Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Miller Bunker (1861-1890) was one of the most talented painters of late nineteenth-century America. He was among the first Americans to use the bright colors and broken brushstrokes of the new Impressionist style; his beautiful landscapes and portraits are sought after by the most distinguished collectors of American art." "Dennis Miller Bunker: American Impressionist is the first comprehensive study of this important American artist. Trained in the academies of his native New York, Bunker continued his education in Paris, where he flourished in the sophisticated atmosphere of the world's art capital. In 1885, he accepted a teaching position in Boston. He joined the city's vibrant artistic community and developed close friendships with the writer William Dean Howells, the composer Charles Martin Loeffler, and the legendary collector Isabella Stewart Gardner, who became his champion. In Boston, Bunker also met John Singer Sargent, America's most renowned painter. The summer they spent working together in England proved to be a turning point in Bunker's career." "Bunker moved to New York in 1889. His heart remained in Boston, however, for he had fallen in love with Eleanor Hardy, the daughter of a prominent businessman. The couple married in October 1890. Barely three months later, Bunker died at age twenty-nine of a sudden illness. His beautifully crafted paintings were his only legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On September 11, 2004, eighteen artists and artist groups gathered on the former military Island of Kinmen, situated between Taiwan and Mainland China, to inaugurate the Bunker Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA), Kinmen, a mile away from the Mainland shore and 150 miles from Taiwan, has played a pivotal role in cross-strait relations since 1958, when it became the target of 500,000 artillery shells in 44 days. Its demilitarization in the early 1990s required the evacuation of 100,000 soldiers, leaving behind over 2000 bunkers. In turn, BMoCA transformed these abandoned military bunkers into exhibition spaces for artists from various disciplines, ranging from visual artists to composers, architects to filmmakers, crossing the borders of historical and political territories. During the museum's first six months, the exhibition drew a miraculous 880,000 visitors to the island of 50,000 residents. The curatorial team; led by internationally renowned artist Cal Guo-Qiang, built the exhibition upon a platform of four pillars: provocative artworks, cultural promotion, economic investment, and an atmosphere of hospitality towards outside visitors. This exhibition catalogue documents the seminal exhibition of a revitalized Kinmen, the island that participating artist Tan Dun-described as "an underground heaven for art.""--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Idea of the Avant Garde written by Marc James Léger and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the avant garde is highly contested, whether one consigns it to history or claims it for present-day or future uses. The first volume of The Idea of the Avant Garde – And What It Means Today provided a lively forum on the kinds of radical art theory and partisan practices that are possible in today’s world of global art markets and creative industry entrepreneurialism. This second volume presents the work of another 50 artists and writers, exploring the diverse ways that avant-gardism develops reflexive and experimental combinations of aesthetic and political praxis. The manifest strategies, temporalities, and genealogies of avant-garde art and politics are expressed through an international, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary convocation of ideas that covers the fields of film, video, architecture, visual art, art activism, literature, poetry, theatre, performance, intermedia and music.

Download or read book Making Art History in Europe After 1945 written by Noemi de Haro García and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the intermeshing of state power and art history in Europe since 1945 and up to the present from a critical, de-centered perspective. Devoting special attention to European peripheries and to under-researched transnational cultural political initiatives related to the arts implemented after the end of the Second World War, the contributors explore the ways in which this relationship crystallised in specific moments, places, discourses and practices. They make the historic hegemonic centres of the discipline converse with Europe’s Southern and Eastern peripheries, from Portugal to Estonia to Greece. By stressing the margins’ point of view this volume rethinks the ideological grounds on which art history and the European Union have been constructed as well as the role played by art and culture in the very concept of ‘Europe.’
