About the book

In «Portraits in Plaster, from the Collection of Laurence Hutton,» the author intricately weaves together art history and personal narrative, offering readers an engaging exploration of plaster casts as profound historical artifacts. Hutton, a noted figure in the late 19th century, employs a descriptive yet accessible literary style, immersing his audience in the nuances of these tactile sculptures, which were once prevalent educational tools in art and anatomy. The book provides a meticulous examination of the cultural contexts surrounding the creation and collection of plaster casts, revealing how they represent a distinctive intersection of art, science, and craftsmanship during the era of the Grand Tour. Laurence Hutton (1843-1904) was an American author and critic with a keen interest in the arts and education. His background in collecting casts and his personal experiences traveling through Europe shaped his understanding of the significance of these pieces. Hutton's rich career in literature and the arts informed his writing, allowing him to elevate plaster casts from mere replicas to symbols of artistic ambition and learning. I highly recommend «Portraits in Plaster» to art enthusiasts, historians, and general readers alike. This beautifully illustrated volume not only captivates with its rich visuals but also invites deep reflection on the intersections of art and education, while also serving as an essential resource for those interested in the evolution of artistic representation.
