Forms of feeling: The human body in distress Largely self-taught as an artist, Francis Bacon (1909 1992)developed a unique ability to transform interior and unconscious impulses into figurative forms and intensely claustrophobic compositions.Emerging into notoriety in the period following World War II, Bacon took the human body as his nominal subject, but a subjectravaged, distorted, and dismemberedso as to writhe and wail withintense emotional content.With flailing limbs, hollow voids, and tumurous growths, hisgripping, often grotesque, portraitsare as much reflections on the trials and the...

Memory Work: Anne Truitt and Sculpture
ISBN: 9780520286610 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Memory Work demonstrates the evolution of the pioneering minimalist sculptor Anne Truitt. An artist determined to make her way through a new aesthetic in the 1960s, Truitt was tireless in her pursuit of a strong cultural voice. At the heart of her practice was the key theme of memory, which enabled her not only to express personal experience but also to address how perception was changing for a contemporary viewership. She gravitated toward the idea that an object in one's focus could unleash a powerful return to the past through memory, which in turn brings a fresh, even critical,...

Barnstorming the Prairies: How Aerial Vision Shaped the Midwest
ISBN: 9780816677511 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To Midwesterners tucked into small towns or farms early in the twentieth century, the landscape of the American heartland reached the horizon and then imagination had to provide what lay beyond. But when aviation took off and scenes of the Midwest were no longer earthbound, the Midwestern landscape was transformed and with it, Jason Weems suggests in this book, the very idea of the Midwest itself. "Barnstorming the Prairies "offers a panoramic vista of the transformative nature and power of the aerial vision that remade the Midwest in the wake of the airplane. This new perspective from...

Creating the Future: Art & Los Angeles in the 1970s
ISBN: 9781619025776 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conceived as a challenge to long-standing conventional wisdom, Creating the Future is a work of social history/cultural criticism that examines the premise that the progress of art in Los Angeles ceased during the 1970s--after the decline of the Ferus Gallery, the scattering of its stable of artists (Robert Irwin, Ed Kienholz, Ed Moses, Ed Rusha and others), and the economic struggles throughout the decade--and didn't resume until sometime around 1984 when Mark Tansey, Alison Saar, Judy Fiskin, Carrie Mae Weems, David Salle, Manuel Ocampo, among others became stars in an exploding art market....

Memorials to Shattered Myths: Vietnam to 9/11
ISBN: 9780190248390 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Memorials to Shattered Myths: Vietnam to 9/11 traces the evolution and consequences of a new hybrid paradigm, which grants a heroic status to victims of national tragedies, and by extension to their families, thereby creating a class of privileged participants in the permanent memorial process. Harriet F. Senie suggests that instead the victims' families be able to determine the nature of an interim memorial, one that addresses their needs in the critical time between the murder of their loved ones and the completion of the permanent memorial. She also observes that the memorials...

Whistler and the World: The Lunder Collection of James McNeill Whistler
ISBN: 9780972848411 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his -Ten O'Clock Lecture- in 1885, American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) presented himself as an artist set apart from the public, bearing no relation to the historical moment in which he lived. However, the myth of artistic independence that Whistler developed was but one part of a complex and highly significant relationship he had with the world around him. As a painter, printmaker, designer, traveler and performer, Whistler engaged with a variety of places, people and ideas that stretched from the United States to London, Venice and Japan.

ISBN: 9781611688924 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Portraits. We know what they are, but why do we make them? Americans have been celebrating themselves in portraits since the arrival of the first itinerant portrait painters to the colonies. They created images to commemorate loved ones, glorify the famous, establish our national myths, and honor our shared heroes. Whether painting in oil, carving in stone, casting in bronze, capturing on film, or calculating in binary code, we spend considerable time creating, contemplating, and collecting our likenesses. In this sumptuously illustrated book, Richard H. Saunders explores our collective...

An extraordinarily prolific artist, Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) produced some 4,000 paintings in his lifetime, not including a prodigious quantity of commissioned editorial, commercial, and advertising work.

Red Tape, a New Work by Les Levine, 1970: To Engage the University in a Useless Task Which Will Allow It to Expose a Working Model of Its System
ISBN: 9781941332252 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the summer of 1970, the artist Les Levine arrived at the University of Toronto to take part in the installation of site-specific work on the quadrangle in front of the University's Hart House. The intended piece--construction materials hung from high-tension rope between campus buildings--was quickly stymied as Levine encountered a series of bureaucratic impediments on the part of the University staff. What ensued was played into the conceptual conceit the artist had envisioned for the project. By collating the correspondence, telephone transcripts, and visual documentation of the eventual...

Fugitive Testimony: On the Visual Logic of Slave Narratives
ISBN: 9780823272891 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fugitive Testimony traces the long arc of the African American slave narrative from the eighteenth century to the present in order to rethink the epistemological limits of the form and to theorize the complicated interplay between the visual and the literary throughout its history. Gathering an archive of ante- and postbellum literary slave narratives as well as contemporary visual art, Janet Neary brings visual and performance theory to bear on the genre's central problematic: that the ex-slave narrator must be both object and subject of his or her own testimony. Taking works by...

The Arctic, part of the international North that is pivotal to the world because of climate change, is no longer a frontier of the past. The same interest in the North that preoccupied artists and explorers of the Romantic era has returned greater than ever, but rather than merely depicting its grandeur, today's artists, scientists, and explorers question the future of the landscape. Up Here connects art, science, and environment at a time when unprecedented climate change requires unprecedented... The North is a complex place that is beautiful, moody, and anything but untouched.
