Oil Paintings By E. Gibbons: Neo-Classical Paintings For A Contemporary Society

(Economy Printing Quality in black & white ) A look into 100 oil paintings and history of E. Gibbons with a focus on his Box Series. Inspired by a trip to Paris and a love of Neo-Classical painters like Ingres and J.L. David. Gibbons dissects society with his brush, pulling it apart, compartmentalizing and reorganizing to create his own interpretation of the human condition. His studies in Japan guide his esthetic choices and brush handling; every stroke is calligraphic, every element controlled by his innate sense of geometry. We meet a mid-career artist, exhibiting in Paris, Mexico and many galleries in the USA, working through his vision to reinterpret society and its people into a visual language of relationships. Economical Version: Black and white interior, Halftone images. See deluxe version for higher quality images.

Word and Image: French Painting of the Ancien Régime (Cambridge Paperback Library)

This book, now recognised as a classic, has done perhaps more than any other single work to change the face of art criticism in the twentieth century. Whereas previous books on French painting looked only at the history of painting as an evolution of artistic styles (baroque, rococo, neo-classical, and so on), Norman Bryson examines the evolution of narrative styles: the kinds of stories paintings tell, the ways they communicate their information, the different techniques of presenting the body as an instrument for incorporating textual messages. The procedure is applied to a number of painters: LeBrun, Watteau, Greuze, David and others, and the author demonstrates that the relation of formal and ‘literary’ elements was regarded by painters and critics in the eighteenth century as the primary issue to be confronted in the production of a painting.

Excerpt: Herbert William Weeks (fl. 1864 1904) was a well-known British genre and animal painter of the Victorian Neoclassical period who specialized in portraying animals in humorous, human-like situations. Weekes was born ca. 1842 in Pimlico, London, England to a prominent artistic family: the youngest of five children, his father, Henry Weekes, Sr. (1807 1877), was a sculptor and Royal Academician; his brother, Henry, Jr. (fl. 1850 1884), was also a genre painter known for his animal studies; and his brother, Frederick (1833 1920), was an artist and expert on medieval costume and design. Weekes appears to have used his middle name, William, for all but formal purposes. He lived and worked for most of his life in London, at 21 Oppingdon Road, Primrose Hill. In 1865, he married Caroline Anne Henshaw (born ca. 1844), of Hammersmith. “Suspicion (ca. 1900)”, oil-on-canvas “Fowl Talk”, oil-on-canvas Weekes’ signatureKnown as an animal and genre painter of the Victorian Neoclassical style, Weekes’ work was popular, and helped expand 19th century animal painting from its traditional role of simply recording beasts into a way of reflecting human life.
