Albert Moore (1841-93) was one of the most important late-Victorian artists. He employed the female figure to embody abstract systems of ideal beauty, and created many defining images of the Aesthetic Movement. This book presents a view of the artist's allegedly reclusive personality, and seeks to establish him as a major figure and a significant precursor of Modernism. Aselson demonstrates the art-for-art's-sake philosophy behind the artist's neoclassical maidens; the elaborately folded antique draperies, patterned decorative fabrics, and limited color schemes of Moore's paintings illustrate his belief in the primacy of beauty and style over subject matter in art. Aselon shows that stylistic influences in Moore's art included poses from Greek vases and sculpture, Liberty fabrics, and Moorish architecture. Also interesting and provocative is her discussion of the friendship between Moore and James McNeill Whistler and the inference that Whistler appropriated Moore's artistic theory as his own. In addition, the author looks at the politics of Victorian art institutions. This is an excellent book filled with gorgeous color reproductions.Product details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Phaidon Press; First Edition (May 12, 2000) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 240 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0714838462 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0714838465 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 4 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 10 x 1.25 x 11.75 inches GORGEOUS OVERSIZED MONOGRAPH BOOK PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER RARE DELUXE AND COLLECTIBLE BOOKS & RECORDS....LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS TO LIST.....WILL I LIVE THAT LONG????
