Romanticism & the school of nature : nineteenth-century drawings and paintings from the Karen B. Cohen collection / Colta Ives with Elizabeth E. Barker

Title	Romanticism & the school of nature : nineteenth-century drawings and paintings from the Karen B. Cohen collection / Colta Ives with Elizabeth E. Barker
Alternative Title	Romanticism and the school of nature
Creator	Ives, Colta Feller
Description	"By Colta Ives with Elizabeth E. Barker, 2000. Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Romanticism and the School of Nature: Nineteenth-Century Drawings and Paintings from the Karen B. Cohen Collection" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, October 17, 2000–January 21, 2001. This publication presents one hundred and fifteen drawings and paintings from the holdings of Karen B. Cohen, a noted New York collector. These French and English ninteenth-century works include landscapes, portraits, figure compositions, and still lifes by great artists of the Romantic period, the Barbizon School, and the Realist School, beginning with Prud'hon and ending with Seurat. A varied range of compositions by such masters as Gericault, Corot, Rousseau, Couture, Daubigny, and especially Delacroix is included. Among the highlights is a group of oil paintings by Courbet—both landscapes and portraits—and a series of cloud studies by Constable. Because these pictures have been held for so long in private hands, most are little known today, despite the fact that they were made by noted masters. Many are published here for the first time, often with comparative illustrations. The character of the images assembled is remarkable, reflecting the collector's personal response to the turbulent dramas of the Romantics, the fresh discovery of landscape by French and English painters of the School of Nature, and the somber realism of Courbet and his followers. Nearly all the artists represented were alternately damned and praised for their modernity, for they were eager to present the natural world in as vivid a way as possible. Their sensitive treatment of nature and of human life, frequently in a fluid, cursory style, was intended to elicit a heightened response from the viewer."-- Metropolitan Museum of Art website ; Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Oct. 17, 2000-Jan. 31, 2001 ; Includes bibliographical references (p. 238-247) and index ; Exhibition title: Romanticism and the school of nature : nineteenth-century drawings and paintings from the Karen B.
