19957226000001Jackson MS: University Press of Mississippi 1995. Softbound. VG. Illustrated wraps. 80 pp. 16 color 19 bw plates. Text written by Rene Paul Barilleaux and Victoria J. Beck. An excellent examination of this turn-of-the-century artist who painted impressionist Barbizon style pictures on East Hampton Long Island. An appreciative retrospective of the art of a noted turn-of-the century painter. A leading practitioner of the Barbizon and Impressionist styles dominating the progressive American art scene at the turn of the century Gaines Ruger Donoho 1857-1916 has attracted little scholarly attention since his death. His work was exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon during the 1880s and attracted the critical admiration of noted artists such as James McNeill Whistler and Pierre C. Puvis de Chavannes. In 1889 he was awarded a silver medal at the University Exposition in Paris one of the most important exhibitions of the period. Returning to New York in 1887 Donoho was associated with a group that included Childe Hassam John Twachtman Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell among others of the most advanced artists working in America at that time. Donoho's works were shown in numerous exhibitions at art galleries academies and museums and he became recognized as one of America's most promising artists. Among the first of the early modern American artists to move to Long Island a significant venue for the evolution of American landscape painting Donoho continued to develop his art in a way that suggests the reciprocal influences of Childe Hassam J. Alden Weir John Twachtman and William Merritt Chase.<br/>SUBJECTS. University Press of Mississippi unknown books

1981181711981. Softcover. VG- small sticker on rear cover. Manila wraps made top look like a file folder. 86 pp. Numerous color and bw plates. Wraps are really interesting--at first I thought the original wraps were actually just a unique method of rebinding something using a standard file folder but that was actually the original intent. It looks like you just pulled it from a filing cabinet. paperback books

19071873Southeastern Missouri 1907. About very good. Seventy-six silver gelatin photographs on twenty grey card leaves each image approximately 3.75 x 2.25 inches. Square grey cloth album string-tied. Light wear and soiling to covers. Contemporary ink inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and soiling to leaves heaviest on first three leaves. Leaves lightly warped. Two images excised. A charming vernacular photograph album depicting life along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the declining town of Gayoso Missouri. The caption on the front pastedown reads "These pictures made in the year of 1907 by Tom Pierce & Ed Cappoc at Goyaso Mo." Gayoso located on the banks of the Mississippi in the southeasternmost tip of the state was settled in 1799 and incorporated in 1851 as the county seat of Pemiscot County. By 1898 the movement of the river threatened to swamp the town and the county seat was moved to several miles south to Caruthersville. Though the river changed course and briefly spared Gayoso by 1900 its post office closed and today any remnants are buried deep in the silt of the Gayoso Bend Conservation Area. The present images show the town disappearing as the river eats away at large swathes of its surrounding land.<br/><br/>Several of the images depict flooding and high water -- trees standing in water men wading to cut lumber riverbank erosion and one image seems to show a collapsed pier. Other views show boats traveling up and down the Mississippi some ferrying lumber several large paddlewheelers and men poling lumber on rafts. One image shows a horse and buggy on what we presume to be the main street of Gayoso with a storefront visible behind the rig. Many of the images show the hardy folk who are still living in the remains of the dying town -- a woman and child in front of a clapboard house with a rotting porch and crumbling roof; a group of boys and three dogs all laughing in front of a building that may be the schoolhouse; one man apparently giving a haircut to his friend seated in front of some steps high water visible amongst the trees in the background; and several images which show men and boys logging and lumbering some of them standing in waist-high water while they fell doomed stands of trees. The album captures a slice of life on the Mississippi River at the turn of the century with all its attendant hardships commercial opportunities and dangers. unknown books
