Robert Gwathmey the Life and Art of a Passionate Observer
by Michael G. Kammen
American artist Robert Gwathmey (1903-1988) was a leading member of the Social Realist movement that flourished from the 1930s through the 1950s. Like his fellow Social Realists, Gwathmey used his art to expose privilege and pretense, demand social justice, and call for major changes in the prevailing socioeconomic system. Gwathmey was an eighth-generation Virginian, and throughout his life his main artistic themes were race relations and his native South. He is perhaps best remembered as the first white American painter to depict African Americans in an unromanticized, respectful manner. Using a unique style that combined a deliberate two-dimensional flatness with deep and vivid colors, Gwathmey illuminated the inherent dignity of the tenant farmers and sharecroppers who were his subjects. As a lifelong activist against injustice, Gwathmey was kept under surveillance by the FBI for nearly thirty years. Using Gwathmey's FBI file, along with numerous interviews and archival records, Michael Kammen crafts a compelling portrait of an engaging American painter in the midst of dramatic social and political change. The publication of this book coincides with the first major retrospective of Gwathmey's work, which will open in September at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. In November, the exhibition will move to the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida, and it will then travel to the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences in Augusta, Georgia, and the Museum of American Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

In the Footsteps of Van Gogh
by Gilles Plazy
People are captivated by Vincent van Gogh and his art--the intense colors and passionate brush strokes that characterize his paintings and the extreme emotions that controlled his life. Combining biography, art, and travel, In the Footsteps of van Gogh focuses on the landscapes and towns that were immortalized in the paintings of this remarkable artist. In addition to Provence, the book takes us to Holland where van Gogh was born and first began his artistic career, and to Paris, where he lived for a short time. This guided tour of the artist's life, travels, and art is wonderfully revealed in the 140 color illustrations that capture the spirit and scenery of these fascinating regions immortalized by van Gogh. Captions throughout include excerpts from the famous letters to Theo, van Gogh's brother. There are also names and addresses of hotels and restaurants in Provence, Holland, and Paris for those who wish to leave their armchairs and seek out the land that inspired this great artist's work. Here is the perfect book for van Gogh enthusiasts, art lovers, and those who love the beauty of Holland and France.
Thomas Moran
by Thurman Wilkins
The American West was the subject of Thomas Moran's greatest artistic triumphs - Yosemite, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Zion Canyon, the Virgin River, Colorado's Mountain of the Holy Cross, and the Grand Tetons - but his travels with Ferdinand V. Hayden's geological surveys of the Upper Yellowstone were matched by trips to his native Britain and to Venice, Florida, the Spanish Southwest, and Old Mexico. These scenes inspired memorable landscapes and seascapes, as did the sojourns of the Moran family in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and East Hampton, Long Island, when they retreated from the demands of the New York art scene. In the 1880s Moran and his artist wife, Mary Nimmo Moran, also threw themselves into the etching craze of the period, creating some of the finest prints produced in the United States.
Utopia Parkway
by Deborah Solomon
No artist ever led a stranger life than Joseph Cornell (1903-72), the self-taught American genius prized for his enchanting and disquieting shadow boxes, an art form all his own. By now, many legends surround Cornell: that of the painfully shy hermit lost in a world of books, silent movies, and long-gone ballerinas; that of the patiently devoted caretaker who would rush home from an afternoon at the Manhattan galleries to minister to his mother and invalid brother; that of the artistic innocent whose creations emerged as happy accidents from his hands. Yet Cornell and his work were cherished by the leading avant-garde figures of his day, and artists who agreed on little else agreed on Cornell's originality. Utopia Parkway - the product of Deborah Solomon's decade of sustained attention to Cornell, and the first serious biography of him - reveals him as a brilliant and relentlessly serious artist whose works are among the monuments of modern art. Admired by successive generations of vanguard artists - the Surrealists of the 1940s, tbe Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s the Pop artists of the 1960s - Cornell cultivated friendships with artists as diverse as Marcel Duchamp, Willem de Kooning, and Andy Warhol. He had romantically charged encounters with women, including Tamara Toumanova, Susan Sontag, and Yoko Ono, and unrequited crushes on anonymous waitresses and shop girls. All this he recorded compulsively in a diary, which stands with the boxes themselves as a strange and affecting record of his extravagant inner life.
