Beyond Memory
Author: Diane Neumaier
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 9780813534541
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Photography possesses a powerful ability to bear witness, aid remembrance, shape, and even alter recollection. In Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-Related Works of Art, the general editor, Diane Neumaier, and twenty-three contributors offer a rigorous examination of the medium's role in late Soviet unofficial art. Focusing on the period between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, they explore artists' unusually inventive and resourceful uses of photography within a highly developed Soviet dissident culture. During this time, lack of high-quality photographic materials, complimented by tremendous creative impulses, prompted artists to explore experimental photo-processes such as camera and darkroom manipulations, photomontage, and hand-coloring. Photography also took on a provocative array of forms including photo installation, artist-made samizdat (self-published) books, photo-realist painting, and many other surprising applications of the flexible medium. Beyond Memory shows how innovative conceptual moves and approaches to form and content-echoes of Soviet society's coded communication and a Russian sense of absurdity-were common in the Soviet cultural underground. Collectively, the works in this anthology demonstrate how late-Soviet artists employed irony and invention to make positive use of difficult circumstances. In the process, the volume illuminates the multiple characters of photography itself and highlights the leading role that the medium has come to play in the international art world today. Beyond Memory stands on its own as a rigorous examination of photography's place in late Soviet unofficial art, while also serving as a supplement to the traveling exhibition of the same title.

Faking it
Author: Mia Fineman
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588394735
Category : Exhibitions
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
"It is a long-held truism that 'the camera does not lie'. Yet, as Mia Fineman argues in this illuminating volume, that statement contains its own share of untruth. While modern technological innovations, such as Adobe's Photoshop software, have accustomed viewers to more obvious levels of image manipulation, the practice of "doctoring" photographs has in fact existed since the medium was invented. In "Faking It", Fineman demonstrates that today's digitally manipulated images are part of a continuum that begins with the earliest years of photography, encompassing methods as diverse as overpainting, multiple exposure, negative retouching, combination printing, and photomontage. Among the book's revelations are previously unknown and never before published images that document the acts of manipulation behind two canonical works of modern photography: one blatantly fantastical (Yves Klein's "Leap into the Void" of 1960); the other a purportedly unadulterated record of a real place in time (Paul Strand's "City Hall Park" of 1915). Featuring 160 captivating pictures created between the 1840s and 1990s in the service of art, politics, news, entertainment, and commerce, "Faking It" provides an essential counterhistory of photography as an inspired blend of fabricated truths and artful falsehoods."--Publisher's website.

Chiara Dynys
Author: Giorgio Verzotti
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788857241081
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Chiara Dynys's oeuvre in a major monograph in limited edition included in a sculpture by the artist.This volume, edited by Giorgio Verzotti, covers the oeuvre of the artist with previously unpublished essays on the notion of duality. All of the most important production of Chiara Dynys is told through the photos of still lifes and large installations in public spaces where she has been on view this past year: from the Museo Correr in Venice to MACRO in Rome and the historic Villa Reale in Monza.The book (in Italian-English bilingual edition) is a limited special edition of 500 copies in a plexiglas slipcase made by the artist herself. The slipcase evokes the series Look at You, one of her most famous, and was conceived to exist independently from the volume as an actual sculpture: an exclusive plexiglas case with reflective surface and various colours that, thanks to the silvering that conceals a monochrome, deceives the gaze of the viewer.Chiara Dynys was born in Mantua and works in Milan. Right from the start of her practice in the early 1990s, she has worked with two main concepts, both stemming from a single approach to reality: identifying in the world and in forms the presence and sense of anomaly, of variation, of the "threshold" that allows the mind to shift from human reality to an almost metaphysical stage.In order to do so, she uses seemingly eclectic materials, which range from light to glass, mirrors and ceramic, welding, textiles, video and photography. Chiara Dynys has taken part in numerous solo and group shows in important public and private museums and cultural institutions in Italy and abroad.

From Russia
Author: Museum Kunst Palast (Düsseldorf, Germany)
Publisher: Royal Academy Books
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The rich tradition of French painting was an important influence on Russian art from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1920s, a period that saw the rise of many of the most important movements in modern art. A magnificent visual record of an unprecedented event, this book, the catalogue of an ambitious exhibition of master paintings from the four greatest museums of Russia, examines the interaction of these two great cultures. Drawing on the collections of the State Russian Museum and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Tretyakov Gallery and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the book presents outstanding examples of Salon painting, Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism in France, and related movements in Russia, among them The Wanderers, Constructivism, and Suprematism. Paintings by Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Matisse are reproduced, along with works by Kandinsky, Tatlin, and Malevich. Key episodes in the story of this fascinating exchange include the vital role played by the great Russian collectors Ivan Morosov and Sergei Shchukin, whose preeminent collections of French art were an inspiration to the Russian avant-garde; the ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev's promotion of Russian art in France in 1906; and Henri Matisse's visit to Russia in 1911.
