Download or read book Art Books written by Wolfgang M. Freitag and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.

Book excerpt: The most in-depth and comprehensive survey of the life and career of one of the pioneering artists of the original graffiti generation. Having forged his graphic style painting subways in New York in the late 1970s, Futura was among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary galleries in the early 1980s, where his paintings shared space with works by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf. As the commercialization of street culture in the 1990s inspired collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands, Futura's work moved toward a more refined expression of his abstract graffiti style. Commissions from era-defining brands such as A Bathing Ape, Stüssy, Supreme, and Mo' Wax saw his artwork canonized as an elemental component of the street aesthetic. Collected here, among never-before-published reproductions of earlier paintings and drawings, is an archive of personal photography and ephemera that reveals how integral Futura has been to the evolution of street art and culture. Guided through more than forty years of work, and with interviews with key players in Futura's career, this is at once a definitive monograph of a legend of contemporary art and an indispensable chapter in the history of graffiti.
Book Synopsis Clegg & Guttmann by : Clegg & Guttmann
Download or read book Clegg & Guttmann written by Clegg & Guttmann and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s, the photographs of Clegg & Guttmann have explored the representation of power and the codification of gestures. Famous for their images of powerful people or families inspired both by seventeenth-century Dutch painting and commissioned portraits for annual reports, they have developed various typologies of photographic portraiture over the past three decades. This volume examines two typological series in particular: "Portraits and Artworks" and "Collaborative Portraits." These series feature artist sitters such as Sari Carel, Joseph Kosuth, David Robbins, Christoph Schlingensief, Joseph Strau, Franz Erhard Walther and Franz West.
Book Synopsis Art as Existence by : Gabriele Guercio
Download or read book Art as Existence written by Gabriele Guercio and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the artist's monograph an endangered species or a timeless genre? This critical history traces the formal and conceptual trajectories of art history's favorite form, from Vasari onward, and reconsiders the validity of the life-and-work model for the twenty-first century. The narrative of the artist's life and work is one of the oldest models in the Western literature of the visual arts. In Art as Existence, Gabriele Guercio investigates the metamorphosis of the artist's monograph, tracing its formal and conceptual trajectories from Vasari's sixteenth-century Lives of the Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (which provided the model and source for the genre) through its apogee in the nineteenth century and decline in the twentieth. He looks at the legacy of the life-and-work model and considers its prospects in an intellectual universe of deconstructionism, psychoanalysis, feminism, and postcolonialism. Since Vasari, the monograph has been notable for its fluidity and variety; it can be scrupulous and exact, probing and revelatory, poetic and imaginative, or any combination of these. In the nineteenth century, the monograph combined art-historical, biographical, and critical methods, and even added elements of fiction. Guercio explores some significant books that illustrate key phases in the model's evolution, including works by Gustav Friedrich Waagen, A. C. Quatremère de Quincy, Johann David Passavant, Bernard Berenson, and others. The hidden project of the artist's monograph, Guercio claims, comes from a utopian impulse; by commuting biography into art and art into biography, the life-and-work model equates art and existence, construing otherwise distinct works of an artist as chapters of a life story. Guercio calls for a contemporary reconsideration of the life-and-work model, arguing that the ultimate legacy of the artist's monograph does not lie in its established modes of writing but in its greater project and in the intimate portrait that we gain of the nature of creativity.
Download or read book Wade Guyton written by Beatrix Ruf and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this artist's book, Wade Guyton decided to print a large-format painting on a 1:1 scale. Flipping through the 360 pages, one looks at the fragments of a unique work, which could potentially be reconstructed by joining the pages together. In a sense, this book is a reflection on the questions of reproduction, the original, the source, and re-formation at the heart of Guyton's practice. If it could be said that Guyton's minimalistic "paintings," which connect directly to abstraction's history, conjure a restructuring of Modernist art and decor, this book offers a mise en abyme of these procedures.(Quelle: www.jrp-ringier.com).
Book Synopsis Quentin Blake - a Year of Drawings by : Claudia Zeff
Download or read book Quentin Blake - a Year of Drawings written by Claudia Zeff and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me. These sequences vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy. But I hope that in each of them in its own way will appeal to anyone who like looking at drawings.' Quentin Blake 2019 Quentin Blake, like many illustrators, works essentially in isolation. In normal times he would make two daily trips to his office across the square from where he lives to see what business there was for him to deal with. But during the lockdowns he had no such distractions and demands made of his time. There was still some commissioned works; he finished two books and he did some work for charities raising funds to deal with the lockdowns. But Quentin had a lot more time to explore his visual interests and go wherever his imagination took him. Some of these series were drawn at 6.00 am while he was still in bed. The medium he used for each series was partly decided by whatever was to hand; pencil, biro or Sennelier oil pastels. Similarly, the size, colour and quality of the paper would be decided by what was available. This book is an edited selection of over 3,000 drawings Quentin produced from March 2020 to February 2021; a portfolio of new personal work, not commissioned and not meant for publication. They provide a unique insight into what happens when a great artist is left to his own devices.
Download or read book Marcel Dzama written by Marcel Dzama and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Marcel Dzama (born 1974) has expanded his widely acclaimed drawing practice to incorporate theatrical realizations of his magical, myth-laden cosmology in three-dimensional dioramas and films. Behind Every Curtain provides a kind of sketchbook companion or dossier on the making of his latest film, A Game of Chess. This work draws on the importance of chess for the early twentieth-century avant-garde (Man Ray, Duchamp, Picabia) and the game's curious overlap with dance, in films and ballets by René Clair and--of especial significance for Dzama--Oskar Schlemmer, whose 1922 Triadic Balletincluded puppet-like masked figures performing on a checkered surface. In Dzama's film, characters based on chess pieces, clad in costumes made from papier-mâché, plaster and fiberglass and wearing elaborate masks, dance across a checkered board to engage their opponents in fatal skirmishes. Distinctions between reality and fiction collapse as both costumed and "real-life" characters in the film are killed. The filming and the creation of the costumes for A Game of Chess were carried out in Guadalajara, Mexico, and the influence of local crafts and religious traditions can also be felt throughout this body of work. Published on the occasion of Dzama's sixth solo exhibition at David Zwirner, this charming and affordable artist's book is packed with full-bleed drawings, sculptures, dioramas and film and production stills that give vivid testimony to the craft and thoroughness of his immensely popular art.

Book Synopsis Art and Criticism by : Theodore Child
Download or read book Art and Criticism written by Theodore Child and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art and Criticism: Monographs and Studies The following monographs and studies have been collected and published in a volume in the hope that they may be of use and of interest to the many refined minds which arc seeking guidance or confirmation in their theoretical or effective admiration of works of art. Their chief merit, supposing that they have merit at all, is the fact that they are free from verbiage. In art criticism, in the opinion of the writer, the qualities to be most desired and esteemed arc sympathy, delicacy of observation and appreciation, and intelligent, reasoned, and lucid admiration. The appreciative and the Creative intellect have certain points in common. No one can ever be taught to see nature, to feel nature, and to express it. The painter of genius will show you how he applies his brush, saying: "See how I do it; go and do likewise, and may God help you!" And if God does not help you, your painting will not be worth talking about. The really great painters arc their own masters; they are men of rare and special temperament, and through this temperament they look at Nature and sec beautiful personal visions such as none have ever before behold. Artists of this high rank are born at rare intervals in the course of the world's history ; they fix their visions in color or in marble, and then disappear forever, carrying away with them the secrets of their mysterious intellectual and visual processes. The first aim of the painter is beauty, or, so far as the portrait is concerned, at least character; the only model and the only Standard is Nature, and the whole theory and practice of painting is subordinated to the largest and the most difficult of all the arts, namely, learning to sec. Nor is the summum of art the literal imitation of Nature. The finest human model, the most charming Landscape, cannot be well imitated except it be interpreted by the intelligence of the artist.
