Joan Semmel
Author: Jodi Throckmorton
Publisher: Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts
ISBN: 9781646570164
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
"This publication, the first comprehensive catalogue of Joan Semmel's work, will trace the artist's career from early abstract-expressionist paintings through her movement-defining feminist art and activism and, finally, to the vital and monumental work that she is making today of her own mature body. This book gives readers the opportunity to experience almost fifty-five years of Semmel's extraordinary work, including forty of her paintings, as well as a selection of her rarely seen drawings, collages, and photographs. In the face of persistent censorship and in defiance of deep-rooted sexism and ageism, Joan Semmel (b. 1932) relentlessly makes paintings that reflect the ongoing struggle for women's equal representation, power to make decisions about their own bodies and sexuality, and empowerment through the self. At a moment when sex and body positivity have become international movements, it's critical to celebrate Semmel's pivotal and under-recognized role in bringing these ideas forward. Though Semmel is one of the most important feminist painters, and her work has consistently gained visibility within that context, she remains relatively unacknowledged for her impact on representational painting in the United States. The authors will consider Semmel in both feminist and figurative painting frameworks-a long-held desire of the artist-specifically in relation to Semmel's forward-thinking approach to painting the nude body. Throughout her career, Semmel has always been ahead of the curve-today, at 87 years old, she is making vital work that continues to challenge the traditions of figurative painting"--

EAKINS & PHOTOGRAPH PB
Author: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
Publisher: Smithsonian Books (DC)
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
One of the foremost American painters of the 19th century, Eakins (1844-1916) was also a pioneer photographer, his most innovative aspect being his emphasis on the nude, then rarely encountered in the US. This catalogue of the Eakins photographs in the Pennsylvania Academy's Charles Bregler collection includes about three-fourths of Eakins' photographic output. It describes the entire collection of 648 images, reproducing 173 bandw photographs, 52 duotones, and a portfolio section of 16 tritones. The accompanying essays suggest new ways of looking at the photographs in terms not only of Eakins' own art but also of the history of the medium. 10.25x9.75" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Procession
Author: David Acton
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520288009
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies the first major museum retrospective of the painter Norman Lewis (1909Ð1979). Lewis was the sole African American artist of his generation who became committed to issues of abstraction at the start of his career and continued to explore them over its entire trajectory. His art derived inspiration from music (jazz and classical) and nature (seasonal change, plant forms, the sea). Also central to his work were the dramatic confrontations of the civil rights movement, in which he was an active participant among the New York art scene. Bridging the Harlem Renaissance, Abstract Expressionism, and beyond, Lewis is a crucial figure in American abstraction whose reinsertion into the discourse further opens the field for recognition of the contributions of artists of color. Bringing much-needed attention to LewisÕs output and significance in the history of American art, Procession is a milestone in Lewis scholarship and a vital resource for future study of the artist and abstraction in his period. Published in association with Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Exhibition dates: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia: November 13, 2015ÐApril 3, 2016 Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth: June 4ÐAugust 21, 2016 Chicago Cultural Center: September 17, 2016ÐJanuary 8, 2017 Ê
