Reminiscences of William Wetmore Story, the American Sculptor and Author by Mary E. Phillips Pdf

Excerpt from Reminiscences of William Wetmore Story, the American Sculptor and Author: Being Incidents and Anecdotes Chronologically Arranged Material for the following pages was obtained through a letter of introduction to the late Mr. Story from Miss Eliza Allen Starr of Chicago, Illinois. This letter was written eight or ten years ago with the purpose of enabling the bearer to obtain all possible information for Miss Starr's "Lectures Upon Living Artists." It naturally gave unusual opportunities for hearing from Mr. Story's own lips much that was of the greatest interest and value, and resulted in an acquaintance which afterward became friendship. Most generously has Miss Starr paid an artist's tribute to an artist's memory by devoting her own manuscript, and several manuscripts in Mr. Story's handwriting, to the purposes of the present volume, which also includes incidents and anecdotes furnished by other friends, as well as notices and descriptions from the public press. Besides, frequent reference has been made to the works of the poet-artist himself, whose genius now belongs to the world by right of inheritance.

William Wetmore Story and His Friends (Abridged, Annotated) by Henry James Pdf

Henry James' masterful biography of the life of American sculptor, William Story, is a long-forgotten treasure. He includes excerpts of letters from Story's large circle of prominent friends, including Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, James Russell Lowell, Charles Sumner, and others.James, knowing his subject was not a significant figure, chose to make the book more about a reminiscence of Italy (where he had met Story) and the far more prominent people who were friends of Story's. The biography then became by turns a fascinating look at art, Europe, and Americans abroad as only Henry James could have written it.Includes Volume I and Volume II.

African Americans and the Classics by Margaret Malamud Pdf

A new wave of research in black classicism has emerged in the 21st century that explores the role played by the classics in the larger cultural traditions of black America, Africa and the Caribbean. Addressing a gap in this scholarship, Margaret Malamud investigates why and how advocates for abolition and black civil rights (both black and white) deployed their knowledge of classical literature and history in their struggle for black liberty and equality in the United States. African Americans boldly staked their own claims to the classical world: they deployed texts, ideas and images of ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt in order to establish their authority in debates about slavery, race, politics and education. A central argument of this book is that knowledge and deployment of Classics was a powerful weapon and tool for resistance-as improbable as that might seem now-when wielded by black and white activists committed to the abolition of slavery and the end of the social and economic oppression of free blacks. The book significantly expands our understanding of both black history and classical reception in the United States.

Beyond Grief by Cynthia Mills Pdf

Beyond Grief explores high-style funerary sculptures and their functions during the turn of the twentieth century. Many scholars have overlooked these monuments, viewing them as mere oddities, a part of an individual artist's oeuvre, a detail of a patron's biography, or local civic cemetery history. This volume considers them in terms of their wider context and shifting use as objects of consolation, power, and multisensory mystery and wonder. Art historian Cynthia Mills traces the stories of four families who memorialized their losses through sculpture. Henry Brooks Adams commissioned perhaps the most famous American cemetery monument of all, the Adams Memorial in Washington, D.C. The bronze figure was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who became the nation’s foremost sculptor. Another innovative bronze monument featured the Milmore brothers, who had worked together as sculptors in the Boston area. Artist Frank Duveneck composed a recumbent portrait of his wife following her early death in Paris; in Rome, the aging William Wetmore Story made an angel of grief his last work as a symbol of his sheer desolation after his wife’s death. Through these incredible monuments Mills explores questions like: Why did new forms--many of them now produced in bronze rather than stone and placed in architectural settings--arise just at this time, and how did they mesh or clash with the sensibilities of their era? Why was there a gap between the intention of these elite patrons and artists, whose lives were often intertwined in a closed circle, and the way some public audiences received them through the filter of the mass media? Beyond Grief traces the monuments' creation, influence, and reception in the hope that they will help us to understand the larger story: how survivors used cemetery memorials as a vehicle to mourn and remember, and how their meaning changed over time.
