Beschreibung

James Huneker's 'Promenades of an Impressionist' eloquently surveys the creative vistas and nuanced brushstrokes defining the pivotal movement of Impressionism. Huneker adopts a discerningly descriptive and evocative prose style to narrate the influence of luminaries such as Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, and Auguste Rodin, placing these artists' revolutionary contributions in the broader tapestry of art history. The text captures the ethos of an era that redefined aesthetic perception, blending insightful critiques with vibrant accounts of the artists' most esteemed works. This analysis is set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th-century modernization, providing a contextual richness to the birth of Impressionist art and its dialogue with societal transformation.

A connoisseur of art and culture, James Huneker's intimate familiarity with the Impressionist milieu makes him a deft chronicler of its participants and their innovative artistry. His personal affinity for the vivacity and emotive power of Impressionism infuses the manuscript with authenticity and a palpable enthusiasm for the artistic revolution of his time. Huneker's own experiences as a critic, essayist, and an advocate for the avant-garde inform his incisive commentary, offering readers a unique window into the minds and studios of the artists profiled.

'Recommending 'Promenades of an Impressionist' provides an opportunity to walk alongside Huneker in an explorative journey through the enigmatic and picturesque realm of Impressionism. This work is an invaluable resource for aficionados of art history and those seeking to understand the impetus behind one of the most transformative periods in artistic expression. Huneker's narrative canvas, rich with philosophical musings and artistic insights, beckons the discerning reader to perceive the world through the spectrum of color and light as captured by the original Impressionists themselves.

Incorporating vivid hues, a palette of intriguing textures, and a scholarly understanding of exquisite objects, art, and furnishings, his work transcends period and milieu. His aesthetic spans the globe and the decades, from 18th-century English and European antiques to vintage French Modernism and the work of the finest international contemporary artisans. His projects, tailored and layered, are reminiscent of the stylish past, but always utterly up to date. With unfailing attention to scale, he is unafraid to wield a jolt of glamour or inject the unexpected, but never forgets that a room must ultimately reflect the genuine inner life of those who inhabit it.

Histories of American rock music and the 1960s counterculture typically focus on the same few places: Woodstock, Monterey, Altamont. Yet there was also a very active college circuit that brought edgy acts like the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground to different metropolitan regions and smaller towns all over the country. These campus concerts were often programmed, promoted, and reviewed by students themselves, and their diverse tastes challenged narrow definitions of rock music. Rockin' in the Ivory Tower takes a close look at two smaller universities, Drew in New Jersey and Stony Brook on Long Island, to see how the culture of rock music played an integral role in student life in the late 1960s. Analyzing campus archives and college newspapers, historian James Carter traces connections between rock fandom and the civil rights protests, free speech activism, radical ideas, lifestyle transformations, and anti-war movements that revolutionized universities in the 1960s. Furthermore, he finds that these progressive students refused to segregate genres like folk, R&B, hard rock, and pop. Rockin' in the Ivory Tower gives listeners a front-row seat to a dynamic time for the music industry, countercultural politics, and youth culture.
