Biddle, Flora Miller The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made: A Family Memoir
New York, New York, U.S.A. Arcade Publishing 1999 1559705094 / 9781559705097 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Like-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 420 pages. Illustrated with photos. - From the Publisher At a time when American millionaires and institutions invested only in European art, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney took the risk of collecting and showing the paintings of American contemporary artists. In 1931, the institution called The Whitney Museum of American Art was officially born. After Gertrude's death in 1943, her daughter Flora took the helm, which she in turn passed on to her daughter, FloraBiddle, who here chronicles the life and times of three generations of Whitney women. Today, the museum is thriving as one of the most prestigious homes for American art. Author Biography: Flora Miller Biddle currently lives in New York City with her husband, Sidney. Her daughter, Fiona, is the fourth generation of Whitneys to be intimately involved in the museum. From The Critics Library Journal This intimate work offers insight into the legacy of the Whitney women and their love affair with American art. The book follows the lives of three generations of determined women, from Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney to her granddaughter, Flora Miller Biddle. Through their guidance and support, the Whitney Studio, established in Greenwich Village in 1914, evolved into a major cultural institution. Each chapter tells of the struggles, intrigue, and successes that helped a family-owned studio become a private museum. The book lacks a useful guide to the many references to notable personages sprinkled throughout the text, and a chronological listing of events and Whitney Museum leadership would have made another welcome addition. Despite these imperfections, this book is crucial in understanding the evolution of the American art scene. Recommended for public and academic libraries collecting 20th-century art and criticism.--Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ. Lib., Johnson City Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

Bindman, David (Editor) Hogarth
United Kingdom Thames & Hudson 1985 050020182X / 9780500201824 Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Very-nicely illustrated throughout (106 illustrations, 17 in color). Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: Hogarth was one of the great eighteenth-century painters, a marvelous colourist and innovator at all levels of artistic expression. As a man he was rooted in his own time and his own society. We 'read' his satirical works - The Rake's Progress, Marriage-A-La-Mode - as we read a novel, and our pleasure increases with the number of details we notice and hidden jokes we understand. David Bindman provides an illuminating guide to the satires and a vivid and incisive study of the man and his art.

Bindman, David (Editor) The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of British Art
United Kingdom Thames & Hudson 1998 050020229X / 9780500202296 Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 316 illustrations. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine - Bright pages. 320 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - Here, in a single, concise volume, is all that every art lover and student will ever want to know about the most popular and significant event in the history of painting. Some 300 entries cover not only the lives and careers of the main participants (painters, critics, patrons, dealers and collectors, as well as writers and musicians) but also techniques, prices and localities, and a wealth of information on the cultural, social and political background that helps to set Impressionism in context. Bernard Denvir's immensely useful book incorporates this new thinking and brings the story of Impressionism up to date. It also includes a chronology of events, a gazetteer of the major collections and a wealth of documentary illustrations and maps. 265 illus., 15 in color. "A goldmine of information about anything and everything related to that period and type of art...The social, political, and cultural background sets everything into context." --American Libraries
