American Art at DartmouthHighlights from the Hood Museum of Art

Barbara J. MacAdamThe collections at Dartmouth College, begun in 1773, have grown dramatically over the years, particularly since the opening of the Hood Museum of Art in 1985. The first in a series of publications from the Hood to focus on the various collections, American Art high-lights the breadth and depth of the American holdings—about 8,000 pieces dating before 1950, only a fraction of which are displayed at any one time. The introductory essay surveys the formation of the collection and its changing focus over the college’s history.

Though the college initially collected primarily American works, the collections broadened as the College’s art department developed in the early 20th century. The American holdings of the Hood Museum, now far more varied, serve diverse audiences within and beyond the College community.

This beautifully produced catalogue, with individual entries and color illustrations, includes works by Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe,

Augustus Saint-Gaudens, James McNeill Whistler, Thomas Sully, Augusta Savage, and Jackson Pollock.

Cassatt from the Collection of VollardPrints and Drawings

Essays by Nancy Mowll Mathews and Sarah BertalanIntroduction by Marc Rosen

Mary Cassatt was captivated by the artistic possibilities of print-making. A central part of her discipline as a draughtsman, this allowed her to focus on the essentials of form, gesture, and expression. Ambroise Vollard, a dealer in Paris, acquired her entire collection of prints and

drawings. Part of the collection was exhibited in 2000 in “Mary Cassatt: Prints and Draw-ings from the Artist’s Studio.” The 2004 exhibition, “Art in the Mirror: The Counterproofs of Mary Cassatt,” presented previously unknown pastel transfers. This catalogue of the final exhibition reveals the full depth of Cassatt’s graphic works, and shows the range of her creative process, adding to our understanding of her innovative approach to art.

At Home and AbroadThe Transcendental Landscapes of Christopher Pearce Cranch (1813–1892)

Essays by Nancy Stula and David M. RobinsonForeword by Barbara NovakDespite a 50-year career, Christopher Cranch’s landscape paintings are little known. Best remembered for his poetry, his ties to the Transcendentalists, and his playful caricature Emerson as a “transparent” eyeball, Cranch explored Transcendental concepts through visual means and attempted to express the correspondence between nature and spiritual

concepts in his landscapes. His Transcendentalism celebrates a nature filled with the flux and continual shifting that Emerson and Thoreau celebrated in their writings. This study considers Cranch not only as a Hudson River School artist, but as a participant in the history of ideas, a multifaceted individual who merged intellectual and artistic life.

Charles Ethan PorterAfrican-American Master of Still Life

Hildegard Cummings

This full color catalogue of 52 paint-ings by African-American artist Charles Ethan Porter celebrates the first major display of Porter’s works. Born in the late 1840s in Rockville, CT, Porter painted mainly portraits, flowers, insects, fruit, and landscapes—subjects that became his signature style. He was well-regarded among critics and the public, and his work caught the eye of Samuel Clemens who introduced Porter and his work to influential circles both in the U.S. and abroad.

The New AuthenticsArtists of the Post-Jewish Generation

Staci BorisThis exhibit and accompanying catalogue explore contemporary notions of Jewish identity through the work of sixteen U.S. artists. Engaged in the global art community, they address their experiences as Jews, and are brought together here for the first time in a Jewish context. Drawing on sociological theories concerning postethnicity, the collection emphasizes hybridity, challenging assumed cultural categories, and fixed definitions. No longer identifying as victims or “others,” this generation focuses on

balancing experience with heritage. Their work shows their questioning of what it means to be Jewish today.Spertus Museum

MuraqqaImperial Mughal Albums from the Chester Beatty Library

Elaine Wright

People have often assembled albums to record their lives and the world around them. Among the most remarkable are those created from 1600–1657 for the emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan. The Mughal dynasty ruled India for 300 years, but theirs was the period of greatest artistic production, and the al-bums of paintings and calligraphy (“muraqqa’”) they assembled serve as a window to understanding this period. The paintings include formal (often symbolic) portraits of the emperors themselves, depictions of members of the royal family in private settings, portraits of courtiers, Sufi saints, and mystics, genre scenes, and natural history.

Wenda Gu at DartmouthThe Art of Installation

Edited by Juliette Bianco; Contributors include David Cateforis, Eleanor Heartney, Allen Hockley, and Brian Kennedy

This catalogue chronicles Wenda Gu’s creation of two installations commissioned by the Hood Museum of Art and the Dartmouth College Library. Part of the artist’s 14-year global conceptual human hair sculpture series, they were made with hair collected from the Dartmouth community, combined with colored hair from other parts of the world.

The essays and photographs celebrate the profound scope of Wenda Gu’s ongoing series and the creation and production of these works. Along with Dart-mouth’s projects, the Hood premiered Wenda Gu’s forest of stone steles: retranslation and rewriting tang dynasty poetry, books of rubbings from the artist’s massive stone steles.

So Much Trouble in the WorldBelieve It or Not!

Contributors include Fred Wilson, Barbara Thompson, Mary Coffey, and Jessica Hagedorn

Wilson examines unexpected relationships among objects, people, and places by rearranging museum collections into unusual displays of seemingly disparate objects. So Much Trouble in the World uses the permanent collection at Dartmouth’s Hood Museum to raise questions about our past and its relationship to the present. Wilson encourages viewers to scrutinize their own expectations

of museums, art, and society in light of the economic and ideological mechanisms and relationships that shape them.

The Brillo Box ArchiveAesthetics, Design, and Art

Michael J. Golec

Golec tracks the familiar image of Brillo® as a record of mid-20th-century visual and industrial culture. A fix-ture in American homes since the early 1900s, a 1961 redesign by James Harvey imbued the red and blue box with a wave of patriotic values and the promise of domestic efficiency. Andy Warhol’s appropriation of Harvey’s design, reanimating the cardboard containers

as pop art, opened the door for Arthur Danto’s assertions about the relationship between artwork and referent, inspiration and appropriation. This unique and interdisciplinary work will appeal to scholars of art history, design history, visual culture, and aesthetics.

Joyce Stoner

“The unusual interrelationships among Warhol, Wyeth and Basquiat constitute a unique chapter in America’s art history . . . interesting and thought-provoking.”

—Antiques and the Arts Weekly

Andy Warhol’s collaborations with Jamie Wyeth and Jean-Michel Basquiat enabled him to stay connected to audiences in an evolving art world while influenc-ing each of the artists. The works included provide clues toward further investigation of these unique partnerships. The text and illustrations also offer insights into the celebrity-obsessed culture of the ’70s and the drug- and money-mad art market of the ’80s.

The Olmsted National Historic Site and the Growth of Historic Landscape PreservationDavid Grayson Allen

“Whether it’s the Emerald Necklace in Boston, Central Park in New York City, the Capitol Grounds in Washington, D.C., or countless other beautiful urban parks in cities across America, we have Frederick Law Olmsted to thank for his magnificent creative vision and achievements. He understood the link be-tween cultivating nature and civilizing humanity. He invented the art of landscaping and was responsible for bringing public green space into our urban centers. In this important book, David Grayson Allen expertly analyzes the intensive modern effort championed by the Olmsted National Historical Site to encourage landscape preservation nationwide and breathe new life into Olmsted’s brilliant legacy for future generations.” —Edward M. Kennedy, United States Senator

“Celebrates an important part of Massachusetts’ history and the remarkable man behind it.”

Samuel McIntireCarving an American Style

Dean T. LahikainenTrained as a carpenter by his father, Samuel McIntire taught himself the art of architectural drawing and designed scores of elegant and beauti-ful buildings in Salem, MA. Primarily self-educat-ed, after 1790 he made his living as a wood carver, providing ornamental decoration for buildings, portrait busts, furniture, and over two dozen sail-ing vessels. An in-depth examination of the works by a master carver, this book examines the full

range of McIntire’s career and puts it into a broader perspective. Lahikainen presents a critical analysis and questions some long-held attributions that shed new light on McIntire’s work.

Scottish Cabinetmakers in Federal New YorkMary Ann Hollihan ApicellaThe influence of Scottish cabinet-makers on furniture made in Federal America is brought to light as Apicella examines the commu-nity of craftsmen along the Atlantic coast during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. By separating English antecedents and American design trends from those identified as uniquely Scottish in form, ornament, and construc-tion, the hallmarks of Scottish aesthetics become

visible. Discussion of Scottish migration patterns, artistic and social influences, and the cultural epicenter of New York City helps contextualize these pieces.

—Antique & Collectible News Service

Greek-inspired architecture gained popularity in early 19th-century Philadelphia. Newly designed structures

were decorated with classical furniture that then became the prevailing style in homes. The arrival of European crafts-men and their collaboration with American furniture makers produced designs that became known as American Empire. The authors explore Neo-Classicism, the contemporary his-tory of Philadelphia, the emergence of Greek-Revival archi-tecture, and the makers of Philadelphia Empire furniture.
