| Zusammenfassung: | "Called "America's playground," Coney Island is a world-famous resort and national cultural symbol that has inspired music, literature, and films. This groundbreaking book is the first to look at the site's enduring status as inspiration for artists throughout the ages, from its inception as an elite seaside resort in the mid-19th century, to its evolution into an entertainment mecca for the masses, with the eventual closing of its iconic amusement park, Astroland, in 2008 after decades of urban decline. How artists chose to portray Coney Island between 1861 and 2008--in tableaux of wonder and menace, hope and despair, dreams and nightmares--mirrored the aspirations and disappointments of the era. This dazzling catalogue highlights more than 200 images from Coney Island's history, including paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, posters, film stills, architectural artifacts, and carousel animals. An extraordinary array of artists is represented, from George Bellows, William Merritt Chase, Reginald Marsh, and Joseph Stella to Diane Arbus, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Frank, Red Grooms, Weegee, and Swoon. Essays by prominent scholars analyze Coney Island through its imagery and ephemera as both a place and an idea--one that reflected the collective soul of the nation." -- Publisher's description |

This groundbreaking book is the first to look at the site's enduring status as inspiration for artists throughout the ages, from its inception as an elite seaside resort in the mid-19th century, to its evolution into an entertainment mecca for the masses, with the eventual closing of its iconic amusement park, Astroland, in 2008 after decades of urban decline. How artists chose to portray Coney Island between 1861 and 2008--in tableaux of wonder and menace, hope and despair, dreams and nightmares--mirrored the aspirations and disappointments of the era. This dazzling catalogue highlights more than 200 images from Coney Island's history, including paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, posters, film stills, architectural artifacts, and carousel animals. An extraordinary array of artists is represented, from George Bellows, William Merritt Chase, Reginald Marsh, and Joseph Stella to Diane Arbus, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Frank, Red Grooms, Weegee, and Swoon. Essays by prominent scholars analyze Coney Island through its imagery and ephemera as both a place and an idea--one that reflected the collective soul of the nation." -- Publisher's description Geschichte 1861-2008 gnd rswk-swf Amusement parks / New York (State) / New York / Pictorial works Amusement parks fast Manners and customs fast Unterhaltungsindustrie gnd Freizeitpark gnd Rezeption gnd Kunst gnd Alltag, Brauchtum Geschichte Freizeitpark (DE-588)4199476-0 gnd rswk-swf Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd rswk-swf Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) / History / Exhibitions Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) / In art / Exhibitions Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) / History / Pictorial works Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) / Social life and customs / Pictorial works Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) / Pictorial works New York (N.Y.) / Social life and customs / Pictorial works New York (State) / New York fast New York (State) / New York / Coney Island fast New York, NY / Coney Island gnd New York, NY Coney Island (DE-588)4611891-3 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4135467-9 Ausstellungskatalog 2015 Hartford, Conn. gnd-content New York, NY Coney Island (DE-588)4611891-3 g Freizeitpark (DE-588)4199476-0 s Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 s Geschichte 1861-2008 z DE-604 Frank, Robin Jaffee Sonstige (DE-588)188483462 oth Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art Sonstige (DE-588)5522375-8 oth San Diego Museum of Art Sonstige (DE-588)2107923-7 oth Brooklyn Museum Sonstige (DE-588)1023174-2 oth Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum Sonstige (DE-588)3003037-7 oth |
