Rothko to Richter
Author: Kelly Baum
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780943012513
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
This beautifully illustrated volume spans the years 1950 to 1990, one of the most fertile periods in the history of abstraction. These four decades witnessed intense debates about the ambitions and prerogatives of abstract painting. At the forefront of such conversations were the artists featured in Rothko to Richter. Associated with movements as diverse as Expressionism, Color Field, and Minimalism, each artist sought to expand the possibilities of abstraction, particularly at the level of technique. They experimented liberally with process, pioneering new ways to apply paint that alternately accentuated or suppressed traces of the artist's touch. Rothko to Richter features twenty-seven paintings selected from an extraordinary private collection. Created by artists as diverse as Karel Appel, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Jack Goldstein, Hans Hofmann, Morris Louis, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, and Frank Stella, the works communicate the changing priorities of abstract art after World War II. Looking closely at innovations in mark-making, the catalogue explores the fate of the terms "abstraction" and "expressionism" as well as the impact of mass media, technology, and photomechanical reproduction on abstract painting. The book's critical analyses are complemented by a poetic meditation on color, sea, and sky that addresses abstraction as a mode of expression.

Writing and Seeing
Author: Rui Manuel G. de Carvalho Homem
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042016981
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
The essays in this volume are informed by a variety of theoretical assumptions and of critical methodologies, but they all share an interest in the intersections of word and image in a variety of media. This unifying rationale secures the present collection's central position in the current critical context, defined as it predominantly is by ways of reading that are based on a relational nexus. The intertextual, the intermedial, the intersemiotic are indeed foregrounded and combined in these essays, conceptually as much as in the critical practices favoured by the various contributions. Studies of literature in its relation to pictorial genres enjoy a relative prominence in the volume - but the range of media and of approaches considered is broad enough to include photography, film, video, television, comic strips, animated film, public art, material culture. The backgrounds of contributors are likewise diverse - culturally, academically, linguistically. The volume combines contributions by prominent scholars and critics with essays by younger scholars, from a variety of backgrounds. The resulting plurality of perspective is indeed a source of new insights into the relations between writing and seeing, and it contributes to making this collection an exciting new contribution to word and image studies.

The Truth Is Always Grey
Author: Frances Guerin
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452957258
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Changing how we look at and think about the color grey Why did many of the twentieth century’s best-known abstract painters often choose grey, frequently considered a noncolor and devoid of meaning? Frances Guerin argues that painters (including Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, Agnes Martin, Brice Marden, Mark Rothko, and Gerhard Richter) select grey to respond to a key question of modernist art: What is painting? By analyzing an array of modernist paintings, Guerin demonstrates that grey has a unique history and a legitimate identity as a color. She traces its use by painters as far back as medieval and Renaissance art, through Romanticism, to nineteenth- and twentieth-century modernism to show how grey is the perfect color to address the questions asked by painting within art history and to articulate the relationship between painting and the historical world of industrial modernity. A work of exceptional erudition, breadth, and clarity, presenting an impressive range of canonical paintings across centuries as examples, The Truth Is Always Grey is a treatise on color that allows us to see something entirely new in familiar paintings and encourages our appreciation for the innovation and dynamism of the color grey.
