Download or read book Beauford Delaney and James Baldwin written by Stephen C. Wicks and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauford Delaney and James Baldwin: Through the Unusual Door examines the thirty-eight-year relationship between painter Beauford Delaney (born in Knoxville, 1901; died in Paris, 1979) and writer James Baldwin (born in New York, 1924; died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, 1987) and the ways their ongoing intellectual exchange shaped each other’s creative output and worldview. This full-color publication documents the groundbreaking exhibition organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA) and is drawn from the KMA’s extensive Delaney holdings, from public and private collections around the country, and from unpublished photographs and papers held by the Knoxville-based estate of Beauford Delaney. This book seeks to identify and disentangle the skein of influences that grew over and around a complex, lifelong relationship with a selection of Delaney’s works that reflects the powerful presence of Baldwin in Delaney’s life. While no other figure in Beauford Delaney’s extensive social orbit approaches James Baldwin in the extent and duration of influence, none of the major exhibitions of Delaney’s work has explored in any depth the creative exchange between the two. The volume also includes essays by Mary Campbell, whose research currently focuses on James Baldwin and Beauford Delaney within the context of the civil rights movement; Glenn Ligon, an internationally acclaimed New York-based artist with intimate knowledge of Baldwin’s writings, Delaney’s art, and American history and society; Levi Prombaum, a curatorial assistant at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum who did his doctoral research at University College London on Delaney’s portraits of James Baldwin; and Stephen Wicks, the Knoxville Museum of Art’s Barbara W. and Bernard E. Bernstein Curator, who has guided the KMA’s curatorial department for over 25 years and was instrumental in building the world’s largest and most comprehensive public collection of Beauford Delaney’s art at the KMA.
Download or read book Downtown Knoxville written by Paul James and Jack Neely and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded on a bluff overlooking the Tennessee River in 1791, Knoxville was a frontier town as well as the birthplace and first capital of Tennessee. From the postcolonial years through the Civil War and on to Knoxville's emergence as an industrial, dynamic, and thoroughly American city, downtown was where everything happened--the setting of the city's most memorable stories and legends. Spanning First and Second Creeks and connecting the river to the railroad, downtown is where Knoxvillians have built their most defining churches, opera houses, movie theaters, and hotels. Here, traditions, holidays, and the endings of wars have been celebrated; suffrage leaders exhorted politicians to pass a national amendment; conservationists planned a national park; idealistic engineers and architects of a New Deal program reimagined a multistate valley; and musicians convened to record and broadcast new forms of folk music that would be called "country." Downtown is where bizarre gunfights drew national attention and a notorious outlaw escaped from jail and rode the sheriff's horse to freedom across the Gay Street Bridge.
Download or read book Condemned Buildings written by Douglas Darden and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condemned Building is one of our most requested out-of-print books, so we've done a special limited edition reprint (only 750 copies) to meet the ongoing demand for this book. Not long after this book was published, the only one on the work of this gifted architect and delineator, Doug died of leukemia. Fans and friends, including legions of students, quickly bought up the remaining copies, and the difficulty of finding this book has undoubtedly only increased its appeal. Doug said that these projects were "the underbelly of canonical architectural principles and forms", and indeed many are dark, brooding, or sexual in nature: a "kamasutra with the negative." The book covers ten projects, in model, drawing, and "psychoanalytical" text. Douglas Darden taught at Harvard, Columbia, and most recently the University of Colorado at Denver. He was a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome. He is sorely missed, but we're happy to be able to offer his book once again.

Download or read book Knoxville Tennessee written by William Bruce Wheeler and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this new edition, Wheeler argues that, like Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby (1925), Knoxvillians have fabricated for themselves a false history, portraying themselves and their city as the almost impotent victims of historical forces that they could neither alter nor control. The result of this myth, Wheeler says, is a collective mentality of near-helplessness against the powerful forces of isolation, poverty, and even change itself. But Knoxville's past is far more complicated than that, for the city contained abundant material goods and human talent that could have been used to propel Knoxville into the ranks of the premier cities of the New South - if those assets had not slipped through the fingers of both the leaders and the populace.

Book excerpt: In its time, Bearden has seen a motley assortment of pioneers, some of them immigrants, some of them rare African American landowners, spread alongside the toll road into the western wilderness; the first railroad ever built through East Tennessee; Knoxville's first eighteen-hole golf course; the dawn of aviation in East Tennessee, and Knoxville's first municipal airport; a major brick factory, a landmark hat factory, and the biggest rose-production plant in the South; the junction of two of America's first national automobile routes, spawning half a century of tourist camps, motor courts, and motels; jazz nightclubs and slot-machine speakeasies; drive-in restaurants, movie theaters, and bootlegging joints; Knoxville's first cinema multiplex; and too many interesting residents to count, including some cutting-edge musicians, a Pulitzer-winning novelist, and a groundbreaking inventor.

Lovingly known for making affordable art, as well as being the indie rock cover art maker to Pavement, The Apples in Stereo, and Silver Jews, Keene has long been under appreciated for his importance to the 90s indie art and music scenes. The Steve Keene Art Book--originally conceived during his sold out show at Shepard Fairey's LA Gallery Subliminal Projects in 2016--is the first art book dedicated exclusively to his work.
