Artists of all ages, styles, and backgrounds took up watercolor in the 1870s, inspiring younger generations of impressionists and modernists. By the 1920s many would claim it as "the American medium." This engaging and comprehensive book tells the definitive story of the metamorphosis of American watercolor practice between 1866 and 1925, identifying the artist constituencies and social forces that drove the new popularity of the medium. The major artists of the movement - Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, William Trost Richards, Thomas Moran, Thomas Eakins, Charles Prendergast, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Charles Demuth, and many others - are represented with lavish color illustrations. The result is a fresh and beautiful look at watercolor's central place in American art and culture. 505 0 $a The American watercolor movement -- American watercolor before 1866: separate worlds -- Ruskin, Turner, and the English tradition, 1855-1865 -- The formation of the American watercolor society -- "Strenuous and persistent efforts": the watercolor movement, 1873-1877 -- Landscape in the 1870s -- The illustrators: from "black and white" to color, 1873-1882 -- Figure painting in the 1870s: Homer and Eakins -- Art for a Decorative Age -- Impressionism from Munich and Rome -- High-water mark: figure painters in the 1880s -- Landscape painting after 1880: tonalism -- Illustration and decoration in the Gilded Age -- Impressionism and post-impressionism: Prendergast, Homer, and Sargent -- The "American medium" and the moderns -- Flash in the pan: a history of manufacturing watercolor paint in America / Rebecca Pollak. 650 0 $a Watercolor painting $z United States $y 19th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Watercolor painting, American $z United States $y 19th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Watercolor painting $z United States $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Watercolor painting, American $z United States $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026098 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026111 710 2 $a Philadelphia Museum of Art, $e issuing body. $e publisher, $e issuing body. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79005616 752 $a United States $b Pennsylvania $d Philadelphia. 752 $a United States $b Connecticut $d New Haven. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191121013702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B07D642E840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
