and cathedrals in the various places to which they traveled. His parents both showed artistic talent. His father, an eye doctor, was a gifted medical illustrator, and his mother a fine amateur artist who provided her son with sketchbooks and drawing pencils during a time when artistic talent wasn’t often encouraged. At age 13 she would say of him, “John sketches quite nicely... If we could afford to give him really good lessons, he would soon be quite a little artist.” (Continued)

Book includes; Annotations, Edward Curtis Biography, Table of Contents, Top 50 Museums of the World and is compatible with all Kindle devices, Kindle for iOS and Android tablets (use rotate and/or zoom feature on landscape/horizontal images for optimal viewing).

Edward Sheriff Curtis was born on February 16, 1868 in Whitewater, Wisconsin. His father, Reverend Asahel “Johnson” Curtis, was also a Civil War Veteran. Although he had purchased and attempted to work a farm, Rev. Curtis was so weakened by the war that the family suffered severe poverty and hardship. In 1874 they moved to Minnesota to work with Rev. Curtis’ father, also named Asahel, in his grocery store. He was also the Postmaster.

Even after moving, the Curtis family’s life was difficult. Edward, also called Eddy, often supplemented the family dinner table with whatever he could catch—muskrats, snapping turtles, fish. He left school in sixth grade, and soon after, built himself a camera, after discovering a camera lens brought home by his father from the war and following instructions he found in Wilson’s Photographics. Taking photographs was a welcome addition to his dreary life, and it was something to be proud of. But at age fourteen he was forced to mostly put the camera aside; with his older brother leaving home and his father becoming more and more ill, it was left to him to support the family. He got a part-time job with the railroad, and relied more than ever on bringing home wildlife to provide the family food, along with the kitchen garden that he planted. Still, photography remained a passion, and by age 17 he had become apprenticed to a photographer in St. Paul. Two years later, having tapped out all their possibilities in Minnesota the entire family moved west to Puget Sound, Washington. Eddy and his father went out first. They homesteaded, building a cabin, planting a garden and fruit trees. A few months later, in the spring of 1888, the rest of the family joined them. But the happy reunion was short-lived, as Rev. Curtis’ health problems finally caught up with him, and he died of pneumonia three days after the rest of the family arrived. A near-fatal accident falling from a log severely damaged Eddy’s spine not long after, causing him to remain nearly bed-ridden for almost a year.

The forced inactivity, however, gave Curtis time to look out the window at the beautiful Washington landscapes, and also time to return to experimenting with photography. He decided to pursue photography professionally, and moved to Seattle, where he purchased a partnership in a photographic studio for $150. He was soon joined by Clara Phillips, with whom he had begun a friendship back in Puget Sound, and they were married. After six months in his original partnership, he left to form a new studio with Thomas Guptill, “Curtis and Guptill Photographers and Photoengravers”. Success followed rapidly, and after just four years in Seattle he had become very well-known in the community. His claim was to produce the “…finest photographic work in the city” and it seemed everyone agreed. (cont)
