Summary

"Frank Duveneck (1848-1919) was one of the most influential and widely respected late-nineteenth-century American artists. Seeing the bold, confident handling with which Duveneck infuses life into his subjects can be breathtaking. Beloved by his students, Duveneck was also lauded by many Gilded Age luminaries such as James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Henry James. Yet a century after his death, he is largely known only for a single, brilliant painting, The Whistling Boy. By contextualizing his work in the artistic, cultural, and social milieus of the time, this volume offers diverse perspectives on Duveneck's life, work, subjects, and reputation. The essays span his beginnings as a painter of dark Realism to his later impressionistic work and examine his significance as a printmaker and draftsman. The lavishly illustrated volume includes a chronology and a selected bibliography"--
