Peter Henry Emerson and American Naturalistic Photography

Peter Henry Emerson and American Naturalistic Photography

Christian A. Peterson

Minneapolis Institute of Art
2008
sidottu
Peter Henry Emerson (1856-1936) was a leading English photographer who spearheaded a style he termed "naturalistic photography." He argued for photography as a fine art, encouraged his colleagues to use nature as their standard, and introduced the theory of "differential focusing," whereby the main subject was in focus and everything else fell into moderate softness.Many young Americans admired Emerson's work, forming a movement of naturalistic photography in this country that lasted from the 1890s to about 1930. Like Emerson, they emphasized the beauty of Mother Nature and humankind's harmony with her, photographing the land in all its seasons. Among the photographers whose work is included are Edward Curtis, Rudolf Eickemeyer, Alfred Stieglitz, and Doris Ulman.

Peter Kropotkin – From Prince to Rebel

Peter Kropotkin – From Prince to Rebel

George Woodcock

Black Rose Books
1990
nidottu
Anarchism - the concept of a society without authority, of a civil order without any form of constitution or government - has fascinated people almost as long as we have possessed the power of speculative thought. In the general history of anarchism, the name of Peter Kropotkin dominates.Born in 1842 into an ancient military family of Russian princes, Kropotkin was selected as a child for the elite Corps of Pages by Tsar Nicholas I himself. Shortly before his death in 1921, he had moved so far from his aristocratic beginnings and attained such stature as a libertarian leader that he could write with impunity to Lenin, "Vladimir Ilyich, your concrete actions are completely unworthy of the ideas you pretend to hold."Woodcock and Avakumovic's biography, From Prince to Rebel, details the life that flowed between these two points in time. It surveys and analyses the most significant aspects of Kropotkin's life and thought: his formative years in Russia, 1842-1876, and the origins of his anarchist thinking (military service in eastern Siberia, the influence of the works of Proudhon and Bakunin, his role in the Chaikovsky Circle); his years as an migr in western Europe, 1876-1917, and the ripening of his political though (editor ofLe Revolte, his views on Marxist socialism); and his last years in the Soviet Union, 1917-1921, the revolution and civil war, and his meeting and correspondence with Lenin.For more details, visit: http: //blackrosebooks.net/products/view/Peter+Kropotkin%3A+From+Prince+to+Rebel/28352

Peter Gourfain

Peter Gourfain

Chazen Museum of Art

University of Wisconsin Press
2002
nidottu
Peter Gourfain emerged on the New York art scene in the 1960s showing minimalist sculpture. Since the 1980s his work has become figurative, expressionist, personal, and socially engaged. Many of Gourfain’s terracotta reliefs, large-scale urns, cast bronzes, woodcarvings, prints, and paintings deliver specific messages about political and social issues, often of universal importance. Gourfain’s carved homage to Michael Stewart, an African American art student from Brooklyn who died from a beating, allegedly by eleven NYPD officers, presents a tragic story with an important message. A chronicler of our times, Gourfain portrays the human struggle and makes vivid comment on social injustice in America. His 1994 large-scale bronze sculpture ""Powerful Days"" features images from milestones in African American history. His dramatic narratives also often weave in themes and songs from the work of James Joyce, exemplified by the 1990 woodblock print ""Finnegan’s Wake."" Trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Gourfain has exhibited his work at the Brooklyn Museum, Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Jewish Museum in New York, among others. The Elvehjem (now Chazen) Museum’s exhibition is the first major showing of Gourfain’s work since a presentation at the Brooklyn Museum in 1987. Distributed for the Chazen Museum of Art, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Peter Krasnow: Maverick Modernist

Peter Krasnow: Maverick Modernist

Michael Duncan; Susan Ehrlich

Grand Central Press
2016
sidottu
Peter Krasnow (1886-1979) is the great California modernist you don't know. Although revered during his lifetime by a coterie that included Edward Weston, Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Galka Scheyer, Frederick Sommer, Grace Clements, Lorser Feitelson, Helen Lundeberg, June Wayne, and Jules Langsner, Krasnow remained largely out of the public eye, cantankerously resisting publicity or self-promotion while dedicating himself to an artistic ideal. He demonstrated extraordinary skills in each of his three major phases: the early representational paintings and wood carvings (1910-1930), the abstract wood sculptures (1936-1943), and the hard-edged geometric and patterned paintings (1940-1979). Although his mature work in some ways presages abstract art by modern artists such as John McLaughlin, Karl Benjamin, Inez Johnston, Isamu Noguchi, and Raoul Hague as well as contemporary art by Steve Roden, Alma Allen, Zach Harris, and James Siena, it remains unique. In 1977 Lorser Feitelson said of Krasnow, "I call him both the youngest old artist in Los Angeles and the oldest young artist. Because his art doesn't date. It's ever present." - Michael Duncan, guest curator

Peter`s ABC Book – Peter Learns About Animals, Birds, Fishes, and Insects

Peter`s ABC Book – Peter Learns About Animals, Birds, Fishes, and Insects

Robert Amft

WhiteWalls, Inc
2006
nidottu
The natural world is a magical maze in the eyes of a child—everything appears bigger and more colorful, and nothing is ordinary. With this in mind, Chicago artist and photographer Robert Amft designed an alphabet book for his son Peter. The result, beautifully published here, is a wholly unique children’s book chronicling Peter’s encounters with the everyday environment. Originally conceived in the 1940s as a piece of art that could be published and sold by Amft’s wife if he was killed fighting in World War II, Amft invested the book as much with artistic skill and imagination as with love for his son. Amft’s arresting collages uniquely convey the complex and unpredictable ways that Peter, like so many young children, interacts with his surroundings. Alternately charming, unexpected, and mysterious, the images juxtapose and meld the natural and unnatural. A richly illustrated book holding as many treasures for the attentive adult as for the inquisitive child, Peter’s ABC Book is a rare gift from a pivotal figure in American art.

Peter Norbeck

Peter Norbeck

Gilbert Courtland Fite; R. Alton Lee

South Dakota State Historical Society
2005
nidottu
From successful well-driller to governor and United States senator, Peter Norbeck (1870–1936) worked tirelessly for South Dakota. A progressive Republican, strong supporter of the policies of Theodore Roosevelt, and early conservationist, he was a towering figure in state politics. In Peter Norbeck: Prairie Statesman, Gilbert Fite has written his definitive biography, and through the generous support of the Meierhenry family, it is again available, with a new introduction, afterword, and photographs. Norbeck was a man of many interests, but his first concern was the farmer. As a supporter of state-owned industries and a leader in national agricultural legislation, he worked diligently for the benefit of rural residents. He also helped obtain funding for the carving of Mount Rushmore and directed construction of the scenic Iron Mountain Road leading to the monument. Through his efforts, legislation establishing Grand Teton National Park and extending the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park, as well as the Migratory Bird Conservation Act of 1929, became law.
