Download or read book Jeff Koons written by Massimiliano Gioni and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by curator Masimilliano Gioni, this book focuses in particular on Koons' art as seen in relation to contemporary American culture. With his aesthetics of plenitude and his pop-up dreams of social mobility and acceptance, throughout his career Koons has composed a "fantasy America [...] custom-made from art and schmaltz and emotions" -to use Warhol's description of his own interpretation of American culture. Through the inclusion of source materials, personal recollections and biographical narratives, the book reads each of Koons' celebrated series through the prism of his biography and the ways in which his individual history intersects with that of his country and culture. Ranging from his upbringing in rural Pennsylvania to his fascination for popular culture and vernacular art, the publication composes an unconventional view of Jeff Koons and his work, retracing the personal influences and cultural histories that have shaped Koons's unique formal vocabulary. Published to accompany the major exhibition in Doha in March 2021, the catalogue features an interview with Jeff Koons by the curator, and essays by the well-known art critic Dodie Kazanjian and the Qatari-American writer and artist Sophia Al Maria.
Book Synopsis Modern Arab Art by : Nada M. Shabout
Download or read book Modern Arab Art written by Nada M. Shabout and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Modern Arab Art provides a historical and theoretical overview of the forces that have spawned artistic movements across the Middle East from the 1940s through today. Nada Shabout recognizes the important distinction between Arabic art and Islamic art, and views them as overlapping rather than synonymous subjects. Based on interviews with Arab artists, reviews of Arabic resources, and visits to sites and galleries in the Arab world, Shabout provides an introduction to a field that has been long neglected. With particular emphasis on production, reception, and the intersection between art and politics in Iraq and Palestine, she reveals the fallacy in Western fascination with Arab art as a timeless and exotic 'other'"--Jacket.
Book Synopsis Surrealism in Egypt by : Sam Bardaouil
Download or read book Surrealism in Egypt written by Sam Bardaouil and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thick of the Second World War, the Cairo-based Surrealist collective Art et Liberte were pioneering new art forms and mounting subversive exhibitions that sent shockwaves across local artistic circles. Born with the publication of their Manifesto Long Live Degenerate Art on December 22nd, 1938, the group rejected the convergence of art and nationalism, aligning themselves with a complex, international and evolving Surrealist movement spanning cities such as Paris, London, Mexico City, New York, Beirut and Tokyo. Art and Liberty created a distinct reworking of Surrealism, which provided a generation of disillusioned Egyptian and non-Egyptian artists and writers, men and women alike, with a platform for cultural reform and anti-Fascist protest. Surrealism in Egypt is the first comprehensive analysis of Art and Liberty's artworks, literature and critical writings on Surrealism. By addressing the group's long-lost and often misconstrued legacy, and drawing on a substantial body of previously unpublished primary documents and more than 200 field interviews, the author charts Art and Liberty's significant contribution towards a new definition of Surrealism.Moving beyond the polarizing dichotomies of Saidian Orientalism, this book rewrites the history of Surrealism itself - advocating for a new definition of the movement that reflects an inclusive vision of art history.

Download or read book Lantern in the Mist written by Liliana Shelbrook and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sisters Kathleen and Josie Colby are alone in the boomtown of Skagway, newly arrived and penniless amid the violence and greed of the gold miners and those who prey upon them. The gold rush of 1899 has transformed Alaska into the favored destination for all the dreamers and desperadoes of the world. Kathleen and Josie did not venture to Alaska to make their fortunes with a sudden gold strike. They have come seeking their father, but they learn that he is already dead. Their mother also dies by violence in Skagway, killed by a stray bullet intended for a different victim. Strong and spirited Kathleen will do anything to protect her helpless sister Josie, a quadriplegic who seems to most people to be completely unable to communicate. Kathleen believes that Josie is perfectly aware of everything that goes on around her, and that she can communicate with anyone who pays attention, though she cannot make herself understood with ordinary words. When it appears that her sister will be placed in an asylum, Kathleen turns to a handsome and plausible man for help. He tells her that he will soon marry her and help her care for her sister, and she believes him. But he is not to be trusted. In a drunken rage, he assaults her and leaves her bleeding on the muddy streets of Skagway. Kathleen will need all her strength and courage to heal and to go on. She is resolved to take her sister home, or to such a home as they have, to their father's family in New York City. Yet to reach New York will be a difficult and dangerous adventure. Their journey will change Kathleen from a naive and impulsive young woman to someone with the knowledge and understanding to take on the Old West amid the growing pangs of a new century. Sam Winslow turns up to help Kathleen and Josie as they travel. He is a quietly spiritual man, someone who holds beliefs that Kathleen can scarcely credit. Yet sometimes she feels that she nearly understands him, that she comes close to sharing the spiritual experiences that give meaning to his life. Sam treats Josie with respect and understanding and shows Kathleen as much tenderness as she will allow. He is a man of many secrets, a man who seems to share his feelings as scantily as Kathleen now shares her own. She tries to leave him behind more than once, but still she senses something between them, something unspoken. He confuses Kathleen, driving her away as he attracts her. She knows that she cannot trust another supposed rescuer, that she alone must rescue herself. She is sure that she must learn to stand on her own legs before she can build a relationship with any man. She is drawn to this strange and passionate man, yet she has her goals and her responsibilities. A man in her life would only be a distraction, she tells herself. Perhaps the brutal assault she endured in Skagway has closed off her heart to the possibility of faith in someone else. Can she someday learn to trust again--and begin to learn to love?
