About the Item
American works on paper, 1880/1930. by Adelson Galleries, Inc. Published by Adelson Galleries, Inc, NY, 2009. 1st Ed hardcover no dust jacket as issued. This was issued for an exhibition and sale of approximately 50 works (watercolors, pastels, silverpoints, drawings and prints) by impressionist, realist, and early modernist artists including: Bellows, Burchfield, Cassatt, Dove, Hassam, Homer, Prendergast, Sargent, Shinn, Whistler, and others. The generation of artists of the last half of the 19th/early 20th c explored the dynamics of the spectrum of media on paper with an energy and imagination that had not before been seen. It was a period in art history when pencil, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, the etching plate, and the lithography stone took on lives of their own among artists of the avant-garde, and the results of these creative efforts became works of art unto themselves. These works were not studies in preparation for a canvas in oil, as had been common for centuries before, but stood on their own as creations of the modern artist. Just as the “new painting,” Impressionism, adjusted the artist’s way of seeing the modern world, painters were excited with the prospect of pushing the boundaries of other media to create fresh and original imagery on paper in a myriad of ways. For these painters of modern life, spontaneity was a priority and artists labored to make their works seem fresh and alive. John Singer Sargent himself admitted that he worked assiduously in watercolor to achieve the effect of spontaneity, and to make what was painstakingly created appear offhand.
