About This Item
New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 2010. Softbound. As New. Color illustrated wraps. French flaps, [xvi] 224 pp, profuse color and BW figures and plates. From the publisher--The essays in John La Farge's Second Paradise explore the artist's reemergence as a plein air landscape painter, his use of the sketchbook, and his late decorative work, which was reinvigorated by the experience of light and color he discovered in the South Seas. Further discussions examine the prevailing notions of tropical paradise perpetuated since Captain Cook's "discovery" of Polynesia in the late 18th century, and offer the first extended comparison of the careers and art of La Farge and Paul Gauguin, who arrived in Tahiti only days after La Farge left in 1891. Featuring many previously unpublished works, this beautiful book is a major contribution to the study of La Farge's life and art.
Contributors include: Henry Adams, Elizabeth C. Childs, John Stuart Gordon, and Anna Arabindan-Kesson.
