Book Synopsis Images of Modern Evil by : Albert Tucker
Download or read book Images of Modern Evil written by Albert Tucker and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exhibition catalogue was published to accompany an exhibition of the same title at Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne in 2011.In 1943 Albert Tucker began a new phase in his art. Recently discharged from the army and primed with a fresh vocabulary of imagery that drew upon his wartime experiences, he commenced a suite of paintings which is now seen as a turning point in the advancement of modernism within twentieth-century Australian culture. The Images of Modern Evil series, painted between 1943 and 1948, offers a probing and powerful insight into the schismatic socio-political climate of World War II and its aftermath. Though neither critically nor popularly successful at the time, the series proved formative in Tucker's practice as a distillation of humanist, psychological and mythological ideas and as a vehicle for specific motifs and narratives that have endured within his art.The series starts with pictures of predatory and lascivious behaviour in Melbourne's streets at night that have a gritty, elemental edge. As it progresses there is a greater sense of story-telling, and by the series' end the influence of the avant-garde art of Pablo Picasso - in both style and subject - is clearly in evidence. Picasso was, however, but one of a variety of literary and artistic sources that Tucker drew on to help shape the Images: others included the poetry of T.S. Eliot; the imaginative creativity of the surrealists; the roughened political sentiments and social commentary of the German expressionists; and, pervasively, Carl Jung's psychological treatises on irrationality, myths and archetypes, and on the personal and collective unconscious.Tucker kept the Images of Modern Evil together and in his possession for more than thirty years, before 28 of the 39 constituent works were acquired for the collection of the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Accompanied by studies, related works on paper and archival material, this is the first time that all locatable works in the series have been displayed together.

Book excerpt: This exhibition catalogue was published to accompany an exhibition of the same title at Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne in 2012.In a career spanning over sixty years, Ken Whisson has been making thoughtful and uncompromising paintings and drawings which hold a unique place in Australian art. Whisson's reputation has been built around his tenacious dedication to the act of painting and persistent fascination with - and singular responses to - the delicate machinations of both the inner world and the world at large.The exhibition - titled by the artist via Emmanual Kant: `To live as if', and the Paris surrealists: `Let us live as if the world really exists' - traces the evolution of Whisson's major themes and series, from his powerful portrayals of human relations to those which consider relationships with natural, built and cultural environments. Ken Whisson: As If is a major retrospective of the artist's work and is produced in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.

Book excerpt: As a painter, James Coburn has refined and intensified a unique personal language of symbols for his work. Within his immediately recognizable and highly individual form of abstract expressionism he has developed a compressed emotional power reminiscent of Mark Rothko. Acknowledged as a leading painter and an elder statesman in the Australian arts, Queensland-born John Coburn is represented in all Australian State galleries and many overseas collections, including the Vatican Museum. He has also achieved international recognition for his magnificent Sydney Opera House Curtains of the Sun and Moon and his Seven Days of Creation tapestries hanging in the Kennedy Centre, Washington.
Download or read book Dorrit Black written by Tracey Lock-Weir and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorrit Black is the last major Australian modernist to be the subject of a monograph. Her importance to Australian art has not been revised for thirty-five years, and the book aims to reposition her as a figure of great significance in the development of Australian modernism. The book places Dorrit Black at the forefront of bringing to Australia the revolutionary movement of cubism upon her return to Sydney from Europe in late 1929. Black significantly contributed to the acceptance of modernism in Australia through both her teaching and art practice in Sydney and Adelaide. Although best-known as a print-maker the book highlights her talent as a painter. The power and luminosity of her later Adelaide south coast and Adelaide Hills landscapes are unsurpassed and demonstrate a major shift in modern Australian landscape painting. The book illustrates in colour a selection of her paintings, linocut prints, drawings, watercolours and textiles and the subjects range from portraiture, still life to landscape. The essays are broadly chronological and cover several major themes: Black's formative European period (1927-29), her second Sydney period (1930-33) and her Adelaide period (1935-51).

Book Synopsis The Life, Art and Religious Iconography of David Wright by : Peter French
Download or read book The Life, Art and Religious Iconography of David Wright written by Peter French and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases the contribution Australian contemporary glass artist David Wright has made to Australian art and international glassmaking. From 1970 until 2014, David Wright produced hundreds of high quality art glass windows for Australian public, private and sacred spaces, including significant national churches, chapels, and synagogues, yet little scholarly research on the artist and his place in Australian art history exists. Including the first catalogue raisonné ever produced on the artist, combined with a close examination of his opus, his influences, manufacturing methods and personal history, this book demonstrates for the first time the extraordinary contribution David Wright made to Australian art and contemporary glassmaking.
