Download or read book From Rodin to Giacometti written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of papers delivered at an international conference in September 1996 at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art during a major Giacometti retrospective. The contributors are leading curators, art historians and literature specialists. While the relationship between nineteenth- and twentieth-century painters and writers has been the subject of intense interest in recent years, the parallel relationship between sculptors and writers has been largely neglected. These essays seek to redress the balance by looking at a variety of ways in which the conventional barriers between writing and sculpting were broken down by such pioneering figures as Rodin, Degas, Bourdelle, Valéry, Apollinaire, Reverdy, Breton, Bataille, Arp, Picasso and Giacometti. Among the topics discussed are: the many personal and professional contacts, dual artistic talent, 'Ecrits d'artistes', ekphrasis, sculpture as object, the sculptorly representation of the poet, the poetic representation of the sculptor, sculpture as metaphor, proprioception and mental images. Fully illustrated throughout, this book offers new perspectives on familiar masterpieces like Rodin's Gates of Hell, but also opens up less well known subjects like Valéry's sculpture and Breton's Object-Poems. Above all it makes a provocative and original contribution to Word and Image studies.
Book Synopsis Line and Sculpture in Dialogue by : Kasser Mochary Foundation
Download or read book Line and Sculpture in Dialogue written by Kasser Mochary Foundation and published by Hirmer Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Line is an essential element in twentieth-century sculpture, and among the first to creatively explore the interpretation of figure through a single line was Auguste Rodin, whose 1893 bronzework L'Éternelle Idole is among the modernist masterpieces in the first-rate art collection of Elizabeth and Alexander Kasser. Line and Sculpture in Dialogue reproduces more than fifty works of art held by the Kasser/Mochary Family Foundation, among them Rodin's L'Éternelle Idole and works by Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, and Alberto Giacometti.Primarily sculptures and graphic art, the works offer new perspectives on modernism with special consideration to the artists' fascination with line as a means of representation. Together, the artworks also demonstrate the shift within modernism toward abstraction. Beautifully illustrated, this volume offers a fascinating look at the development of new methods and styles within twentieth-century sculpture.

Book Synopsis Rodin, Brancusi, Carl Andre... le socle by : Évelyne-Dorothée Allemand
Download or read book Rodin, Brancusi, Carl Andre... le socle written by Évelyne-Dorothée Allemand and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le présent ouvrage est réalisé à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au MUba Eugène Leroy, Tourcoing, du 14 octobre 2017 au 8 janvier 2018.00Jusqu?à l?époque moderne, le socle a joué un rôle purement fonctionnel. Avec "Les Bourgeois de Calais", Auguste Rodin, pour la première fois, interroge le rôle du socle en l?intégrant à l?œuvre. Un peu plus tard, Constantin Brancusi en fait sculpture à part entière ; les socles multiples, qu?il empile parfois jusqu?à quatre ou cinq, constituent ainsi des édifices complexes ayant leur propre raison d?être. C?est sa "Colonne sans fin", sculpture qui a particulièrement retenu l?attention de Carl Andre. L?américain emprunte à celle-ci la répétition d?un motif simple pour créer ses premières sculptures minimalistes : combinaison de modules de bois brut aux formes géométriques élémentaires.

Book Synopsis Giacometti: Critical Essays by : Peter Read
Download or read book Giacometti: Critical Essays written by Peter Read and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giacometti: Critical Essays brings together new studies by an international team of scholars who together explore the whole span of Alberto Giacometti's work and career from the 1920s to the 1960s. During this complex period in France's intellectual history, Giacometti's work underwent a series of remarkable stylistic shifts while he forged close affiliations with an equally remarkable set of contemporary writers and thinkers. This book throws new light on under-researched aspects of his output and approach, including his relationship to his own studio, his work in the decorative arts, his tomb sculptures and his use of the pedestal. It also focuses on crucial ways his work was received and articulated by contemporary and later writers, including Michel Leiris, Francis Ponge, Isaku Yanaihara and Tahar Ben Jelloun. This book thus engages with energising tensions and debates that informed Giacometti's work, including his association with both surrealism and existentialism, his production of both 'high' art and decorative objects, and his concern with both formal issues, such as scale and material, and with the expression of philosophical and poetic ideas. This multifaceted collection of essays confirms Giacometti's status as one of the most fascinating artists of the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Alberto Giacometti by : Alberto Giacometti
Download or read book Alberto Giacometti written by Alberto Giacometti and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Space does not exist," the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) wrote in 1949. "It has to be created... Every sculpture made on the assumption that space exists is wrong, there is only the illusion of space." This fascinating statement serves as a conceptual underpinning for Hatje Cantz's new appraisal of the artist's mature work. Giacometti's emaciated sculptures have long been seen as symbols of a newly anxious, frail humanity. But more recently, attention has come to focus on the relevance of his work for contemporary considerations of space and time. Alberto Giacometti: The Origin of Space supplies a comprehensive overview of the later works of this lastingly influential artist, presenting 200 color images of sculptures, paintings and drawings.

Book Synopsis The Necessity of Sculpture by : Eric Gibson
Download or read book The Necessity of Sculpture written by Eric Gibson and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Necessity of Sculpture brings together a selection of articles on sculpture and sculptors from Eric Gibson’s nearly four-decade career as an art critic. It covers subjects as diverse as Mesopotamian cylinder seals, war memorials, and the art of the American West; stylistic periods such as the Hellenistic in Ancient Greece and Kamakura in medieval Japan; Michelangelo, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and other historical figures; modernists like Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, and Alberto Giacometti; and contemporary artists including Richard Serra, Rachel Whiteread, and Jeff Koons. Organized chronologically by artist and period, this collection is as much a synoptic history of sculpture as it is an art chronicle. At the same time, it is an illuminating introduction to the subject for anyone coming to it for the first time.
Book Synopsis A Giacometti Portrait by : James Lord
Download or read book A Giacometti Portrait written by James Lord and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1980-07 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we look at a painting hanging on an art gallery wall, we see only what the artist has chosen to disclose--the finished work of art. What remains mysterious is the process of creation itself--the making of the work of art. Everyone who has looked at paintings has wondered about this, and numerous efforts have been made to discover and depict the creative method of important artists. A Giacometti Portrait is a picture of one of the century's greatest artists at work. James Lord sat for eighteen days while his friend Alberto Giamcometti did his portrait in oil. The artist painted, and the model recorded the sittings and took photographs of the work in its various stages. What emerged was an illumination of what it is to be an artist and what it was to be Giacometti--a portrait in prose of the man and his art. A work of great literary distinction, A Giacometti Portrait is, above all, a subtle and important evocation of a great artist.
