A biography of the American painter Ralph W. Curtis (1854-1922), of the Boston family who bought the Palazzo Barbaro on the Grand Canal in Venice in 1885. After graduating at Harvard, Curtis moved to Paris to study art with Carolus Duran, where he met his distant cousin John S. Sargent, with whom he travelled to Holland to see Franz Hals’s paintings. He exhibited at the Paris salons, at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, at the Venice Biennale in the 1880s. At Palazzo Barbaro he met Robert Browning, Henry James, but also Venetian painters such as Ettore Tito and Antonio Mancini. He travelled widely, even to Japan and India. His works are in American Museums and private collections.

In this ambitious and imaginative study, Margaretta M. Lovell analyzes the large body of accomplished, sometimes startling, often brilliant work of American artists drawn to Venice's ragged splendor in the last century. Including major works by such diverse and talented painters as James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, and Maurice Prendergast, these richly varied paintings portray sleepy canals, architectural monuments, and scenes of picturesque everyday life while they also reveal surprising aspects of American culture.

Published to accompany the exhibition ?Philip Guston and The Poets? at Gallerie dell?Accademia (May ? September 2017), this monograph exposes the artist?s oeuvre to critical literary interpretation. The exhibition draws parallels between humanist themes reflected in both Guston?s paintings and drawings as well as in the language and prose discerned in five of the twentieth century?s most prominent literary figures: D. H. Lawrence, W. B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, Eugenio Montale and T. S. Eliot. The enormous influence that Italy itself had upon Guston and his work is also examined.0Spanning a 50-year period, ?Philip Guston and The Poets?, edited by curator Prof. Dr. Kosme de Barañano, features approximately 40 major paintings and 40 prominent drawings dating from 1930 through to 1980, the last of which were created in the final years of Guston?s life. 00Exhibition: Gallerie dell?Accademia, Venice, Italy (10.05.-03.09.2017).

Excerpt from Venetian Painting in America the Fifteenth Century "Now that we are on the subject of Venetian Painting," that would be a more exact title for this book. For, in fact, I have made the stray pictures in our collections the pretext for saying what I wanted to say about their authors in general. In some ways this form suits me as it suited my master, Giovanni Morelli. Like him, I have a distaste for including in my own writing questions that do not vividly interest me at the moment, no matter how important in themselves; and like him, I prefer to avoid such systematic treatment as entails dealing with materials either at second hand, or out of dimmed and attenuated recollection. It goes against the grain to write about anything that does not fascinate and absorb me. For the last few years it has been the painters of Venice, and Giovanni Bellini in particular, that have preoccupied my leisure and occupied my working hours. I thought of making a book about him, and I may still do it. But should I fail to achieve this purpose the student will be able to gather from this book, supplemented by certain essays in my third series of "Study and Criticism of Italian Art," most of what I have to contribute to the subject.

"The city of Venice has always provided an almost irresistible lure for both writers and artists. Henry James loved it, as did Ruskin, Browning, Pound, and Brodsky. For artists, it has been a compulsory magnet since the time of Bellini and Canaletto. By the nineteenth century there was hardly an artist of note -- Whistler and Turner, Sargent and Prendergast, Sickert and Bonington -- who was not seduced by the city's charms, history, and aesthetic heritage. For the depiction of Venice by artists, it's a high bar that s been set, but Adam Van Doren, grandson of the Pulitzer-prize-winning poet Mark Van Doren, convincingly confronts the competition in this charming memoir, a verbal and visual account of his love affair with the city. His story is personal; like all other artists, he sees the city with and through his own eyes, but he is also well-informed historically. He laces his tour with information, opinion, and citation. With Van Doren as guide, the reader's tour of the city is rich and convincing, filled with the presence of illustrious predecessors. With an informed preface by the scholar Theodore Rabb and a charming foreword by Simon Winchester, with 21 full-color drawings by the author/artist, and even six pages of commendably lucid "Notes" on the personalities and structures discussed, this is a book that will proudly take its place alongside the many others that have celebrated this city for centuries."--Publisher description.
