	1	0060214813 Sensation and Sensibility: Viewing Gainsborough's Cottage Door New Haven, CT Yale University Press 2005 0300110022 / 9780300110029 Hard Cover As New As New As new hardcover in as new dust jacket-- book is still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrink wrap; 216 pages with index and end notes; well-illustrated with (primarily) color and Black & white photographs and drawings. This book is a celebration of an art exhibition of the same name as the title that was held at the Yale Center for British Art (New Haven, CT) and The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens (San Marino, CA) in 2005/2006. The book brings together the cottage-door paintings that were a hallmark of Gainsborough's later career. The paintings are accompanied by authoratative essays which demonstrate Gainsborough's 18th Century value of "sensibility". Sensibility in shown in the art by how his rural landscape and rustic figures exemplify the values of nature and its innocence and simplicity. "To this end contributors to the volume investigate new viewing practices asociated with sensibility, the meaning of the cottage for Gainsborough and his contemporaries, the artist's creation of affecting landscapes through the use of peasant subjects, and his theatrical treatment of these subjects in order to heighten his viewers' emotional responses."
