The Clark Brothers Collect : Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings from the Collections of Sterling and Stephen Clark (Clark Art Institute S.)

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full

(Hardcover)-Brothers Sterling and Stephen Clark heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune were among the twentieth century s most influential art collectors. This volume examines their magnificent collections, their personal lives and public profiles, and their significant roles in the history of American museums. While the brothers shared a love for great art, they collected in different ways. Sterling was a private collector; his French Impressionist masterpieces, including thirty-eight Renoirs, and works by such American artists as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Frederic Remington, and Mary Cassatt now form the distinguished collection of the Clark. Stephen, a businessman and museum trustee, acquired modern works by such masters as Georges Seurat, Paul C zanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh, often with specific museum collections in mind including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Yale University Art Gallery. Handsomely produced, this book features over two hundred illustrations of the works from Sterling s and Stephen s collections. It also includes essays by distinguished scholars, an illustrated chronology, and a previously unpublished checklist of works purchased by Stephen Clark.

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full ( 1 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Jul 15 2008

    This is a truly magnificent art book, large, heavy, complete. The paper on which the book is printed and on which the paintings are reproduced is very thick and fine. The most famous masterpieces collected by Sterling and Stephen Clark are reproduced here -- in bright, vivid color -- are a delight and are awe-inspiring. The brothers were truly great collectors and their circumspect life proves to be almost as interesting as the paintings themselves. The texts are scholarly and straight forward. While the events of the Clark brothers lifes are vividly told, the text also explains and illuminates each painting through interesting analyses. This is no ordinary art book. Simply Gorgeous!
