Description
Emily Orlando contends that while Wharton’s early work presents women enshrined by men through art, the middle and later fiction shifts the seat of power to women. Edith Wharton and the Visual Arts is the first extended study to examine the presence in Wharton’s fiction of the Pre-Raphaelite poetry and painting of Rossetti and his muses, notably Elizabeth Siddall and Jane Morris.

- Table of contents only
Description
Examining images by photographers such as Weegee and Aaron Siskind and fiction by writers such as William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, Tillie Olsen, and Pietro di Donato, he argues that these artists drew attention to the country’s most vulnerable residents by using what he calls an “aesthetic of astonishment,” focused on startling, graphic images of pain, injury, and prejudice.

Description
Looking into Walt Whitman provides ample evidence that the poet?s engagement with the visual arts extended beyond photography into painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The many images, reproduced in color or as duotones, will be of significance both to Whitman specialists and to readers seeking an introduction to Whitman?s role as a poet who vitally shaped both the visual and literary arts of America.

Attribution
Elizabeth A. Schultz
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 1995
Description
“The great Leviathan is that one creature in the world which must remain unpainted to the last.”–Herman Melville Endlessly pursued but ever elusive, Moby-Dick roams freely throughout the American imagination. The most continuously, frequently, and diversely illustrated of all American novels, Moby-Dick has attracted some remarkable book illustrators in Rockwell Kent, Boardman Robinson, Garrick Palmer, Barry Moser, and Bill Sienkiewicz, among others represented here. It has also inspired extraordinary creations by such prominent artists as Jackson Pollock, Frank Stella, Sam Francis, Benton Spruance, Leonard Baskin, Theodoros Stamos, Richard Ellis, Ralph Goings, Seymour Lipton, Walter Martin, Tony Rosenthal, Richard Serra, and Theodore Roszak.
