The Lure of Italy: American Artists and the Italian Experience, 1760-1914 by Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr.
Unfortunately, but for the mercifully brief biographies of the artists featured, this exhibition catalog features terribly dusty writing. Making up for that though, are dozens upon dozens of beautiful, little known masterpieces depicting everything that an artist could possibly paint throughout Italy. Highlights are certainly the works by Benjamin West, J.M. Whistler and John Singer Sargent.
Essays by leading authorities on the artist's work accompany a stunning collection of nearly two hundred photographs by modernist American photographer Charles Sheeler, offering a landmark retrospective of of the work of the influential master of twentieth-century photography.
catalogue for touring exhibit of weston's photography .. mostly fractured images from nature with some portraits, delightfully oddly composed ... the exhibit started at LACMA then traveled to the cleveland museum of art, the museum of fine arts boston, and ended at the phillips collection where i hung out ... (jan-april 2002)
In 1983, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts was challenged by the Louvre in Paris to put together a massive exposition of important American Paintings. This catalog is the result with countless color plates of fine American oil paintings. This book includes the 1983 newspaper article and a folder on the exposition. The show was in Boston, Corcoran Gallery in Washington, and the Grand Palais in Paris. all in 1983-84.
