Book Too Many Summers

Download or read book Too Many Summers written by Leslee Ganss and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aiming her pen at such sacred cows as clueless tourists, beloved fall festivals, questionable architecture and The Shack on the Causeway (RIP!), L. Ganss explores the ironies and eccentricities of a summer resort in all its seasons and temperaments. Jam-packed with 230 favorites culled from over two decades of Artoons originally published in Long Beach Island's SandPaper, this collection draws inspiration from the local quirks and rituals of this 18-mile-long Jersey Shore sandbar lovingly known as ''LBI'' and the equally inspiring ''just-over-the-bridge'' mainland. From ''Vacation (Hell)'' and ''Strange Days'' to summer bucket lists and dubious landmarks, Artoon fans will find many of their favorites here and newcomers will be happily immersed in the humorous consequences of too many summers.''Three decades into the one-woman art show that is the weekly Artoon, L. Ganss shows no signs of exhausting the absurdities, ironies and follies that animate her portrait of the beach scene and the bay life.'' -- from the Foreword

Book A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework

Download or read book A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework written by Jane Chin Davidson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework explores the ways specialists and institutions in the fine arts, curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to situate art in a more global framework since the 1980s. Offering analyses of the successes and setbacks of these efforts to globalize the art world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an international panel of leading scholars and practicing artists assert that what we talk about as ‘art’ is essentially a Western concept, thus any attempts at understanding art in a global framework require a revising of established conceptual definitions. Organized into three sections, this work first reviews the history and theory of the visual arts since 1980 and introduces readers to the emerging area of scholarship that seeks to place contemporary art in a global framework. The second section traces the progression of recent developments in the art world, focusing on the historical and cultural contexts surrounding efforts to globalize the art world and the visual arts in particular global and transnational frameworks. The final section addresses a wide range of key themes in contemporary art, such as the fundamental institutions and ontologies of art practice, and the interactions among art, politics, and the public sphere. A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, researchers, and general readers interested in exploring global art beyond the traditional Euro-American context.

Book The Untrue History of Art

Download or read book The Untrue History of Art written by Peter Duggan and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genuinely laugh-out-loud funny, these 125 cartoons from the popular Guardian comic series Peter Duggan's Artoons tackle the whole of Western art history, from cave art to Koons. What Kate Beaton has done for literature, The Untrue History of Art does for art, managing the tricky feat of being both lightheartedly silly and refreshingly intelligent. Find out what Pointillists do on their days off, why Surrealists hate mornings, and why contrapposto is so cool. You'll get to see Pre-Raphaelite wrestling, Manet's picnic fails, Harry Hockney vs Voldemort, Andy Warhol's childhood on the planet Vulcan, Joan Miro's yoyo, and Yayoi Kusama's obsession with Damien Hirst's head. Two extremely helpful indexes mean you'll never miss a reference, which means it is not just funny but a great entry point into a wider appreciation of art. Gently mocking but never cruel, the humour stems from a true love of art, and a real affection and appreciation for those who make it. This volume is a bigger and better version of the hardcover book Peter Duggan's Artoons, published in 2015 by Penguin/Random House. It has a load more cartoons and whole new chunks of funny and informative yickety yak from the author.
