Book excerpt: Installed in France since the forty' s of the last century, Zao Wou-Ki has joined, like no other artist, the knowledge of Chinese painting and calligraphy with the individualist and subjective experience of the western abstract art. Impressed by Paul Klee' s paintings and impeled by Henry Michaux and Andre Malraux, two of the most active French intellectuals of the second post war, Zao Wou-Ki has kept deepening in his particular introspective journey for over five decades. All his work seems to restore an immense inner landscape, no exempt of dissonances and shadows. This book collects, for the first time, the clues of his creative approach through his writings and interviews and a significant selection of his works from his early works to date. 130 illustrations

Download or read book Paul Klee 1939 written by Paul Klee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year before he died, in what was one of the most difficult yet prolific periods of his life, Paul Klee created some of his most surprising and innovative works. In 1939, the year before his death from a long illness and against a backdrop of sociopolitical turmoil and the outbreak of World War II, Klee worked with a vigor and inventiveness that rivaled even the most productive periods of his youth. This book illuminates the artist’s response to his personal difficulties and the era’s broader realities through imagery that is tirelessly inventive—by turns political, solemn, playful, humorous, and poetic. The works featured testify to Klee’s restless drive to experiment with form and material. His use of adhesive, grease, oil, chalk, and watercolor, among other media, resulted in surfaces that are not only visually striking, but also highly tactile and original. Not unlike a diary, the drawings are often meditative reflections on the pains and pleasures of life—their titles, among them Monsters in readiness and Struggles with himself, signal Klee’s frame of mind. Renowned art historian Dawn Ades looks at this group of paintings and drawings in the context of their time and as indicative of a pivotal moment in art history. Moved by this late period of Klee’s oeuvre, American artist Richard Tuttle responds to specific works in the form of dialogical poems. This stunning publication highlights the novelty and ingenuity of Klee’s late works, which deeply affected the generation of artists—including Anni Albers, Jean Dubuffet, Mark Tobey, and Zao Wou-Ki—that emerged after World War II and continues to captivate artists and viewers alike today

Download or read book New York, New York, New York written by Thomas Dyja and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book A lively, immersive history by an award-winning urbanist of New York City’s transformation, and the lessons it offers for the city’s future. Dangerous, filthy, and falling apart, garbage piled on its streets and entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble; New York’s terrifying, if liberating, state of nature in 1978 also made it the capital of American culture. Over the next thirty-plus years, though, it became a different place—kinder and meaner, richer and poorer, more like America and less like what it had always been. New York, New York, New York, Thomas Dyja’s sweeping account of this metamorphosis, shows it wasn’t the work of a single policy, mastermind, or economic theory, nor was it a morality tale of gentrification or crime. Instead, three New Yorks evolved in turn. After brutal retrenchment came the dazzling Koch Renaissance and the Dinkins years that left the city’s liberal traditions battered but laid the foundation for the safe streets and dotcom excess of Giuliani’s Reformation in the ‘90s. Then the planes hit on 9/11. The shaky city handed itself over to Bloomberg who merged City Hall into his personal empire, launching its Reimagination. From Hip Hop crews to Wall Street bankers, D.V. to Jay-Z, Dyja weaves New Yorkers famous, infamous, and unknown—Yuppies, hipsters, tech nerds, and artists; community organizers and the immigrants who made this a truly global place—into a narrative of a city creating ways of life that would ultimately change cities everywhere. With great success, though, came grave mistakes. The urbanism that reclaimed public space became a means of control, the police who made streets safe became an occupying army, technology went from a means to the end. Now, as anxiety fills New Yorker’s hearts and empties its public spaces, it’s clear that what brought the city back—proximity, density, and human exchange—are what sent Covid-19 burning through its streets, and the price of order has come due. A fourth evolution is happening and we must understand that the greatest challenge ahead is the one New York failed in the first three: The cures must not be worse than the disease. Exhaustively researched, passionately told, New York, New York, New York is a colorful, inspiring guide to not just rebuilding but reimagining a great city.

Download or read book Monet: Water Lilies written by Jean-Dominique Rey and published by Flammarion. This book was released on 2008-09-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monet, the father of French impressionist painting, devoted twenty-five years to a series of paintings of the water lilies that floated in the pond of his lavish garden in Giverny. This volume is dedicated to those paintings, and opens with a biography of Monet that links the artist’s childhood passion for nature and for drawing to his later fascination with light. Monet’s experiments with how to best capture light and its effect on the sky and on water at different times of the day include paintings such as Impression, Sunrise (1872), which inspired the name of the impressionist movement. A critical text analyzes Monet’s ingenuity, audacity, and modernity, as well as his influence on other artists, from Zao Wou-ki to music to Shirley Goldfarb. This definitive catalog is completed by 210 color reproductions of the water lily paintings with annotated captions, period shots of Giverny by photographers such as Cartier-Bresson, and rare documents including Monet’s personal letters to his optometrist regarding his failing eyesight, which has been linked to his development of the impressionist style. The large-format volume features an eight-page gatefold of the murals at the Orangerie in Paris, and it serves as both an accessible introductory work and a complete reference guide to an important component in the history of art.

Download or read book Art of Another Kind written by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and published by Guggenheim Museum. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pioneering artists of the post-World War II era embraced artistic freedom and gesture-based styles, nontraditional materials and countercultural references. French art critic Michel Tapié even declared the existence of "un art autre" (art of another kind)--an art that entailed a radical break with all traditional notions of order and composition, in a movement toward something wholly "other." This catalogue accompanies the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum exhibition Art of Another Kind: International Abstraction and the Guggenheim, 1949-1960, which especially highlights works that entered into the collection during the tenure of then-director James Johnson Sweeney. Featuring nearly 100 works by Carla Accardi, Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, Martin Barré, Harry Bertoia, Louise Bourgeois, Alberto Burri, Sam Francis, Grace Hartigan, Asger Jorn, Yves Klein, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Conrad Marca-Relli, Kenzo Okada, Jorge Oteiza, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, Pierre Soulages, Clyfford Still, Antoni Tàpies, Jean Tinguely, Cy Twombly, Takeo Yamaguchi and Zao Wou-Ki, among others, this collection-based exhibition and publication explore the affinities and differences between artists working continents apart, in a period of great transition and rapid creative development. The fully illustrated exhibition catalogue includes essays by Tracey Bashkoff, Megan M. Fontanella and Joan Marter; an illustrated chronology; and short biographies of the artists.

Download or read book Zao Wou-Ki written by Yann Hendgen and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared in cooperation with the artist’s estate, Zao Wou-Ki: 1935–2010 features more than three hundred works and is the most complete monograph available on the artist. Born in Beijing, raised in Shanghai, Zao Wou-Ki (1920–2013) rose to prominence in his adopted France, and was one of the world’s most celebrated artists at the time of his death. Trained in both Western and Chinese painting, Zao’s work bridged both. He became a master when he transcended both vocabularies. “I wanted to paint differently,” Zao Wou-Ki wrote about leaving China in 1948, and shortly after he landed in Paris, his work took on Western influences: a nude and a portrait of his wife, both 1949, recall Matisse in their subjects, loose style, and use of pattern. In 1951, Zao saw Paul Klee and began creating city scenes and landscapes with a similarly inky, slightly fantastical hand. The Western artists, he said, led him back to China, a statement evidenced in the ideograms and Shang dynasty motifs in his 1956 Ste`le pour un ami (Stela for a friend). As Zao moved beyond the West for inspiration, he gradually moved beyond China, too. In doing so, he found his own style. His first abstract painting, Vent (Wind), from 1954, features invented signs and evokes the movement of air without directly representing it. His work continued to evolve, with his experimentation with india ink; his exploration of enormous, multi-panel paintings; his use of bright colors that recall J.M.W. Turner or Franz Kline. His creative maturity lasted for more than half a century, expressed in pictures that marry the lyricism of classical Chinese painting and the expressive force of European modernism, and yet are entirely individual. Prepared in cooperation with the artist’s estate, Zao Wou-Ki: 1935–2010 features more than three hundred works and is the most complete monograph available on the artist. It highlights his great abstract oil paintings, while also giving due attention to the other facets of his oeuvre, including his student work, his first Matisse- and Klee-influenced canvases, his lithographs and travel notebooks, and his work in watercolors and brush painting. In addition to a penetrating essay by prominent statesman, intellectual, and friend of the artist Dominique de Villepin, the book includes detailed notes on key works, a selective bibliography, a critical anthology, and an illustrated chronology of Zao’s life.
