John Henry Twachtman (1853-1902) reached artistic maturity while living in Greenwich, Connecticut. There he created the paintings of his home and property that would earn him the reputation as the most original of the leading American Impressionists. This volume, accompanying an exhibition held at the Greenwich Historical Society, presents a new approach to Twachtman's Greenwich oeuvre, treating it as a unified project encompassing both the modifications the artist made to his home and the land surrounding it, and the images he derived from this subject matter.Incorporating insights gleaned from architectural study of Twachtman's house -- still extant -- Life and Art establishes a new detailed chronology of Twachtman's Greenwich paintings, revealing a progression in the artist's relationship to his subject. Following early attempts to harmonize his home with the surrounding landscape through painting, gradually Twachtman wielded control over the land and architecture itself. In this self-created world, the artist blended his painting life and home life into a beautiful whole. Illustrated with artworks from the exhibition and other examples from Twachtman's Greenwich years, Life and Art sets forth a new paradigm for considering the artist's relationship to home and work.

A History of American Tonalism: 1880-1920 will change standard theory on American art history with a new paradigm that places the origins of American modernism in the late 1870s. Crucially, it also demonstrates how the Tonalist movement became the driving force in the development of a distinctly American art form: mystic, visionary, and nostalgic, yet essentially modern in its progressive dynamic of non-narrative abstraction--a fundamentally expressive and symbolic art that set its seal on American art then and now. --Book Jacket.

"This project is the first comprehensive study of a phenomenon that not only dominated the American arts of the 1870s and 1880s, but also helped set the course of such later developments in the United States as the Arts and Crafts movement, the indigenous interpretation of Art Nouveau, and even the rise of modernism. In fact, the early history of the Metropolitan--its founding, its sponsorship of a school of industrial design, and its display of decorative works--is inextricably tied to the Aesthetic movement and its educational goals. "In Pursuit of Beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement" comprised some 175 objects including furniture, metalwork, stained glass, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, painting, and sculpture. Some of these had rarely been displayed; others, although familiar, were being shown in new and even startling contexts. The exhibition and catalogue are arranged thematically to illustrate both the major styles of a visually rich movement and the ideas that generated its diversity"--From publisher's description.
