These rich genre paintings, alongside three outstanding American examples, enable the exploration of a variety of interrelated themes including the development of character types, confrontations between them, the spaces of their confrontations, the role of the senses as well as music and narrative, and the graphic reproduction and dissemination of genre paintings in the form of prints.Genre Painting and Everyday Life accompanies the first of a series of focused exhibitions collaboratively organized by the Musee du Louvre, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the High Museum of Art, and the Terra Foundation for American Art"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Directors' Foreword -- American Genre Painting: An Art of Encounter / Peter John Brownlee -- Object Texts. 650 0 $a Genre painting, American $y 19th century. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American, in art. 650 7 $a ART / American / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Subjects & Themes / Human Figure. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Brownlee, Peter John. $t American genre painting. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1305/2686474/image/lgcover.4121170.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20130507011929.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B8A1170B6DB11E2AF0A76A3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
