Описание: The most successful and resourceful portraitist of America's early national period, Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) possessed enormous natural talent, bringing his
witty and irascible manner to bear on each of his works. This handsome book highlights Stuart's achievements by presenting more than ninety portraits of exceptional quality, ranging
from the early works he produced in Newport, Rhode Island, to those he executed just before his death in Boston. Carrie Rebora Barratt and Ellen G.
Miles show how Stuart
developed and maintained a distinctive portrait style, tailoring his portrayals to fit his subjects. They trace the development of his art from his hometown of Newport, where he proved his
talent, to his years in London and Dublin, where he mastered the techniques of the English late-eighteenth-century Grand Manner, to his return to America (no longer the Colonies but
now the United States), where he dealt with clients in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Boston. The
uthors provide a short essay about Stuart in each of the sites of his production, which introduces the works painted there.
There is also a special section devoted to Stuart's
famous and popular portraits of Washington, the so-called Vaughan, Athenaeum, and Lansdowne portraits. These works are discussed in terms of patronage, technique, chronology,
and interpretation. The most comprehensive book on the artist's work to date, Gilbert Stuart is essential for anyone who admires American art and history.
This book is the
catalogue for an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (October 18, 2004 to February 27, 2005) and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (April 10 to July 31, 2005), the
first major show of Gilbert Stuart portraits since 1967.

Описание:
Some see stained glass as the art of painting in space; to others, it is a way of transforming light into a play of colors and images. Stained glass windows allow the shaping and blending of light within architectural spaces. Color, texture, transparency, design, and composition are all elements that can be varied and explored to create new light effects and bring space to its full potential.
The twentieth century, with its architectural revolution in methods and materials, opened up new possibilities for stained glass. During the last thirty years, a great many projects have been created all over the world, in both new buildings and historical churches and institutions. Studies of this phenomenon have been rare until now, and this book is a pioneer in the survey of this fascinating field.
Xavier Barral i Altet is a lecturer in the history of art and former Director of the National Art Museum of Catalonia.
