Southwest Art July 2016 Digital Edition

Description

You’ll love the digital download of the July 2016 issue of Southwest Art if:

• You love the works of Joaquín Sorolla, John Singer Sargent, and Anders Zorn.
• You love the art of the landscape, whether it depicts pristine mountain wilderness or densely populated inner cities.
• You love Frederic Remington’s interpretations of the changing American West.

In the July 2016 issue of Southwest Art we step back in time to look at several artists of the late 19th century who have had an enormous impact on realist artists today. In “Masters of Realism” we look at the lives and artwork of John Singer Sargent, Joaquín Sorolla, and Anders Zorn, and we talk with three established realist painters today who have been inspired by their work. In “Frederic Remington’s Vision” we share an excerpt from a new book edited by Peter H. Hassrick called Frederic Remington: A Catalogue Raisonné II, a compilation of essays by art historians on various aspects of the iconic artist’s life and work.

Also in this issue we meet two landscape artists, Ralph Oberg and Mark Mehaffey, approaching their canvases with very different objectives, styles, and mediums.
