Book Synopsis Letters to a Young Painter by : Rainer Maria Rilke
Download or read book Letters to a Young Painter written by Rainer Maria Rilke and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before translated into English, Rainer Maria Rilke’s fascinating Letters to a Young Painter, written toward the end of his life between 1920 and 1926, is a surprising companion to his infamous Letters to a Young Poet, earlier correspondence from 1902 to 1908. While the latter has become a global phenomenon, with millions of copies sold in many different languages, the present volume has been largely overlooked. In these eight intimate letters written to a teenage Balthus—who would go on to become one of the leading artists of his generation—Rilke describes the challenges he faced, while opening the door for the young painter to take himself and his work seriously. Rilke’s constant warmth, his ability to sense in advance his correspondent’s difficulties and propose solutions to them, and his sensitivity as a person and an artist come across in these charming and honest letters. Writing during his aged years, this volume paints a picture of the venerable poet as he faced his mortality, through the perspective of hindsight, and continued to embrace his openness towards other creative individuals. With an introduction by Rachel Corbett, author of You Must Change Your Life: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin (2016), this book is a must-have for Rilke’s admirers, young and old, and all aspiring artists.

Book Synopsis Rosemarie Beck: Letters to a Young Painter and Other Writings by : Rosemarie Beck
Download or read book Rosemarie Beck: Letters to a Young Painter and Other Writings written by Rosemarie Beck and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Art. Rosemarie Beck (1923-2003) emerged from the second generation of Abstract Expressionists, though her tenure as an abstract painter was brief. By 1958, she had moved completely away from non-objective painting into figuration, a decision that would alter the course of her career. In addition to her five decades of visual work, Beck left behind volumes of letters, journals, and essays on art--ranging from formal analysis of the canon, her own work, and the works of her peers to LETTERS TO A YOUNG PAINTER, an epistolary lecture project. In the writings gathered here, Beck approaches her subjects in the same manner as she would have approached a complex narrative painting: through a richly textured combination of literary allusion, metaphor, direct observation, and autobiography. ROSEMARIE BECK: LETTERS TO A YOUNG PAINTER AND OTHER WRITINGS brings together a selection of Beck's writings for the first time, situating her distinctive voice within the milieu of mid-century artist-writers.

This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Marfield Prize In 1902, Rainer Maria Rilke—then a struggling poet in Germany—went to Paris to research and write a short book about the sculptor Auguste Rodin. The two were almost polar opposites: Rilke in his twenties, delicate and unknown; Rodin in his sixties, carnal and revered. Yet they fell into an instantaneous friendship. Transporting readers to early twentieth-century Paris, Rachel Corbett’s You Must Change Your Life is a vibrant portrait of Rilke and Rodin and their circle, revealing how deeply Rodin’s ideas about art and creativity influenced Rilke’s classic Letters to a Young Poet.
Book Synopsis Letters on Cézanne by : Rainer Maria Rilke
Download or read book Letters on Cézanne written by Rainer Maria Rilke and published by Froom International Pub. This book was released on 1985 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rilke's prayerful responses to the french master's beseeching art "For a long time nothing, and then suddenly one has the right eyes." Virtually every day in the fall of 1907, Rainer Maria Rilke returned to a Paris gallery to view a Cezanne exhibition. Nearly as frequently, he wrote dense and joyful letters to his wife, Clara Westhoff, expressing his dismay before the paintings and his ensuing revelations about art and life. Rilke was knowledgeable about art and had even published monographs, including a famous study of Rodin that inspired his "New Poems," But Cezanne's impact on him could not be conveyed in a traditional essay. Rilke's sense of kinship with Cezanne provides a powerful and prescient undercurrent in these letters -- passages from them appear verbatim in Rilke's great modernist novel, "The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge," "Letters on Cezanne" is a collection of meaningfully private responses to a radically new art.

Book Synopsis Life, Paint and Passion by : Michele Cassou
Download or read book Life, Paint and Passion written by Michele Cassou and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1996-01-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life, Paint And Passion is a deeply involving approach to using the creative process as a tool for self-discovery. With vibrant and contagious enthusiasm, the authors liberate the reader's urge to create freely and spontaneously, as a painter or an artist in another medium, purely for the process of exploration, not for result. With eloquence and simplicity, the authors encourage the reader to journey inward toward his or her authentic self and discover the unique intuition awaiting there. It is this intuition that provides all the tools the reader needs to crumble the barrier between the innermost self and its uncensored manifestation. Through lively interviews with students, the authors explore painting as a practice that facilitates the ecstasy of unfettered expression. With simple brushes, a few dishes of paint, and this book, the reader will be able to coax the hidden self out of the heart and onto a paper. Life, Paint And Passion is the result of nearly thirty years of intensive work with the painting process. It provides powerful insights into the act of creation, a solid base for facing and transcending creative blocks, and brings fresh perceptions and healing to life.

Download or read book Artists' Letters written by Michael Bird and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artists’ Letters is a treasure trove of carefully selected letters written by great artists, providing the reader with a unique insight into their characters and a glimpse into their lives. Arranged thematically, it includes writings and musings on love, work, daily life, money, travel and the creative process. On the theme of friendship, for example, letters provide evidence of a creative community between peers, with support and mutual appreciation that helps to dispel the myth of the artist as solitary genius. Letters between Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin show an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas. We see mutual admiration between Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, and Picasso’s quick notes to Jean Cocteau illustrate their closeness. Correspondence, some of which includes sketches and drawings, is reproduced with the transcript and some background and contextual information alongside. The book brings together a collection of treasures found in letters, which in our digital age are an increasingly lost art.

This book was released on 2000-02-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is art a matter of inspiration or of learning? Advice to Young Artists in a Postmodern Era, offers practical advice to the young artist about making the successful Dunning writes that in his years of teaching, he has heard students ask why no classes are ever offered to teach them what ingredients are helpful to the success of an artist: how to approach and deal with galleries and dealers; what to do about setting up their own studio and how to light it; and even how they should support themselves while they are attempting to do all this. Drawing on thirty-five years of experience as an artist and an art teacher, and those of several successful colleagues, the author follows the model of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet and Hiram William's Notes for a Young Painter to compose this practical guide book. Advice to Young Artists is the only book of its kind geared to aspiring artists.
