Illustrations of Epic and Voyage by Walter Inglis Anderson Pdf

When renowned Mississippi artist Walter Anderson read Don Quixote or the Iliad, he heightened the intensity of his engagement with each by creating line drawings of the characters on typing paper. Each morning his wife, Agnes Grinstead Anderson, collected the many sheets the painter casually discarded in a night's reading and drawing. Along with thousands of paintings, sculptures, block prints, and writings, Walter Anderson (1903-1965) created over 9,500 pen-and-ink illustrations of scenes from Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Pope's Iliad, and Bulfinch's Legends of Charlemagne. He also drew inspiration from such sources as Paradise Regained, Temora from The Poems of Ossian, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Alice in Wonderland, and Darwin's The Voyage of the Beagle. In Illustrations of Epic and Voyage, Redding S. Sugg, Jr., has brought together 120 of Anderson's pen-and-ink drawings based on the artist's reading of literature. Sugg has divided the illustrations into three categories: "Figures and Attitudes," composed of single figures; "Scenes," featuring interactions among characters; and "Sequences," consisting of series of scenes from books. Illustrations of Epic and Voyage includes a contextual introduction by Sugg, as well as captions describing each illustration. Walter Anderson was an astonishingly prolific artist renowned for his matchless style and fierce independence. Redding S. Sugg, Jr., is the editor of books on Walter Anderson and author of Motherteacher: The Feminization of American Education among others.

Walter Anderson's Illustrations of Epic and Voyage by Redding S. Sugg Pdf

A selection from the 9,500 pen-&-ink illustrations made by Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-65), a Louisiana and Mississippi artist whose block prints, pottery, and watercolors are widely known. These 120 illustrations are inspired by the literature of epic and voyage. For Anderson the act of creation was everything. A recluse who suffered from mental illness, he seldom exhibited his work and took few pains to preserve it. He made them at night, while reading the literature, and each morning his wife collected the drawings. In spite of his solid credentials and the superior quality of his work, Anderson1s art has remained relatively unknown.

Walter Anderson's Illustrations of Epic and Voyage by Walter Inglis Anderson Pdf

A further relevation of the especial talents of the Ocean Springs, Mississippi, artist, Walter Inglis Anderson. The Horn Island Logs of Walter Inglis Anderson (Memphis, 1973), A Painter’s Psalm (Memphis, 1978) and the award-winning film, The Islander (1978) examined Anderson as a poet, writer, potter, naturalist, watercolorist, and muralist. Here Redding Sugg introduces us to Anderson as an illustrator of classic literature. Walter Anderson’s legacy includes at least 9,500 graphic ren­derings of characters and scenes from classic literature. From this prodigious output Sugg has selected 120 pen-and-ink illus­trations for this book. In his Introduction Sugg provides a bio­graphical sketch plus an analytical evaluation of this fascinating artist’s work. The book is divided into three categories: “Figures and Atti­tudes,” composed of single figures such as Polydamas, Priam, Ros-cranna, Orlando, Angelica, and Don Quixote; “Scenes,” featuring interactions between characters; and “Sequences,” consisting of series from Pope’s Iliad, Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, and Bullfinch’s Legends of Charlemagne. Each series creates the illusion of movement, as in an animated cartoon. Other illustrations are from Paradise Regained, Temora from The Poems of Ossian, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Faust, and Darwin’s The Voyage of the Beagle. Anderson drew at night, often working into the morning. Drawings accumulated, littered the table, fell to the floor. There he was content to abandon them, but his wife collected them each morning. Mrs. Anderson describes a typical scene: “Sometimes in the very early morning, when he was just stopping, I would catch him quietly feeding, with a teaspoon, coffee to a couple of very large oaktree cockroaches who seemed to be his pets, and he would laugh, gently but pointedly, when I objected… He said they were his ‘familiars.’ The illustrations seemed, certainly, to take the place of any interest in more usual things such as sex. Often, we would hear him singing Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony or the Emperor Concerto; he often worked to his own or someone else’s music.” Walter Inglis Anderson (1903–1965) studied at Parsons In­stitute, New York; was graduated from the Pennsylvania Acad­emy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia; and studied in France on a Cresson Award. A retrospective traveling exhibition, “The World of Walter Anderson” which included ceramics, drawings, oils, prints, sculpture, and watercolors was mounted in 1967 by Brooks Memorial Art Gallery, Memphis.

A Southern Collection by Anonim Pdf

A Southern Collection presents select masterworks from the permanent collection of the Morris Museum of Art on the occasion of the institution's inaugural exhibition. Drawn from a comprehensive survey collection of painting in the South from the late eighteenth century to the present day, the museum's opening exhibit explores an artistic terrain as rich and diverse as the South itself, arranged in categories that reflect critical chronological developments in the art world. A survey of painting activity in the South begins with the travels of itinerant portrait artists working prior to the Civil War. At the same time, landscape painting encompasses a sensitive response to the swamps, bayous and fertile fields of the South. Late in the nineteenth century strong and vivid genre painting competes with the nostalgic effects realized by Southern impressionists, whose shimmering, liquid images are invested with an elusive spirit of place. In this century, those strains of realism and naturalism that characterize the classic body of Southern writing appear in the representational art of painters who defied the modern abstract dictum. And finally, the exciting, compelling works of a current generation of both self-taught artists and sophisticated contemporary painters complete this fascinating, though sometimes neglected, chapter in American art history.
