Bill Anthes argues for recognizing the...

Why does the market have such power, and how does it dictate the sort of art we are allowed to see?

ISBN: 9780932900999 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Postmodern in the best sense, Conniff's pictures address the timeless human need to see beauty in the world that shapes our lives. A resident of...

How do the images hanging on the walls of our homes arrive there? In placing contemporary art in the context of the 'ordinary' home, this book embarks on the contentious topic of whether 'high' art impacts...

Robert Motherwell: With Pen and Brush
ISBN: 9781861891419 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Robert Motherwell was by far the most intellectual and articulate of the Abstract Expressionists. This book, written by a friend of the artist, the well-known writer and critic Mary Ann Caws, examines Motherwell's way of thinking and writing in relation to his paintings. The artist, American by birth, yet simultaneously American and European in his way of visualizing and vocalizing artistic and philosophical traditions, always worked between these two poles, and it is this tension that imbues his oeuvre with its particular intensity.
