Art and the Excited Spirit: America in the Romantic Period
Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Museum of Art, 1972. Softcover. Wraps. [140] pp. 93 pages of bw plates. VG. Item #2376
Catalogue lists 136 works of art and 19 related items, all of which appear to be illustrated in the 93 pages of plates. 30-page essay by David C. Huntington followed by catalogue listing, followed by the plates. Important exhibition. The exhibition was summarized as "[an attempt to] demonstrate the consistency of style and sensibility which characterize the creations of the self-conscious artist in our romantic era: the painter, the sculptor, the architect, the furniture designer--all worked within the same form system to express a wide range of human emotions." Includes works by Allston (10), Bingham (6), Buttersworth (2), F. Church (7), Cole (15), Cropsey (3), Alexander Jackson Davis (11), Eakins (8), Horatio Greenough (13), William Sidney Mount (9), and a host of others. Quite nice. Published to accompany an exhibition held in 1972.
