Book Synopsis The Most Arrogant Man in France by : Petra ten-Doesschate Chu
Download or read book The Most Arrogant Man in France written by Petra ten-Doesschate Chu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern artist strives to be independent of the public's taste--and yet depends on the public for a living. Petra Chu argues that the French Realist Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) understood this dilemma perhaps better than any painter before him. In The Most Arrogant Man in France, the first comprehensive reinterpretation of Courbet in a generation, Chu tells the fascinating story of how, in the initial age of mass media and popular high art, this important artist managed to achieve an unprecedented measure of artistic and financial independence by promoting his work and himself through the popular press. The Courbet who emerges in Chu's account is a sophisticated artist and entrepreneur who understood that the modern artist must sell--and not only make--his art. Responding to this reality, Courbet found new ways to "package," exhibit, and publicize his work and himself. Chu shows that Courbet was one of the first artists to recognize and take advantage of the publicity potential of newspapers, using them to create acceptance of his work and to spread an image of himself as a radical outsider. Courbet introduced the independent show by displaying his art in popular venues outside the Salon, and he courted new audiences, including women. And for a time Courbet succeeded, achieving a rare freedom for a nineteenth-century French artist. If his strategy eventually backfired and he was forced into exile, his pioneering vision of the artist's career in the modern world nevertheless makes him an intriguing forerunner to all later media-savvy artists.
Book Synopsis The Arrogant Years by : Lucette Lagnado
Download or read book The Arrogant Years written by Lucette Lagnado and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the award-winning The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit—hailed by the New York Times book review as a “crushing, brilliant book”—returns with this, the extraordinary follow-up memoir In The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, Lucette Lagnado offered a heartbreaking portrait of her father, Leon, a successful Cairo boulevardier who was forced to take flight with his family during the rise of the Nasser dictatorship, and of her family’s struggle to rebuild a new life in a new land. In this much-anticipated new memoir, Lagnado tells the story of her mother, Edith, coming of age in a magical old Cairo of dusty alleyways and grand villas inhabited by pashas and their wives. Then Lagnado revisits her own early years in America—first, as a schoolgirl in Brooklyn’s immigrant enclaves, where she dreams of becoming the fearless Mrs. Emma Peel of The Avengers, and later, as an “avenging” reporter for some of America’s most prestigious newspapers. A stranger growing up in a strange land, when she turns sixteen Lagnado’s adolescence is further complicated by cancer. Its devastating consequences would rob her of her “arrogant years”—the years defined by an overwhelming sense of possibility, invincibility, and confidence. Lagnado looks to the women sequestered behind the wooden screen at her childhood synagogue, to the young coeds at Vassar and Columbia in the 1970s, to her own mother and the women of their past in Cairo, and reflects on their stories as she struggles to make sense of her own choices.

Book Synopsis Feel Like an Artist The Artist's Way. by : Francis Rubbra
Download or read book Feel Like an Artist The Artist's Way. written by Francis Rubbra and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a clear and alternative route to releasing one's creativity, that is, by embracing absurdity, rejecting the practical approach and refusing didactic platitudes. Feel like an artist the artist's way by Francis Rubbra is a collection of over 1001 hard-hitting and thought-provoking, often amusing, never-published-before, doses of original raw satirical art aphorism sourced from the art school discourse. The author occasionally resorts to sentence dichotomy, phrasing that from a Dada perspective makes sense and nonsense simultaneously. Picasso said that the enemy of art was good sense, well this book is a companion and a safe house for artists of all shapes and sizes, the mad ones, the thin ones and the extremely annoying ones, they are all invited. An inspirational quotes book with surrealist undertones that explores the nuances of a life lived at arts behest. Ever wondered where to learn the art school secrets? Feel Like an Artist the artist's way brims full of them. A refreshingly new take on books typically written in the self-help genre. A book that entertains without falling into a pit of sentimentality and cliché. The author uses satire for serious ends as he rampages through the art school discourse making bold pronouncements on art along the way. Essential reading for artists, Feel Like an Artist the artist's way also over-flows with insightful pearls of sound practical art advice and humorous slights at the artist's expense. A serious book, its deliberations cut through the often-unpassable sludge of art academia. A book that gives you the feeling it's trying to tell you something and which will leave the reader feeling uplifted and inspired and certainly not indifferent.

In Becoming Andy Warhol, New York Times bestselling writer Nick Bertozzi and artist Pierce Hargan showcase the moment when, by stubborn force of personality and sheer burgeoning talent, Warhol went up against the creative establishment and emerged to become one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.
