Download American Visions Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Robert Hughes begins where American art itself began, with the Native Americans and the first Spanish invaders in the Southwest; he ends with the art of today. In between, in a scholarly text that crackles with wit, intelligence and insight, he tells the story of how American art developed. Hughes investigates the changing tastes of the American public; he explores the effects on art of America's landscape of unparalleled variety and richness; he examines the impact of the melting-pot of cultures that America has always been. Most of all he concentrates on the paintings and art objects themselves and on the men and women - from Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins to Edward Hopper and Georgia O'Keeffe, from Arthur Dove and George Bellows to Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko -awho created them. This is an uncompromising and refreshingly opinionated exploration of America, told through the lens of its art.

Download Rival Visions Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The emergence of the early American republic as a new nation on the world stage conjured rival visions in the eyes of leading statesmen at home and attentive observers abroad. Thomas Jefferson envisioned the newly independent states as a federation of republics united by common experience, mutual interest, and an adherence to principles of natural rights. His views on popular government and the American experiment in republicanism, and later the expansion of its empire of liberty, offered an influential account of the new nation. While persuasive in crucial respects, his vision of early America did not stand alone as an unrivaled model. The contributors to Rival Visions examine how Jefferson’s contemporaries—including Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Madison, and Marshall—articulated their visions for the early American republic. Even beyond America, in this age of successive revolutions and crises, foreign statesmen began to formulate their own accounts of the new nation, its character, and its future prospects. This volume reveals how these vigorous debates and competing rival visions defined the early American republic in the formative epoch after the revolution.

Download Visions of Ancient America Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The ancient peoples of Mesoamerica were the builders of magnificent civilizations. Their cities and monuments have survived the centuries and serve as testimony to their architectural genius and their refined concepts of beauty. Architectural photographer Schezen spent several years traveling throughout Mexico and Central America to capture the grandeur, mystery,and mood of the buildings that comprise the historic sites of the pre-Columbians. Occasionally he captures "too much" mystery--his "soft-focus" shots sacrificing detail to mood. But mostly this is a treasure. 101/2x101/2". Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
