Wilbur Kurtz made his living as an artist and although born in the north, eventually became an expert in Atlanta history and lived in Atlanta. He is best known for the art work he produced for the great 1939 film Gone With the Wind as well as Technical Advisor for the film. This book is a biography that, for me, was most interesting when discussing Gone With the Wind. However, I did find the photographs of many of Kurtz's works to be beautiful and loved the way he illustrated the envelopes to his fiance'. The book is well written and thoroughly researched. Kurtz throughly researched his historical paintings prior to actually executing them which I found remarkable for an artist. I enjoyed the book but wish more time had been spent on Gone with the Wind. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Nationally renowned Georgia artist and historian Wilbur G. Kurtz launched his career by founding the Pen and Brush Club of Atlanta in 1913. The transplanted Yankee quickly became a premier authority on Old South Atlanta--Margaret Mitchell personally selected Kurtz as technical advisor and artistic director for Gone with the Wind. A co-founder of the Civil War Round Table of Atlanta, Kurtz supervised the placement of more than four hundred historical markers in northeast Georgia documenting various stages of the Atlanta Campaign of 1864. Decades after his passing in 1967 at the age of eighty-five, Kurtz's legacy lives on through his murals and historic paintings on display in public buildings and private art collections throughout Atlanta and the South. Join author David O'Connell as he recounts the fascinating life and vibrant works of Georgia's preeminent artist-historian"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
