GESKE, NORMAN A.; HASSRICK, PETER H. (FOREWORD). Beyond Madness: The Art Of Ralph Blakelock, 1847-1919.
Sheldon Museum of Art, Lincoln: 2008. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
This book, featuring the life and works of Ralph Blakelock, situates him in the context of American art. Representing over twenty years of study and the examination of several thousand works attributed to him, Beyond Madness reveals the unusual nature of Blakelock's life story as it offers clear parallels to his painting. Largely self-taught and supported by few patrons, Blakelock regularly struggled with the financial pressures of supporting his nine children and pursuing his art. Called both brilliant and doomed, and institutionalized on and off for the last decade of his life, he nonetheless created some of the most belovedÑand some of the most frequently forgedÑpaintings in the American canon. As in the author's own time, modern assessments of his work are often colored by notions of Blakelock the man, leading to a paradoxical legacy of suffering and hope, obscurity and prominence. Taking Blakelock's art on its merits, Beyond Madness stands as a testament to the indefatigable spirit of art scholarship as well as a tribute to the artist and his enduring passion for the creative process. It finally casts new light on the life and character of Blakelock and on the nature of the incomparable art he contributed to the American tradition. Norman A. Geske was involved in the creation of the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and served as its director until his retirement in 1983. He was instrumental in creating the Museum of Nebraska Art at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and the Interstate 80 Bicentennial Sculpture Project. "A major contribution to the literature on Blakelock, who has been one of the most mysterious and misunderstood artists in America's history. . . . [Geske] helps readers see that Blakelock was a groundbreaking artist in many areas. Geske presents the artist as a forerunner of modernism, and a big influence on 20th-century artists such as Franz Kline. After reading this book, one can no longer think of Blakelock as just an isolated, late-19th-century romantic landscape painter! . . . Highly recommended."ÑCHOICE

CLARK, CAROL; TROCCOLI, JOAN CARPENTER; HOXIE, FREDERICK E; JORDAN, GUY; SHARP, LEWIS I; HASSRICK, PETER H. Charles Deas And 1840s America.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2009. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
Charles Deas (1818-67), an enigmatic figure on the edge of mainstream artistic circles in mid-nineteenth-century New York, went west to explore new opportunities and subjects in 1840. From his adopted hometown of St. Louis, Deas sent his iconic paintings of fur trappers and Indians back east for exhibition and sale, briefly winning the recognition that had earlier eluded him. This handsome volumeÑfeaturing more than 150 illustrations, 70 in colorÑis the first book exclusively devoted to Deas. In two major essays, Carol Clark presents Deas's haunting biography and complex artÑworks that embodied Americans' uncertainty about the future of their rapidly expanding nation, especially in the contested spaces of the West. Ranging from Indian genre scenes to more violent and bizarre themes drawn from literature and his own imagination, Deas's images reverberate with the racial tensions and cut-throat economic competition of the period. Three additional essayists examine the historical, political, and social context of Deas's art and discuss in detail two of his major paintings, Walking the Chalk and Long Jakes, "the Rocky Mountain Man." The volume also includes Clark's catalogue of Deas's paintings, watercolors, and drawingsÑthe most extensive recovery and documentation to date of the work of this important but little-known artist. Charles Deas and 1840s America will constitute the definitive reference on the painter for years to come.

HASSRICK, PETER H. Charles M. Russell.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 1999. s Softcover. Brand new book.
In 1880, Charles M. Russell headed west to Montana, where he worked as a wrangler and chronicled in paint, ink, and watercolor the West and its people. For his splendid depictions of bronco riders, roundups, and everyday ranch life, Russell soon became known as "the Cowboy Artist." Yet this "Cowboy Artist" also spent much time among the Indians and developed a sympathetic understanding of and appreciation for their efforts to preserve their way of life. Russell's memorable paintings and drawings portray a frontier that was vanishing, not only for Indians but also for cowboys. Peter H. Hassrick discusses Russell's work in the context of the artist's experiences in the West and the people who influenced his artistic style. Peter H. Hassrick is Director of the Petrie Instutite of Western American Art, Denver Art Museum, and the author or coauthor of numerous books, including (with Linda Bantel) Forging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney.

BRANDSTATTER, NATASHA K.; EVANS, MEREDITH M.; HASSRICK, PETER H. & PARKS, NICOLE A. Colorado: The Artist's Muse.
Denver Art Museum, Denver: 2009. Western Passages Series. First Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Celebrates the works of artists who expressed special allegiance to Colorado. With its vast prairies and impressive mountains, Colorado has been a mecca for painters since the beginning of the nineteenth century. This latest volume in the Denver Art Museum's Western Passages series celebrates a diverse group of painters who found special allegiance to the Rockies and to the human history of Colorado. Many who ventured into Colorado in the 1800s sought inspiration in the land. The state attracted such masters of landscape painting as Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, and Thomas Worthington Whittredge. So pervasive and popular were images of Colorado's peaks that some art historians have dubbed those who portrayed these sites as the "Rocky Mountain School." During the 1900s, focus shifted to the human story, and artists benefited from the organizational activities of the Denver Artists Club, founded by a group of women artists who were instrumental in the eventual founding of the Denver Art Museum. Natasha Brandstatter has curated shows at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center in Pueblo, Colorado, and served as a Bruce and Dorothy Dines Western American Art Intern at the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the Denver Art Museum. Meredith M. Evans is project manager for the exhibition catalog European Design since 1985: Shaping the New Century. She previously served as curatorial assistant in the Department of Architecture, Design & Graphics at the Denver Art Museum. Peter H. Hassrick is director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art. Nicole A. Parks serves as the curatorial assistant for the Petrie Institute of Western American Art.

HASSRICK, PETER H. & CUNNINGHAM, ELIZABETH J.; BALLINGER, JAMES K.; SHARP, LEWIS I. & WRIGHT, CATHY L. (FOREWORD). In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art Of Ernest L. Blumenschein.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2008. Second Printing. Volume 2 in the Charles M. Russell Center Series on Art and Photography of the American West Series. s Softcover. Brand new book.
The definitive retrospective on this prominent twentieth-century American artist. One of the founders of the Taos Society of Artists, Ernest L. Blumenschein (1874-1960) was perhaps the most complex and accomplished of all the painters associated with that pioneering organization. His critical acclaim transcended regional confines, and his work continues to be greatly admired. This volume is the definitive work on Blumenschein's life and art, reproducing masterworks from a new exhibit along with additional works and historical photographs to form the most comprehensive assemblage of his paintings ever published. In Contemporary Rhythm describes not only his place in the Taos colony and western art but also his far-reaching influence on mainstream American art and national aesthetic developments. The text by Peter H. Hassrick and Elizabeth J. Cunningham draws on Blumenschein's papers as well as other archival sources to explore in depth the dimensions of his multifaceted life and his place in American history and culture. They examine his 64-year artistic career, first as an illustrator and then a painter, revealing how his technique evolved and how his schooling and the artistic movements of his time informed his work. Additional contributions by noted art historians focus on particular paintings and certain aspects of the artist's work, including his promotion of American Indian rights. As the only book of its kind available on this influential artist, In Contemporary Rhythm is a major contribution to American art history. It is also a visual feast. Peter H. Hassrick is Director of the Institute of Western American Art, Denver Art Museum, and the author or coauthor of numerous books, including Drawn to Yellowstone: Artists in America's First National Park. Elizabeth J. Cunningham, an independent art scholar, curator, lecturer, and writer who lives in Joseph, Oregon, is an authority on Blumenschein. James K. Ballinger is Director and Curator of American Art, Phoenix Art Museum. Lewis I. Sharp is Frederick and Jan Mayer Director, Denver Art Museum. Cathy L. Wright is Director, The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History.

PROCTOR, ALEXANDER PHIMISTER; EBNER, KATHARINE C. (EDITOR); HASSRICK, PETER H. (FOREWORD). Sculptor In Buckskin: The Autobiography Of Alexander Phimister Proctor.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2009. Second Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
Two disparate worlds met in the life of Alexander Phimister Proctor: the art world centered in the eastern United States and the world of the western frontier. Proctor was a remarkable amalgam: a big-game hunter and intrepid explorer who felt at home in Paris or New York, and an academically trained artist who painted and sculpted the characters and wild creatures of the West. This new edition of Proctor's autobiography provides a thorough introduction to a distinctively American artist whose monumental sculptures and statues adorn parks, public buildings, and museums, as well as private homes and businesses across the country. The text, begun in the late 1930s, when Proctor was in his seventies, takes the reader on a far-flung journey from his birth in Ontario and childhood in Denver to his travels as a young man throughout the United States and eventually to Paris. A new selection of more than 125 illustrationsÑmany in full colorÑincludes historical photographs and reproductions of Proctor's sketches, paintings, and sculptures, tracing the development of his magnificent artistry. Here are the trembling fawns, slinking mountain lions, stalwart warriors, and rearing mustangs that made him famous. Art historian Katharine C. Ebner has annotated the autobiography and restored previously unpublished portions of the original manuscript. "What is beauty?" Proctor asks at the beginning of his narrative. It was a question that resonated throughout his life. Through the words and the work of this remarkable artist, we come to understand his answer.

TOLLES, THAYER; HASSRICK, PETER H.; WALKER, ANDREW & BOEHME, SARAH. Shaping The West: American Sculptors Of The 19th Century.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2011. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Explores the art and influence of sculptors of the American West. Shaping the West, the sixth edition of Western Passages, focuses on sculptureÑan often overlooked, neglected, and misunderstood form of artistic expression. Sculpture has too often taken a backseat to painting, and this is equally true for western American art. Almost everyone recognizes Frederic Remington's iconic bronze The Broncho Buster, but beyond this and a few other examples the familiarity begins to wane. Yet when one surveys the quality and professionalism of sculptors working in western themes during the late 1800s and early 1900s, the output is astounding. During this period in American art, sculpture could rank as the more popular medium given the significance and frequency of public commissions and the mass appeal of smaller bronzes. So why are these accomplished and celebrated artists and artworks not widely known to us today? This generously illustrated book aims to help rectify and explore that conundrum. Thayer Tolles (Metropolitan Museum of Art) discusses Augustus Saint-Gaudens, his work, and the western legacy left by his disciples Peter H. Hassrick is Director of the Petrie Instutite of Western American Art, Denver Art Museum, and the author or coauthor of numerous books, including (with Linda Bantel) Forging an American Identity: The Art of William Ranney. Andrew Walker (St. Louis Art Museum) illustrates how the 1904 World's Fair included a monumental sculpture initiative. An additional essay by Hassrick focuses on the diverse portrayals of cowboy imagery following the success of Remington's Broncho Buster. Sarah Boehme (Stark Museum) contributes an essay on Charles M. Russell's little-known works in mixed-media and wax and on current efforts to preserve them.
