Book excerpt: This full-scale survey of Corita Kent's work includes prints and ephemera from all phases of her life, revealing her importance as an activist printmaker and a sylistic innovator in graphic design. Artist, activist, teacher, and devout Catholic Corita Kent (1918-1986) eloquently combined her passions for faith and politics during her rich and varied career. As a teacher at LA's Immaculate Heart College, she fostered a creative and collaborative arts community and developed an interest in printmaking. Her posters, murals, and signature serigraphs combined messages of love and faith with images from popular culture and inventive use of type and color. For Kent, printmaking was a populist medium to communicate with the world around her. This activist spirit came most alive in the 1960s, when her posters and murals addressed subjects like racism and poverty, U.S. military brutalities in Vietnam, and conflicts between radical and conservative positions in the Catholic Church. Even after the war, and after she had left the church, she continued to be active in Boston's urban issues, producing prints and commissioned works until her death in 1986. Full of the lively, colorful work that was so iconically hers, this volume presents four decades of a life dedicated to serving others through and with the language of art.

Book excerpt: Set in 1936 in Belgium and Ceylon, Smoke Portrait traces the development of an unlikely friendship between a young Belgian teenager, Marten Kuypers, and Glen Phayre, an Englishwoman in her twenties. Glen has left England to live on her aunt's tea plantation in Ceylon, where she embarks on the task of writing charitable letters to a Belgian prisoner. But the letters go astray, and are received instead by Marten, eager to discover the wide world outside his small village, and desperately missing his older brother Krelis, who has vanished and is presumed dead...Marten decides to reply to Glen in the guise of the grown-up prisoner she is expecting to hear from, and as their correspondence evolves, they both assume identities that, while false in many respects, remain true to their own selves in other ways. Gradually they come to depend on each other, and their pen friendship proves to be crucial when events in their real lives take on a darker, more threatening turn in the shadow of the impending world war...
Download or read book Brutal Aesthetics written by Hal Foster and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How artists created an aesthetic of “positive barbarism” in a world devastated by World War II, the Holocaust, and the atomic bomb In Brutal Aesthetics, leading art historian Hal Foster explores how postwar artists and writers searched for a new foundation of culture after the massive devastation of World War II, the Holocaust, and the atomic bomb. Inspired by the notion that modernist art can teach us how to survive a civilization become barbaric, Foster examines the various ways that key figures from the early 1940s to the early 1960s sought to develop a “brutal aesthetics” adequate to the destruction around them. With a focus on the philosopher Georges Bataille, the painters Jean Dubuffet and Asger Jorn, and the sculptors Eduardo Paolozzi and Claes Oldenburg, Foster investigates a manifold move to strip art down, or to reveal it as already bare, in order to begin again. What does Bataille seek in the prehistoric cave paintings of Lascaux? How does Dubuffet imagine an art brut, an art unscathed by culture? Why does Jorn populate his paintings with “human animals”? What does Paolozzi see in his monstrous figures assembled from industrial debris? And why does Oldenburg remake everyday products from urban scrap? A study of artistic practices made desperate by a world in crisis, Brutal Aesthetics is an intriguing account of a difficult era in twentieth-century culture, one that has important implications for our own.

Download or read book N by E written by Rockwell Kent and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic tale of seafaring, shipwreck, and survival, reprinted from Wesleyan University Press's 1978 facsimile of the original. When artist, illustrator, writer, and adventurer Rockwell Kent first published N by E in a limited edition in 1930, his account of a voyage on a 33-foot cutter from New York Harbor to the rugged shores of Greenland quickly became a collectors' item. Little wonder, for readers are immediately drawn to Kent's vivid descriptions of the experience; we share "the feeling of wind and wet and cold, of lifting seas and steep descents, of rolling over as the wind gusts hit," and the sound "of wind in the shrouds, of hard spray flung on a drum-tight canvas, of rushing water at the scuppers, of the gale shearing a tormented sea." When the ship sinks in a storm-swept fjord within 50 miles of its destination, the story turns to the stranding and subsequent rescue of the three-man crew, salvage of the vessel, and life among native Greenlanders. Magnificently illustrated by Kent's wood-block prints and narrated in his poetic and highly entertaining style, this tale of the perils of killer nor'easters, treacherous icebergs, and impenetrable fog—and the joys of sperm whales breaching or dawn unmasking a longed-for landfall—is a rare treat for old salts and landlubbers alike.

Book Synopsis A Coward's Guide to Oil Painting - the Novel by : MM Kent
Download or read book A Coward's Guide to Oil Painting - the Novel written by MM Kent and published by Wings and Roots LLC. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mariah Justice is a disillusioned college graduate who sets off with friends in an old shool bus, looking for the perfect place. It is February of 1969. The group stops for Mardi Gras in New Orleans where she finds work at a Po-Boy shop, summons the courage to pose nude as an artist's model, and has an affair with war hero Blaine Grayson. When Blaine leaves for Mexico on business, Mariah lands in Austin. She has an improbable intimate encounter with Cliff Grayson at a waterfall in the dark, but they have to separate before she finds out who he is. Cliff gets in trouble with the law over the events of that night, then loses his job and escapes to Mexico with Blaine, his older brother. When Blaine's airplane crashes and Cliff goes to San Miguel de Allende looking for clues to what happened, he begins to have troubling 'communions' with with his brother that defy his understanding of reality. Confronted by a shortage of facts, he applies art principles to life, changes his name, and develops his own method of investigation. When Mariah learns about the plane crash, she heads to Mexico for her own reasons, also looking for answers about Blaine, but in private moments she longs to find her mystery man from the waterfall. Cliff and Mariah split the telling of the tale in alternating chapters. As they each get closer to the truth about what happened to Blaine, their quests seem to be taking them farther apart, but they are all the time converging toward a perfect place on a southern shore. We can only hope . . . Colorful characters and suspense-filled scenes at a mysterious hacienda outside San Miguel give the story a South of the Border flavor. Sexually curious folks in Austin add spice, and beach scenes in Zihuatanejo provide that patch of blue where the eye can rest. The boundary between what's moral and what's legal gives A Coward's Guide to Oil Painting an outlaw feel, and the principles of painting take it to the level of Art. Excerpt: [Charlie] inspected a spent tobacco ember in his pipe. "I don't think my own art really makes a difference for anyone." "It does for me," I said, with honest appreciation. My mentor nodded, then caught my eye. "Thanks, CJ, that means a lot." "You know, you should write a book." I said. "No, you're the one who should write the book." "But you have all the answers." "And you have all the time. Besides, I don't have all the answers." "At least you have all the questions," I allowed. "That's the truth," he chuckled and cocked his head. "What are you going to call this book of yours?" The notes I'd made in my sketchbook filled page after page, without even touching many of the principles Charlie had taught me. I realized the book was already underway. The first chapter would be about the importance of observation-of paying attention. I remembered my father always exhorting me with those same words, "Pay attention!" Then I considered how different Charlie was from Dad and said, "I think I'll call it A Coward's Guide to Oil Painting."

Download or read book Portrait of Kent written by Andreas Byrne and published by . This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kent is a county of superlatives. The second largest county in England, with the highest population (currently 1.6m), it has more listed buildings and sites of archaeological interest - including eighteen castles - than any other, and boasts the longest coastline, which inspiredTurner to some of his greatest works of art. Despite its plethora of military sites, motorways, airports and - in Bluewater - the largest shopping mall in Europe, not for nothing has Kent long been known as the "Garden of England" for the glory of its countryside. Andreas Byrne has been inspired by his native county to produce a masterly view of Kent in all its moods. From the golden sands of Margate to the dramatic white cliffs at Dover, and from calm over the marshes to stormy winter skies over the shingle beaches of Dungeness. Inland, he captures the atmosphere of the countryside from the North Downs with their rolling chalk hills to the woodlands of theWeald, and in between evocative country churches in cornfields and iconic oast houses under wispy blue skies. Portrait of Kent is a visual feast and a worthy celebration of this most characterful corner of England.

Book Synopsis Lorenzo De' Medici and the Art of Magnificence by : F. W. Kent
Download or read book Lorenzo De' Medici and the Art of Magnificence written by F. W. Kent and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historian F.W. Kent offers a new look at Lorenzo's relationship to the arts, aesthetics, collecting, and building - especially in the context of his role as the political boss (maestro della bottega) of republican Florence and a leading player in Renaissance Italian diplomacy. Kent's approach reveals Lorenzo's activities as an art patron as far more extensive and creative than previously thought. Known as "the Magnificent," Lorenzo was broadly interested in the arts and supported efforts to beautify Florence and the many Medici lands and palaces. His expertise was well regarded by guildsmen and artists, who often turned to him for advice as well as for patronage.
Book Synopsis Kent Williams : Eklektikos by : Peter Frank
Download or read book Kent Williams : Eklektikos written by Peter Frank and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles-based artist Kent Williams (born 1962) has built up a formidable reputation as a leading contemporary figurative painter, alongside his thriving career as a creator of graphic novels. Williams' strong, gestural realism, combined with areas of arresting detail, exhibits abstract and neo-expressionistic sensibilities, as well as autobiographical elements: favorite models, friends, and the artist himself all play a role in the human story of his paintings. This new monograph presents recent paintings completed between 2007 and 2011. As critic Peter Frank explains in one of the catalogue essays, "Williams' unlikely, often dreamlike naturalism, faithful to appearances but not at all to reality--a kind of supernaturalism--relies on an entirely confident and convincing kind of figure painting, one that acknowledges but does not honor the verities of the body."
