FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 212 pp. ; 169 illus. 77 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Much recent scholarship in American art history and cultural studies examines cross-cultural exchanges in the shaping of American art and culture. This lavishly illustrated volume contributes to this endeavor by exploring through seven scholarly essays and more than 150 color and back-and-white images how the transatlantic encounters of three of America's most notable nineteenth- and early twentieth-century artists helped mold American art. Robert Walter Weir 1803-1889 and his sons John Ferguson Weir 1841-1926 and Julian Alden Weir 1852-1919 saw themselves as heirs to European art traditions and repeatedly crossed the Atlantic to connect with their artistic heritage. Yet they lived painted and taught in New York and New England where they were leaders in American art. Robert taught art at West Point John founded the first academic art program on a U.S. college campus at Yale and Julian was a major American impressionist. Their combined works provide a compendium of the painting genres produced in Europe and America across an entire century. Through letters diaries histories and paintings this book examines the lives of the American men and women of the Weir art dynasty and their explorations of the wider world--from the Hudson River Valley to London Paris and Rome. . 2011. 1611680212 .

Alison Weir born 8 July 1951 is a British writer of history books and latterly historical novels mostly in the form of biographies about British royalty. Her first published work 1989's Britain's Royal Families was a genealogical overview of the British royal family. She subsequently wrote biographies of Eleanor of Aquitaine Isabella of France Katherine Swynford and the Princes in the Tower. Other focuses have included Henry VIII of England and his wives and children Mary Boleyn Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. She has published historical overviews of the Wars of the Roses and royal weddings as well as historical fiction novels on Lady Jane Grey Elizabeth I and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Many of Weir's works deal with the Tudor period which she considers "the most dramatic period in our history with vivid strong personalities. The Tudor period is the first one for which we have a rich visual record with the growth of portraiture and detailed sources on the private lives of kings and queens. This was an age that witnessed a growth in diplomacy and the spread of the printed word." Wikipedia. hardcover
