Jochen Wierich's Books

Explores history painting in the United States during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, as exemplified by Emanuel Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851). Includes the work of artists such as Daniel Huntington, Lilly Martin Spencer, and Eastman Johnson"--Provided by publisher.

A collection of essays presenting international perspectives on the narratives and the practices grounding the scholarly study of American Art"--Provided by publisher.

Recent art histories cast Homer (1836-1910) as the quintessential American artist. This catalog, which accompanies a loan exhibition, explores two highly productive points in Homer's career. Homer spent the summers of 1873 and 1880 at this Massachusetts seaside retreat. His subject matter during both visits focused on children at play and work, but his sketches and watercolors were rendered in distinctly different styles. Homer's fascination with childhood has been linked to a nationwide yearning for lost innocence during the post-Civil War period. While the excellent essays are aimed at scholars, the handsome color plates will attract a broader audience.
