Gainsborough's Vision Hardcover - 1999

by Amal Asfour; Paul Williamson


From the publisher

Thomas Gainsborough, one of the most popular British painters, has been celebrated as a landscapist, a portrait painter, and a man of feeling whose impetuous character is revealed in his art, life and letters. This book reveals that the style, themes and ideas of Gainsborough's paintings constitute purposeful expressions of an intellectual and visual culture whose importance in the development of eighteenth-century British art has gone unrecognized. "Amal Asfour and Paul Williamson have set out to make us look more knowledgeably at the paintings of Gainsborough... their treatment is richly informative."--George Steiner, The Observer "Asfour and Williamson display a profound knowledge of 18th-century aesthetics... a highly stimulating book."--The British Art Journal

Description:
-Liverpool University Press, 1999-. First edition. 285x200mm xvi+325 pages with index. 185 illustrations in color and black and white. Cloth. Very good indeed in dustjacket. Thomas Gainsborough has been celebrated as a lanscapist whose pictures evoke his love of the countryside, as a portrait painter of exactness and vivacity, and as a rhythmic and spontaneous draughtsman. Such judgements have persistently created a difficulty for art criticism. Gainsborough's work is not satisfactorily accounted for by the classicizing academic criteria which aspired to be the official art theory of his period. It is not sufficient to label him an anti-intellectual, natural genius. Paying equal attention to portraits, landscapes and fancy pictures, this work aims to demonstrate that Gainsborough's work demands an alternative explanatory framework. Analysis of individual pictures, supp orted by illustrations and citations, suggest a variety of 18th-century contexts for Gainsborough's achievements: the populist and… Read More
