Product Description

From the Publisher

The Tile Club was a group of 31 notable New York painters, sculptors, and architects-including Winslow Homer, William Merritt Chase, John H. Twachtman, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and Stanford White-who met together between 1877 and 1887. Inspired by William Morris and the English Arts and Crafts movement, the club created hand-painted ceramic tiles and promoted the decorative arts. But it also championed American art in general-and did much to popularize plein air painting and the Impressionist style. Published in conjunction with an exhibition opening in the Museums at Stony Brook on Long Island, this beautifully designed book-the first ever on the Tile Club-showcases 70 of the club members' tiles and other works and assesses the club's far-reaching influence on art. 106 illustrations, 46 in full color, 9 x 10" Ronald G. Pisano is a scholar and curator who has written several books on American art. He lives in New York City. MARY ANN APICELLA is a London-based consultant for the Department of American Decorative Arts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. LINDA HENEFIELD SKALET is adjunct professor of art history at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tile Club-historical, art biographical, Jun 14 2007
By Irene A. Zuckerbraun "Irene" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tile Club and the Aesthetic Movement in America (Hardcover)
This is the biography of a group of artists who, needing additional income, decided to meet monthly to create their art on tiles. Artists are well known and easily recognized. One learns about their art as well as their private lives which turn aout to be very "arty" amusing, informative. This book goes beyond the serious biographical facts and into their lives and fun loving fantasies. The period of the tile club was short and entertaining.
