Disrupted Realism
Author: John Seed
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing
ISBN: 9780764358012
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Disrupted Realism is the first book to survey the works of contemporary painters who are challenging and reshaping the tradition of Realism. Helping art lovers, collectors, and artists approach and understand this compelling new phenomenon, it includes the works of 38 artists whose paintings respond to the subjectivity and disruptions of modern experience. Widely published author and blogger John Seed, who believes that we are "the most distracted society in the history of the world," has selected artists he sees as visionaries in this developing movement. The artists' impulses toward disruption are as individual as the artists themselves, but all share the need to include perception and emotion in their artistic process. Six sections lay out and analyze common themes: "Toward Abstraction," "Disrupted Bodies," "Emotions and Identities," "Myths and Visions," "Patterns, Planes, and Formations," and "Between Painting and Photography." Interviews with each artist offer additional insight into some of the most incisive and relevant painting being created today.

History, Disrupted
Author: Jason Steinhauer
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030851176
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The Internet has changed the past. Social media, Wikipedia, mobile networks, and the viral and visual nature of the Web have inundated the public sphere with historical information and misinformation, changing what we know about our history and History as a discipline. This is the first book to chronicle how and why it matters. Why does History matter at all? What role do history and the past play in our democracy? Our economy? Our understanding of ourselves? How do questions of history intersect with today’s most pressing debates about technology; the role of the media; journalism; tribalism; education; identity politics; the future of government, civilization, and the planet? At the start of a new decade, in the midst of growing political division around the world, this information is critical to an engaged citizenry. As we collectively grapple with the effects of technology and its capacity to destabilize our societies, scholars, educators and the general public should be aware of how the Web and social media shape what we know about ourselves - and crucially, about our past.

Mine Okubo was one of 110,000 people of Japanese descent--nearly two-thirds of them American citizens -- who were rounded up into "protective custody" shortly after Pearl Harbor. Citizen 13660, her memoir of life in relocation centers in California and Utah, was first published in 1946, then reissued by University of Washington Press in 1983 with a new Preface by the author. With 197 pen-and-ink illustrations, and poignantly written text, the book has been a perennial bestseller, and is used in college and university courses across the country. "[Mine Okubo] took her months of life in the concentration camp and made it the material for this amusing, heart-breaking book. . . . The moral is never expressed, but the wry pictures and the scanty words make the reader laugh -- and if he is an American too -- blush." -- Pearl Buck Read more about Mine Okubo in the 2008 UW Press book, Mine Okubo: Following Her Own Road, edited by Greg Robinson and Elena Tajima Creef. http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/search/books/ROBMIN.html

My Art World
Author: John Seed

ISBN: 9781095997925
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
As a young man, art writer John Seed had a knack for meeting extraordinary people. Mentored by Bay Area artist Nathan Oliveira and introduced to modern art by collectors Hunk and Moo Anderson, Seed was perfectly positioned to observe the explosive growth of the art world in the early 1980s. He had his portrait done by Jean-Michel Basquiat, met Richard Dienbenkorn, worked for an intense young art dealer named Larry Gagosian, got advice from painter Robert De Niro Sr. and became a founding staff member of MOCA in Los Angeles. My Art World includes Seed's vivid recollections-including essays on Joan Brown, Sam Francis and Frank Lobdell- as well as samples of his later essays for the HuffingtonPost. Once called an "Art World Anthony Bourdain" John Seed's writings are revealing, readable and honest. My Art World brings together writings that were previously published in magazines, in art catalogs, on the author's personal website, on the HuffingtonPost and on Hyperallergic.com.
