Book excerpt: Considerata dalla critica una delle più grandi pittrici del XX secolo, Toko Shinoda è emersa all'interno della movimentata scena artistica newyorkese tra gli anni '60 e '70, quando fu scoperta dalla famosa commerciante d'arte Betty Parsons. Da quel momento in poi i suoi quadri sono stati esposti accanto a quelli di artisti del calibro di Mark Rothko e Jackson Pollock. Nata nel 1913, dall'età di sei anni fu iniziata alla calligrafia, disciplina che l'ha sempre portata a preferire le tonalità del grigio e del nero su ampi spazi bianchi. A scuola è sempre stata un'alunna impaziente e, data la sua esuberante personalità, si stancò ben presto del rigido insegnamento della calligrafia tradizionale cominciando a dedicarsi all'improvvisazione regolata però da una ferrea auto-disciplina. "Divenni sempre più interessata a come i caratteri si erano sviluppati nel tempo piuttosto che a come venivano scritti". Le influenze della tradizione giapponese nelle sue opere restano evidenti particolarmente nell'uso del sumi (l'inchiostro tipico giapponese) e degli antichi inchiostri indiani dalle sfumature di rosso cinabro che donano ai suoi caratteri delle atmosfere suggestive ma decise. I suoi lavori sofisticati e intellettuali, che esprimono perfettamente il gusto giapponese per l'asimmetria, pongono una forte attenzione al contrasto e all'equilibrio dei vari elementi della composizione. Dopo il suo improvviso seppur tardivo successo negli Stati Uniti, la Shinoda si è "ritirata" dal panorama artistico internazionale per tornare in Giappone, dove ha continuato ad accrescere la sua fama con alcuni sbalorditivi murales ed i dipinti su pannelli scorrevoli per il tempio Zojoji a Tokyo. Toko Shinoda ha ricevuto molte ed importanti commissioni ed ha esposto in tutto il mondo. Nel 2003, per il suo novantesimo compleanno, le è stata dedicata una retrospettiva al museo Hara di Tokyo intitolata "Variazioni di Vermiglio", in riferimento all'uso che fa di questa tonalità d'inchiostro cinese nelle sue opere. Nonostante l'apparenza fragile ed elegante della sua figura minuta, Toko Shinoda possiede una sorprendente forza interiore. A 95 anni non ha perso neppure un briciolo della sua freschezza giovanile, della sua energia e della sua acuta sensibilità, qualità senza le quali non sarebbe in grado di creare dei lavori così dinamici e pieni di vita. Il catalogo è a cura della Fondazione Italia Giappone con saggi di: Umberto Vattani, Presidente della Fondazione; Kazufumi Takada, Direttore Istituto Giapponese di Cultura di Roma; Davide Rampello, Presidente Triennale di Milano; Concetta Branciamore, Responsabile Collezione d'Arte Contemporanea al Ministero Affari Esteri.
Download or read book Margins of Excess written by Max Pinckers and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ?Margins of Excess? the notion of how personal imagination conflicts with generally accepted beliefs is expressed through the narratives of six individuals. Every one of them momentarily received nationwide attention in the US press because of their attempts to realize a dream or passion, but were presented as frauds or deceivers by the mass media?s apparent incapacity to deal with idiosyncratic versions of reality.0The current era of ?post-truth?, in which truths, half-truths, lies, fiction or entertainment are easily interchanged, has produced a culture of ?hyper-individual truths?, demanding a new approach to identify the underlying narratives that structure our perception of reality in a world where there is no longer a generally accepted frame of realism. 0Embedding the stories of the six main protagonists into a clustering tale of cloned military dogs, religious apparitions, suspect vehicles, fake terrorist plots, accidental bombings and fictional presidents, this book follows an associative logic akin to the indiscriminate way a paranoid mind connects unrelated events, or the hysteria of the 24-second news cycle.
Download or read book Collinson & Lock written by Clive Edwards and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian furnishers and decorators Collinson & Lock were a model of the art furniture business of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This book is the first wide-ranging study of this once highly important company. It will give insights into the workings and productions of a London furnishing business in the period. It also provides information on a wide variety of topics including furniture design developments, interior design styles, business practices, working practices and techniques, and the firm’s customers and competitors. Clive Edwards first considers the structure of the London ‘art furniture’ trade and its development to locate the firm in its community. He then traces the growth of the firm’s business, its involvement with important international exhibitions, the designers they worked with, and the furniture and interiors they produced. This important book then outlines and discusses Collinson & Lock’s creations ranging from seminal pieces that were designed for an exclusive clientele, to those displayed at national and international exhibitions between 1871 and 1900, through to batch produced objects that still maintained the quality and design that the firm was famous for. The involvement of the firm with both public and private interior decoration commissions is also examined through case studies, including those in the Anglo-Japanese, Queen Anne, Old English, and Renaissance styles used in the later Victorian period. Drawing on the author's extensive knowledge of nineteenth-century furniture and interiors, this book meets a need for a fully researched and illustrated reference work on this famous firm. If you have an interest in the history of furniture and interior design, if you are involved with furniture collections either on a private basis or professionally, or you simply have an interest in the decorative arts and culture of the period, this book should be on your shelves.
