As the day breaks, spilling warm, honeyed light over Cairo, Florine Asch sets out with her sketchpad, pencils and paintbrushes. In her journey through this ancient and mysterious land, Florine will encounter the majesty of the sandstone hills of Abu Simbel, the wonder of the pyramids of Giza, and the baroque elegance of Cairo's grand interiors. From the tranquility of a felucca floating down the Nile to the bustle of the spice stalls in the marketplace, and from the harmony of shepherds inthe pastures along the riverbank to the opulance of Egypt's grandest hotels, the life of the city, the beauty of the desert and the rich hues of sand and stone, all come to life under her brush.--Cover.

Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer
Author: Diana Seave Greenwald
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691973857
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
A richly illustrated look at how travel influenced the work of renowned contemporary artist Betye Saar Betye Saar (b. 1926) is an artist whose assemblages tell visual stories and convey powerful political messages. A leading figure of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s, she works with found objects—many of which she gathers on her extensive travels—to explore themes like symbolic mysticism, feminism, racism, and Eurocentric chauvinism. Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer sheds new light on Saar’s unique creative process, her trips around the world, and the diverse ways in which her artworks engage with global histories of travel and forced migration. It presents how the artist’s work conjures the transporting experience of a voyage to a faraway place. This beautifully illustrated book draws on original, in-depth interviews with Saar and the companions who accompanied the artist in her travels across four continents over several decades. Essays by leading scholars contextualize Saar’s journeys within her broader life and career, as well as how her practice fits into broader traditions—such as scrapbooking—in African American visual culture. In addition to providing this context, this book explores how Saar’s assemblage practice both echoes and provides a critical counterpoint to the collecting practices of Gilded Age American art collectors like Isabella Stewart Gardner. Featuring a wealth of previously unpublished material—including almost thirty travel sketchbooks and two dozen finished assemblages—Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer provides a fresh look at a groundbreaking American artist while offering a timely social history of the impact of travel on the African American experience.
