Download or read book Tony Cragg written by Klaus-D. Pohl and published by Hirmer Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Cragg (*1949) is one of the most important international sculptors of the present day. The British artist, who lives in Wuppertal, was Rector of the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf until 2013 and has won many awards. From the beginning his creative work has found inspiration in Nature as a model. Cragg's large - format sculptures of metal, marble, wood and glass are derived from organic natural shapes and present a fascinating aesthetic. In the foreground is the material as the sculpture's strongest means of expressi on. In the time - consuming development processes during which the work is formed and the material and surface are treated, Cragg's sculptures literally "grow" into the space, so that they have an almost intrinsic character or with their convolutions and pro tuberances evoke endlessly growing structures. This volume documents new works as well as specimens from the sculptor's collection of fossils and minerals for the first time - a remarkable première

Download or read book Tony Cragg written by Nicholas Logsdail and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This career-spanning publication focuses on the history of Tony Cragg's 'Stack' works that began in the late 1960s, when, as a student, he began piling up miscellaneous and recycled detritus from the studio in order to create large rectilinear sculptures that refuted the usual clean lines of Minimalism. The artist has variously stacked, gathered and layered ever since, deploying various acts of stratification, compilation, accrual and accumulation in his work. The book contains a major essay by Dr. Jon Wood, entitled "Strata, structures, stories: Stacking in Cragg's sculpture" that spans over five decades of making and reveals what continues to set him apart from other sculptors of his time.

Download or read book Tony Cragg written by Tony Cragg and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally renowned British sculptor Tony Cragg (1949) is presented here through a selection of his latest sculptures as well as an overview of his graphic works, showing his artistic path and creative process from the initial idea to the final object. Tony Cragg has set his relations between the natural and the artificial. In his work, there is a momentum swinging towards the invisible and the visible. Spirituality fails to be overlapped by the medium of idealistic support. The materials this creator uses could be a path against himself from the outset. Each one of them recycles, transforms, collides and produces changes to adapt to later on, just like the planet's tectonic forces - in orders that coexist with its instability. The artist proclaims the function of the imagination beyond the mutilation of words, wishing to find a vocabulary for the emotions and effects that breaks ties with positivism and favours our way of grasping the universe.

Book Synopsis Medardo Rosso: Sight Unseen and His Encounters with London by : Oona Doyle
Download or read book Medardo Rosso: Sight Unseen and His Encounters with London written by Oona Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosso was a revolutionary sculptor who subverted traditional modeling and casting methods to animate the surfaces of his sculptures. He went against prevailing monumental and heroic tendencies by depicting vulnerable subjects such the poor, children and the elderly. Some of his works, like Enfant au sein (late 1889?90), on view at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, border on abstraction. He adopted a performative approach to sculpture by casting his bronzes in public in a theatrical mise-en-scène, and he invented unique exhibition strategies by installing his work alongside those of other artists.00Exhibition: Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery, Ely House, London, UK (23.11.2017-10.02.2018).
Book Synopsis Anthony Cragg. Vol. III: Sculpture 1986-2000 by : Cragg Foundation
Download or read book Anthony Cragg. Vol. III: Sculpture 1986-2000 written by Cragg Foundation and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1986 and 2000, Anthony Cragg's sculptural oeuvre underwent a significant transition. The artist moved from making sculptures using found materials and objects to a more studio-based practice in which the found materials themselves became the subject and content of his sculptures. This publication begins where the previous volume, Sculpture 1969-1985, left off. It serves as a guide, aiming to facilitate a better understanding not only of the chronological sequencing of Cragg's works, but also of the primary concerns that have influenced them over time. Cragg's sculptures of this period attracted considerable critical interest. Some of the most prominent art critics of the day engaged with Cragg's oeuvre, and a number of their essays have been reprinted here, offering fresh insights into the sculptor's work.

The show will be on for a full year.
Download or read book Art and the Home written by Imogen Racz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our homes contain us, but they are also within us. They can represent places to be ourselves, to recollect childhood memories, or to withdraw into adult spaces of intimacy; they can be sites for developing rituals, family relationships, and acting out cultural expectations. Like the personal, social, and cultural elements out of which they are constructed, homes can be not only comforting, but threatening too. The home is a rich theme running through post-war western art, and it continues to engage contemporary artists today - yet it has been the subject of relatively little critical writing. Art and the Home: Comfort, Alienation and the Everyday is the first single-authored, up-to-date book on the subject. Imogen Racz provides a theme-led discussion about how the physical experience of the dwelling space and the psychological complexities of the domestic are manifested in art, focusing mainly on sculpture, installation and object-based practice; discussing the work and ideas of artists as diverse as Louise Bourgeois, Gordon Matta-Clark, George Segal and Cornelia Parker within their artistic and cultural contexts
