New York: Davis & Long Company. Very Good. 1979. Soft Cover. 148 pages, well illustrated (some in color), wrappers, very good. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: "Maurice Brazil Prendergast, 1859-1924, American painter, b. St. John's, N.F., Canada, educated in Boston. In 1886 he worked his way to Europe on a cattle boat and studied in Paris at Julian's and at the Colarossi Academy. His brother, Charles Prendergast (1869-1948), an artist and frame maker, often assisted him financially. He again went abroad in the early 1890s, and during the rest of his life he gravitated between New York City and Europe, visiting various countries. In New York he joined the independent group of artists called the Eight. Prendergast evolved a style akin to postimpressionism. Much freer in his brushstroke, his landscapes and figure compositions evoked the quality of a gay tapestry. His Promenade, Gloucester (Whitney Mus., New York City) is characteristic. He is well represented in the Barnes Foundation, Merion, Pa., and in other leading collections throughout the United States." . more information

Situated on Waccamaw Neck in Georgetown County, South Carolina between the Waccamaw River and the Atlantic coast, it is the country's oldest and largest sculpture garden. ~ About 550 works of American figurative sculpture are displayed at the Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculpture Garden. Many of the works are creations of sculptress Anna, but other artists are also featured. Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington first visited the property in 1929. They were captivated by beauty of it, so they purchased nearly 10,000 acres (40 km²) of forest, swamp, ricefields and beachfront. They intended to establish a winter home on the Atlantic, but Anna saw the potential of the property and they quickly began to develop her vision. Archer, stepson of philanthropist Collis Huntington, and Anna have donated property and contributed much to US arts and culture in a number of states. Her sculpture of Joan of Arc is a feature of New York City's Riverside Park." . more information

In the paintings of Dubuffet it is an earth-bound image of man presented with all the ambiguity of his position; in those of Bacon it is man terrifyingly aware of the precariousness of his existence; in the sculpture of Giacometti or Baskin, of his solitude in a dehumanized world. In his introduction and in the individual accounts of the 23 artists included, Mr. Selz relates their art to the art of the past, pointing out their affinity to Goya, Bosch, and other angry exponents of their own ages." . more information
