Jane Peterson
Author: Cynthia Roznoy
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780998897004
Category : Boats and boating in art
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
"Jane Peterson is exhibiting 33 oil paintings at the St. Botolph Club. There is not a dull canvas in the entire collection and everything is interesting. [French views] seem to be the favorite for this artist, who is young, vivacious and wholly unafraid." - Christian Science Monitor This favorable review of Jane Peterson's first solo show in 1909 marked the beginning of the artist's long exhibiting career. Celebrated for her colorful paintings of festive subjects, Peterson's vibrant images provided a vital link between the impressionist and expressionist movements in American art. This volume presents eighty-eight of Peterson's paintings, examines them critically and traces the artistic life of this intriguing woman. Both critically and popularly acclaimed in the first half of the century, the dominance of abstraction afterwards caused her star to diminish. Largely forgotten by the time of her death in 1965, the essays by Dr. Arlene Katz Nichols and Dr. Cynthia Roznoy shine a light on Peterson-her life and her art-and return her again, to the public eye.

Tell Me Something Good
Author: Jarrett Earnest
Publisher: David Zwirner Books
ISBN: 194170137X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
Since 2000, The Brooklyn Rail has been a platform for artists, academics, critics, poets, and writers in New York and abroad. The monthly journal’s continued appeal is due in large part to its diverse contributors, many of whom bring contrasting and often unexpected opinions to conversations about art and aesthetics. No other publication devotes as much space to the artist’s voice, allowing ideas to unfold and idiosyncrasies to emerge through open discussion. Since its inception, cofounder and artistic director Phong Bui and the Rail’s contributors have interviewed over four hundred artists for The Brooklyn Rail. This volume brings together for the first time a selection of sixty of the most influential and seminal interviews with artists ranging from Richard Serra and Brice Marden, to Alex Da Corte and House of Ladosha. While each interview is important in its own right, offering a perspective on the life and work of a specific artist, collectively they tell the story of a journal that has grown during one of the more diverse and surprising periods in visual art. There is no unified style or perspective; The Brooklyn Rail’s strength lies in its ability to include and champion difference. Selected and coedited by Jarrett Earnest, a frequent Rail contributor, with Lucas Zwirner, the book includes an introduction to the project by Phong Bui as well as many of the hand-drawn portraits he has made of those he has interviewed over the years. This combination of verbal and visual profiles offers a rare and personal insight into contemporary visual culture. Interviews with Vito Acconci, Ai Weiwei, Lynda Benglis, James Bishop, Chris Burden, Vija Celmins, Francesco Clemente, Bruce Conner, Alex Da Corte, Rosalyn Drexler, Keltie Ferris, Simone Forti, Andrea Fraser, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Suzan Frecon, Coco Fusco, Robert Gober, Leon Golub, Ron Gorchov, Michelle Grabner, Josephine Halvorson, Sheila Hicks, David Hockney, Roni Horn, House of Ladosha, Alfredo Jaar, Bill Jensen, Alex Katz, William Kentridge, Matvey Levenstein, Nalini Malani, Brice Marden, Chris Martin, Jonas Mekas, Shirin Neshat, Thomas Nozkowski, Lorraine O’Grady, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Joanna Pousette-Dart, Ernesto Pujol, Martin Puryear, Walid Raad, Dorothea Rockburne, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Robert Ryman, Dana Schutz, Richard Serra, Shahzia Sikander, Nancy Spero, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Sarah Sze, Rirkrit Tiravanija, James Turrell, Richard Tuttle, Luc Tuymans, Kara Walker, Stanley Whitney, Jack Whitten, Yan Pei-Ming, and Lisa Yuskavage Special thanks to Furthermore, a program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, for their support of The Brooklyn Rail.
