Download or read book The Passionate Spectator written by John Yau and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Passionate Spectator collects essays, reviews, and art criticism by John Yau, an internationally lauded poet, critic, and curator. In this wide-ranging collection, Yau explores the intersection of art and poetry, dissolving boundaries between the artistic traditions and reimagining what it means to see and to write. Whether he is interpreting the poetic use of titles in Jessica Stockholder’s paintings, reviewing the collaborative book project between American poet Robert Creeley and German artist Georg Baselitz, or considering the significance of Frank O’Hara’s decision to have his portrait drawn wearing nothing but army boots, Yau is consistently daring, original, and contemporary. Yau’s diverse critical sensibilities permeate The Passionate Spectator as he moves seamlessly between the visual and literary arts. Highlights of this collection include an essay on the poet as art critic, a study of the relationship between Kevin Young’s poetry and the paintings of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and an imaginative piece in which Yau speculates about what Jorge Luis Borges would have created had he been a visual artist. In the title essay, Yau lays out the duty of the spectator—a duty shared by viewer, reader, critic, and artist: “it is up to us to experience art, to engage and believe in its power.” .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passionate Spectator His eyes were a bit pinched together, and his under-lip had lost its puckering string, but alto gether he passed for what any designing matron would have called a sweet fellow. Having a social consciousness that demanded a modernization of his mother's ideas, he dropped the Sam and named himself Uel even on visiting cards. Our auras bumped in the good old days when the autographs of Mary Johnston, the Roger Pryors, and the Hays gave tone to the register of the Sweet Brier Hotel. Life was very gay and waited upon.

Book excerpt: In Passionate Spectator, memoirist Peter Leroy and his wife, Albertine, are living in Manhattan-by the skin of their teeth. Casting about for a source of income, Peter purchases a book from a homeless street corner peddler, Creative Self-Promotion for Taxidermists, hoping he can adapt its techniques to promote his fledgling business: Memoirs While You Wait, a writing service designed to satisfy the contemporary compulsion for confession and self-revelation. "Middle age, mortality, and the meaning of life: all are examined with the lightest touch imaginable." Kirkus Reviews "Ebullient, canny, and entertaining." Booklist "As devious as a Möbius strip, turning in on itself, doubling back through events that have already occurred, and generally subverting our Newtonian world view." St. Petersburg Times "Nothing less than an assessment of each person's place in the universe . . . as a spectator who gives shape to life simply by watching and remembering." Nashville Scene

Casting about for a source of income, Peter purchases a book from a homeless peddler, "Creative Self-Promotion for Taxidermists," hoping he can adapt its techniques to promote his fledgling business: Memoirs While You Wait. That book opens into a beguiling journey from fiction to truth and back again, involving Peter, his childhood friend Matthew Barber (who is undergoing emergency heart surgery), and Peter's witty, urbane alter-ego, Bertram W. Beath--an erotic opportunist and "passionate spectator"of life's pageant.

Download or read book A Spectator Is an Artist Too written by Johan Idema and published by Bis Publishers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there anything more entertaining, inspiring and instructive than observing art? Yes, it is watching the people interacting with this art. This book may forever change your approach to art as it urges you to always consider both the work and the response. Because ultimately artists create, but we - the audience - complete the picture. A Spectator is an Artist Too is a visual essay about human behavior around art: what happens when we are confronted with something immensely beautiful, challenging, or puzzling? Art historians only study objects, but how these objects are received is also worthy of our attention. The book also captures how art museums are changing, as they draw increasingly diverse audiences. The way the museum visitors responds to art is becoming more casual and creative - but also more swift or even banal. This shift is increased by a whole new breed of Instagram-friendly "museums" worldwide, attracting experience-hungry visitors with immersive exhibitions defined by their Instagrammability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows the thrill of being transported by a film, but what is it that makes movie watching such a compelling emotional experience? In Moving Viewers, Carl Plantinga explores this question and the implications of its answer for aesthetics, the psychology of spectatorship, and the place of movies in culture. Through an in-depth discussion of mainstream Hollywood films, Plantinga investigates what he terms "the paradox of negative emotion" and the function of mainstream narratives as ritualistic fantasies. He describes the sensual nature of the movies and shows how film emotions are often elicited for rhetorical purposes. He uses cognitive science and philosophical aesthetics to demonstrate why cinema may deliver a similar emotional charge for diverse audiences.
