Color-illustrated dust jacket. 204 pp. Color and BW illustrations. This book hightlights 50 American painting master works to illustrate the conditions of the 1930s. Through 50 masterpieces of American painting this catalogue chronicles the turbulent economic political and aesthetic climate of the 1930s. This decade was a supremely creative period in the United States as the nation's artists novelists and critics struggled through the Great Depression in search of "Americanness." Seeking to define modern American art many painters challenged and reworked the meanings and forms of modernism reaching no simple consensus. This period was also marked by an astounding diversity of work as artists sought styles--ranging from abstraction to Regionalism to Surrealism--that allowed them to engage with issues such as populism labor social protest and urban and rural iconography including machines factories and farms. Seminal works by Edward Hopper Grant Wood Thomas Hart Benton Georgia O'Keeffe Aaron Douglas Charles Sheeler Stuart Davis and others show such attempts to capture the American character. These groundbreaking paintings highlighting the relationship between art and national experience demonstrate how creativity experimentation and revolutionary vision flourished during a time of great uncertainty.

"Strawberry Hill began as Walpole's 'Little play-thing house' and became one of the wonders of the eighteenth-century architectural world. Woefully neglected for years it is now undergoing major restoration and will emerge in triumph as the seminal house of the gothic revival in England." "Walpole and his 'Committee of Taste' devoted themselves to their gothic creation. It became a visitor attraction with Walpole's own guidebook and housekeeper to show ticketed visitors round. The authors take us on that same route and room by room with Walpole at our elbow reveal the theatrical planning the deliberate contrasts of light and colour and the love of drama invested in every detail of the building its decoration and its furniture." "At first Walpole sought the 'gloomth' of medieval buildings and details from tombs heraldic devices and stained glass were used to promote the effect that would inspire his own gothic tale The Castle of Otranto. Later with the building of the magnificent Long Gallery and its incredible papier mache ceiling Walpole revelled in 'gothicism and gold'." "The book is illustrated with many of the engravings that Walpole himself commissioned of his house and its interior decoration. There are modern photographs too."--BOOK JACKET.
