Ludington, Townsend (Edited by)
A Modern Mosaic: Art and Modernism in the United States
Chapel Hill, NC University of North Carolina Press 2000 0807825786 / 9780807825785 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Cloth, gilt, 439 pp., illus. (some col.), bib. notes, index; 27 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "The modernist movement has shaped our era as has no other. This insightful collection of original essays explores the impact of modernism on American culture and the ways in which modernism remains a key to understanding American art and society. An impressive cast of scholars examines works and their creators across the whole spectrum of artistic expression--fiction and poetry, painting and sculpture, architecture, dance, photography, and film. In fresh and provocative essays they explore how the ideas of modernism helped shape such artistic expressions as the writings of the Harlem Renaissance, the paintings of Edward Hopper, New Deal public art projects, and George Antheil's Ballet Mécanique. Extensive use of color and black-and-white illustrations results in a book that is as appealing visually as it is stimulating intellectually. The contributors are Casey Nelson Blake, Robert Cantwell, Ray Carney, Thomas Fahy, Lucy Fischer, John F. Kasson, William E. Leuchtenburg, Lucinda H. MacKethan, Randy Martin, Carol J. Oja, Miles Orvell, Joan Shelley Rubin, Jon Michael Spencer, and Maren Stange." - Publisher.

Marsden Hartley: The Biography of an American Artist
Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press 1998 0801485800 / 9780801485800 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Fine
xiii, 325 pp., illus. (some col.), biblio., index; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. "Drawing on Hartley's letters and other writings as well as on the correspondence and reminiscences of the artist's friends, Ludington traces the restless career of the painter....[Hartley] had troubled friendships with some of the most important artists and writers of his day--Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Fairfield Porter, Eugene O’Neill, Georgia O’Keeffe, and others. His relationship with Alfred Stieglitz, who supported him financially and exhibited his work...runs like a leitmotif through the book, and indicates Hartley's character--demanding, touchy, often ungrateful but also compelling....This frank and unsentimental account of a life of contradictions and paradoxes returns one to the artist's paintings with a fresh eye."--Publishers Weekly. / "Townsend Ludington holds the Cary C. Boshamer Distinguished Professorship of English and American Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. His previous books include Seeking the Spiritual: The Paintings of Marsden Hartley, also from Cornell." - Publisher.
