Podcast appearances and mentions of augustus saint gaudens

The Irish-born Augustus Saint-Gaudens came to this country as a small child and over the course of his career and life, reaching into the early years of the 20th century, became an artist that truly defined a look for America in sculpture.  His extraordinary natural talent grew into a master artist who was able to create lifelike depictions in marble and bronze that brought a realism never before seen in American sculpture. Saint-Gauden's style combines realistic imagery, allegory and architectural elements to create unique and very modern experiences for viewers. He's perhaps best known for his monumental casts of Civil War heroes from Admiral Daniel Farragut, General William Tecumseh Sherman and President Abraham Lincoln.Joining The Gilded Gentleman for this episode is Thayer Tolles, the Marica F. Vilcek Curator of American Painting and Sculpture at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Thayer is a noted historian, writer and specialist in Saint-Gaudens life and work. This episode offers a full view of Saint-Gaudens extraordinary life and a detailed look at some of his most famous works. Listeners can also visit the Saint Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish, New Hampshire.

Inspired by commemorative poetry and detailed research, Poetry II students at Auburn University, led by Associate Professor Rose McLarney, produced their own poem in response to the work of sculptors Daniel Chester French and Augustus Saint-Gaudens as well as local monuments. The student poems personify the monuments and juxtapose point of views, encouraging viewers to consider the monuments anew. Their work brings to light issues of gender, race, and constructions of “America.” Listen to all the poems: https://soundcloud.com/thejulemuseum/sets/monuments-and-myths-poetry

One of the top experts in the world of numismatics, Jeff Garrett sold more than 25 million dollars worth of rare coins and precious metals, he authored books like "100 Greatest U.S. Coins" and "United States Coinage: A Study By Type" and is the former president of ANA. During our very interesting talk, he told us fascinating stories about his 3+ million dollar purchase of a 1913 Liberty Head V nickel, how he started collecting coins and what is the most expensive piece he sold, and is there room for conspiracy in the infamous Denver's mint 1964 Peace dollar? Mr. Garrett explained the art behind the incredible work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the Double Eagle coin and President Theodore Roosevelt's involvement in it. We got to know why is he proudest of his role with the Smithsonian museum and his influence in opening a permanent gallery of numismatics in the American Museum of Natural History. We discuss the connection between currency and national pride, the importance to plant numismatics seeds, and what the future holds for the hobby. We even talked about Pawn Stars and his involvement in the series, and also the only Montenegrin national currency - perper. Numismatics is interesting!

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1717 Birth of Catharina Helena Dörrien ("Durr-ee-in"), German botanist, writer, and artist. After the death of her parents, Catharina became a governess for the Erath ("AIR-rit") family in Dillenburg. Sophie Erath was a childhood friend of Catharina's, and Anton Erath was an attorney; they became Catharina's second family. While teaching the Erath children, Catharina turned to nature to teach almost every subject. Catharina even wrote her own textbooks, heavily focused on botany and the natural world. As the Erath children grew, Catharina focused on her botanical work. Anton helped her gain membership to the Botanical Society of Florence - something unheard of for women of her time. Catharina would go on to be a member of the Berlin Society of Friends of Nature Research and the Regensburg Botanical Society in Germany. When Catharina was alive, Dillenburg was part of the Orange-Nassau principality. And Catharine's 496-page flora called Flora for Orange-Nassau was published in 1777. Catharina not only used the Linnaean system to organize and name each specimen, but she also named two new fungi ("funj-eye") - two little lichens - she named major Doerrieni ("Durr-ee-en-ee") and minor Doerrieni- an extraordinary accomplishment for a woman during the 1700s. As for her botanical illustrations, Catharina created over 1,400 illustrations of local flora and fauna. Yet, these masterpieces never made it into her flora. Instead, Catharina's botanical art became an heirloom passed down through the generations of the Erath family. In 1875 a few pieces of Catharina's work were shown at an exhibition. However, fifteen years later, a large collection of paintings by Johann Philipp Sandberger was bought by the Museum of Wiesbaden. Johann was a dear friend of Anton Erath's, and today, his work is considered to be copies of Catharine's original watercolor masterpieces. Still, Sandberger's pieces are precious because they give us a glimpse of Catharine's breadth and depth of talent. Without Sandberger, all would be lost because the bulk of Catharine's work has been lost to time. The curator Friedrich von Heinbeck once said that the precision of Catharine's brush strokes was like that of an embroiderer who stitched with only the finest of thread.   1848 Birth of Augustus Saint Gaudens ("gaw-dens") (books about this person), American sculptor of the Beaux-Arts generation. He is remembered for his stunning Civil War monuments, including a work called Abraham Lincoln: The Man.  In Augustus Saint Gaudens, biography, Reminiscences, he wrote, What garlic is to salad, insanity is to art. The Frick museum has a medallion carved by Augustus. He was a fan of Robert Louis Stephenson, and the two met toward the end of Stephenson's life. The medallion has an inscription: Stevenson's poem Underwoods (1887), which reads: Youth now flees on feathered foot Faint and fainter sounds the flute  … Where hath fleeting beauty led?  To the doorway of the dead  Life is over, life was gay We have come the primrose way.   1877 Birth of Lenore Elizabeth Mulets, children's author, poet, and teacher  Born Nora Mulertz in Kansas, Lenore's mother died when she was ten, and so she was raised by her uncle. In addition to teaching, Lenore was a marvelous children's author. Her books were always charming, and her titles include Stories of Birds, Flower Stories, Insect Stories, and Tree Stories, just to name a few. In the preface to Flower Stories, Lenore wrote, When the flowers of the field and garden  lift their bright faces to you,  can you call them by name  and greet them as old acquaintances?  Or, having passed them a hundred times,  are they still strangers to you? And in her book Stories of Birds, Lenore wrote: Such a twittering and fluttering there was when this news came.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Stylish Succulent Designs by Jessica Cain  This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is & Other Botanical Crafts.

Readers wrote in to request the name of the author since Katharine had signed off with only her initials, KSW. Katherine was married to EB White - the author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little.  But the garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence (books about this person) figured out that KSW was Katherine, and she sent her a letter a month later. The two women would exchange correspondence about gardening for the rest of their lives. Here's an excerpt from Elizabeth's letter: I asked Mrs. Lamm if you were Mrs. E. B. White, and she said you were. So please tell Mr. E. B. that he has three generations of devoted readers in this family... Have you the charming Barnhaven catalogs? (Gresham, Oregon).  You should, even if you don't want rare primroses. And do you know Harry E. Saier? Dimondale, Michigan. I subscribe to his Garden Magazine too.

Join Doug and Mitch as they discuss Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his gold double eagle. They describe his monumental sculptural work, his vital role in the Renaissance of American Coinage, and the challenges involved in making his coins a reality. Find out how the determination of Theodore Roosevelt and the artistry of Augustus Saint-Gaudens combined to create an American masterpiece!

This episode introduces the story of the 1933 gold double eagle, a $20 gold coin that has attained legendary status. Host Everett Millman explains the origins of the coin's famous design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the circumstances that led to the 1933-dated coin becoming a major rarity, as well as some fascinating stories involving the coin along the way—including one of its noteworthy owners, the eccentric King Farouk of Egypt. These narratives help illustrate what distinguishes a rare collectible from its more common counterparts.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Karen Ingalls is a retired RN, blogger, and author of three books. Her first book is an award-winning non-fiction about ovarian cancer and how to cope with this too often terminal disease. Novy's Son is a novel based on her father's journey making life-changing choices in the hopes that his father would be proud of him. Her third book is a historical fiction which won two awards for the story about the love affair between Augustus Saint-Gaudens, America's premier sculptor and his model. It is based on fact. She is currently working on another novel which she hopes to have published in early 2019. ABOUT THE BOOK Outshine: An Ovarian Cancer Memoir. The word cancer creates fear in everyone yet it does not need to control one's life. When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I realized how little I knew about it even though I was a nurse. As I began to educate myself I felt overwhelmed by the prevalent negativity of cancer. Rather than let cancer control my life, I focused on the blessings of life, rejoicing in each day, and finding peace in spirituality. I believe that the beauty of the soul, the real me and the real you, outshines the effects of cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Disease is not an absolute, but a challenge to recover. https://www.kareningallsbooks.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Karen-Ingalls/e/B009KT5QWY/

June 7, 2017 at the Boston Athenæum. The story of Robert Gould Shaw is one of heroism and loss. A young man's coming of age was cut short by his early death. His life, beginning in gentle ease, was entwined with the rise of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, the first black regiment in the Union Army. Spurred on by Frederick Douglass, the Regiment proved itself at Fort Wagner. The monument to Colonel Shaw and his men is the work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who, like Shaw, discovered something about himself through the creation of an American masterpiece.

In the second half of this two-part episode, we discuss several works by Saint-Gaudens; monuments that in the hands of lesser sculptors would have been standard, run-of-the-mill statues. But in the hands of a genius, commonplaces become masterpieces.

To tell the story the story of the career of Augustus Saint-Gaudens is to tell the story of American sculpture in the late 19th century. In the first of this two-part biography, we discuss the beginnings of his remarkable career, his unique achievements in low relief, and more.

This episode originally aired on April 4, 2016. https://13thhr.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post&jetpack-copy=4571 Discussion of how not shoot a bow by modeling Hollywood, book covers, and other art https://archive.org/download/13thHrEps16On/13th%20hr%2034.mp3 The Hunger Games movies and books have created a resurgence in archery as a sport.  A lot of times, beginners will wrap a finger around the arrow to keep it from falling off.  But it's best not to ever put your fingers anywhere near the tip of the arrow. Some different grip styles of drawing a bow.  There isn't necessarily a right or wrong - just depends on the gear you have. The famous Diana statue by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.  I originally thought she was using a thumb style draw.  But after looking at the statue more closely, she isn't; she's pinching the arrow nock, a common way beginners think bows are drawn (they can be, though it's hard to manage a stronger pulling bow this way).  Since she's supposed to be a hunter, probably not a hunting bow.   Not sure what's going on here - guess it's some stylized version of the pinch grip. There are some situations where the drawing hand is in this position, but it's when a mechanical release is used. Here, Oliver Queen from Arrow shows an anchor point on his chin, important for accuracy, The position of his right hand seems a bit off in this photo, though I can't imagine they were using real arrows on set. Lara Croft from Tomb Raider (2013) shows the same.  This game actually portrayed archery pretty well, though there some artistic licenses clearly taken. A floating anchor point (the drawing hand is not anchored to another part of the body, like the face or chest).   Not great for accuracy ... http://geekdad.com/2014/08/hawkeyes-fault/ - a funny article about the portrayal of Hawkeye in the Avengers movies.  The 2012 version of the comics, though, portrayed archery more realistically. Needless to say, art is. of course. different from real life and gets a pass on one level for creative license.  But it makes it not the most reliable place from which to learn - at least when it comes to archery. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ News: free raffle for these three ebooks until 4/10! http://gvwy.io/9fdxaih [gallery ids="1964,750,746" type="rectangular"] Brain to Books Fantasy Cyber Convention 4/8/16!

Between the years 1877 and 1887, 31 artists in New York City organized a group called the Tile Club including artists Winslow Homer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and William Merritt Chase. The club created hand-painted ceramic tiles, promoted the decorative arts, and championed American art in general. In 1886 they published a book called A Book of the Tile Club.
