William Merritt Chase's Books

Barbara Dayer Gallati is Curator of American Painting and Sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York.

The first in a beautiful four-volume complete catalogue of all known works by the beloved American artist William Merritt Chase A perennial favorite of museum visitors, the works of William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) embody the quintessential characteristics of American Impressionism: outdoor landscapes, a colorful palette, and an energetic brushstroke. He was also a portrait painter of the first rank, a master of still life, a renowned teacher, and a leader of artists' societies. This gorgeous book, the first of a four-volume definitive catalogue, features Chase's stunning paintings in pastel, which constitute a major and previously understudied body of work by the artist; monotypes; painted tiles and plates; watercolors; and prints. Reconstructing Chase's oeuvre is a daunting task, as the artist left few records of any kind, and no documentation of his individual works exists. Furthermore, Chase's paintings and pastels have been forged in great numbers throughout the years, and many of these works still surface on the art market. Making this long-awaited volume even more valuable is a list of every known exhibition of Chase's work during the artist's lifetime, selected examples of major post-1917 exhibitions, and an essay on Chase's innovative pastel technique.

Presenting, interpreting, and celebrating the world-renowned and the lesser-known California artists who have uniquely defined and redefined the still life, this volume offers an exploration of the sensual pleasures, the aesthetic challenges, and the intellectual and perceptual associations of a century of art through the prism of a single genre."--BOOK JACKET.

Before there was Atlanta's High Museum of Art there was Villa Clare - J. J. Haverty's Mediterranean-style home on Peachtree Street. During the heyday of Villa Clare in the 1920s and 1930s, Haverty regularly opened the doors on Sunday afternoons to the public to enjoy his collection of more than 100 paintings and sculptures by artists including Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, Helen Maria Turner, and Henry Ossawa Tanner. In telling the previously untold story of J. J. Harverty and his collection, Villa Clare provides a unique new perspective on the story of early Atlanta."--BOOK JACKET.

Throughout his life Peters depicted the ordinary places and people of America. From Rochester to Rockport, Peters made an amazingly coherent group of fascinating, masterful American pictures.
