Sadakichi Hartmann
Brilliant and controversial, art critic Sadakichi Hartmann wrote copiously about American and European art and the shaping of American culture during the decades from 1890 to 1910. Jane Weaver has recovered and assembled over fifty of Hartmann's critical writings from influential, though often obscure, turn-of-the-century journals. These reviews and theoretical essays not only provide some of the earliest known criticism of important artists and photographers of the period, but also make Hartmann's fundamental—and uniquely American—definition of modernism available to students of art and cultural history. A most useful adjunct to the text is a complete bibliography of Hartmann's writings on art, as well as an annotated checklist of all the artists treated by Hartmann in this book. Sadakichi Hartmann (1867-1944), half German, half Japanese, learned the American cast of mind and heart as a beloved young disciple of the aged Walt Whitman. Reflecting the poet's zealous vision, Hartmann's piercing commentaries on the art centers of Boston and New York offer unparalleled documentation of the years before and after 1900.
Sadakichi Hartmann, Alien Son
Sadakichi Hartmann was born in Japan in 1867, the second son of Prussian businessman Carl Hartmann and a young prostitute, Osada. Upon her death shortly after Sadakichi’s birth, both boys were sent to Hamburg, Germany to live and be educated, as promised by Hartmann Senior to their mother on her deathbed. With this act of kindness, their father completely washed his hands of any further obligation to the boys. He ignored them completely as he continued his profession traveling the world over as a business rep for various corporations. Their father’s rare appearances, and gelid distance toward them when he was present, affected Sadakichi depressingly, he having a satiating need of a fathe...
Sadakichi Hartmann
"So much critical writing on the visual arts in this country today is what I call criticism without memory. This book does much to restore an important chapter in the cultural memory all of our critics should have."—Hilton Kramer, Editor, The New Criterion
Conversations with Walt Whitman
Sadakichi Hartmann was born on the artificial island of Dejima, Nagasaki, to a Japanese mother, who died soon after childbirth, and a German father. He was raised in Germany and came to Philadelphia in 1882. Two years after arriving, at the age of seventeen, he paid his first visit to Walt Whitman, now sixty-five years old, who was living modestly just across the Delaware River, in Camden. Fascinated by the poet’s life and work, Sadakichi would visit Whitman several times over the course of six years, to talk about literature and to question the poet about contemporary authors and books. Sadakichi went on to publish Whitman’s opinions first in the New York Herald, in 1880, arousing the indignation of many and making him unpopular with the admirers of the poet, and later, in 1885, in Conversations with Walt Whitman.
My Rubaiyat
Sadakichi Hartmann's 'My Rubaiyat' is a collection of his unique and thought-provoking quatrains that delve into themes of love, nature, and spirituality. Written in a modernist style, the book challenges traditional poetic forms and experiments with language and structure, creating a truly avant-garde work of art. Hartmann's quatrains are imbued with vivid imagery and philosophical insights, making them both engaging and intellectually stimulating for readers. This book is a testament to Hartmann's prowess as a poet and his willingness to push the boundaries of conventional poetry. Born to a German father and a Japanese mother, Hartmann's multicultural background and interest in Eastern philosophies greatly influenced his work, contributing to the depth and complexity found in 'My Rubaiyat'. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in modernist poetry, unconventional literary forms, and contemplative reflections on life and existence.

The Valiant Knights of Daguerre
"From 1898 until shortly after World War I, Hartmann rampaged through the photographic world, first as Alfred Stieglitz's iconoclastic hatchetman of the Photo-Secession movement, later as an unruly rebel sniping away at his mentor under the pseudonym of Caliban. One of the most prolific photographic critics of all time, Hartmann discovered many of our greatest photographers, championed photography as an art form, and sparked endless controversies about the medium." -- page [2] of cover.
