An illuminating look at how the Pre-Raphaelite movement was
embraced by a group of vanguard American artists Bringing together
insights from a distinguished group of scholars, this beautiful
book analyzes the history and historiography of the American
Pre-Raphaelites, and how the movement made its way from England to
America. Led by Thomas Charles Farrer-an English expatriate and
acolyte of the hugely influential English critic John Ruskin-the
American Pre-Raphaelite artists followed Ruskin's dictum to depict
nature close up and with great fidelity. Many members of the group
(including Farrer, who served in the Union army during the American
Civil War) were also abolitionists, and several created works with
a rich political subtext. Featuring the work of artists such as
Fidelia Bridges, Henry and Thomas Charles Farrer, Charles Herbert
Moore, Henry Roderick Newman, and William Trost Richards, this
generously illustrated volume is filled with insightful essays that
explore the influence of Ruskin on the American artists, the role
of watercolor and photography in their work, symbolism and veiled
references to the Civil War, and much more.
