Download or read book North American Prints 1913 1947 written by David Tatham and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-23 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, eight contemporary scholars examine the rich diversity in the subject, style, and geography of printmaking from 1913-1947, a singular period of artistic creation. Also, three distinguished printmakers, who were active during the 1930s and 1940s, share their recollections of those decades, offering rare, firsthand accounts of the political, social,and cultural elements that influenced the artists and their work. David Tatham has chosen two watershed events, the Armory Show of 1913 and the important Brooklyn Museum exhibition of 1947, as the temporal bookends for this collection. Recognizing this era as wholly distinct from what had gone before and what was to come after it in graphic arts, the volume’s contributors illuminate the period’s spirited and vital debate about style, content, and the role of prints in society. Offering fresh assessments and newly understood historical contexts, the essays bring well-deserved attention to artists whose work has often been neglected, while it reexamines the works of well-known artists. This volume represents an important contribution to the study of printmaking by illustrating the way in which historical and contemporary graphic arts occupy a vital and central presence in the culture of our times.

Download or read book The Legacy Of Mark Rothko written by Lee Seldes and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 1996-08-22 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of Mark Rothko's apparent suicide in 1970, the deeply troubled, pioneering artist of Abstract Expressionism was at the height of fame and financial success; yet within months of the funeral, his three trusted friends, acting as executors, relinquished his entire legacy of 800 paintings to the powerful, international Marlborough Galleries (run by Frank Lloyd) for a fraction of their real worth on terms suspiciously unfavorable to the estate. The suit that Rothko's daughter brought against the executors and Marlborough rocked the art world with its shocking revelations of corruption in the international art trade: from the deceptions practiced on Rothko when he was alive to the scandals after his death involving conspiracies and cover-ups, double dealings and betrayals, missing paintings and manipulated markets, phony sales and laundered profits, forgery and fraud.

Download or read book The Care of Prints and Drawings written by Margaret Holben Ellis and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2nd edition of The Care of Prints and Drawings provides practical, straightforward advice to those responsible for the preservation of works on paper, ranging from curators, facility managers, conservators, registrars, collection care specialists, private collectors, artists, or students of museum studies, visual arts, art history, or conservation. A greater emphasis is placed on preventive conservation, a trend among collecting institutions, which reflects the growing recognition that scarce resources are best expended on preventing deterioration, rather than on less effective measures of reversing it. Expanded and richly illustrated chapters include: Supports for Prints and Drawings discusses the properties of parchment and paper and introduces the general preservation needs and conservation problems of all works on paper, regardless of their media. Conservation Problems Related to the Paper Support of Prints and Drawings presents a guide to recognizing the symptoms and diagnosing the causes of damage specific to paper. Conservation Problems Related to the Materials and Techniques of Prints describes the conservation problems that affect certain printmaking materials and arise from specific processes. Conservation Problems Related to the Materials and Techniques of Drawings focuses on the various materials used to create marks on paper. Item-Level Collection Protection: Envelopes, Sleeves, Folders, Enclosures, Mats, Boxes, Frames, and Furniture, discusses measures taken for prints and drawings so that they can better withstand the rigors of handling, examination, exhibition, travel, and adverse environmental conditions. Preventive Conservation for Prints and Drawings describes how the integration of a comprehensive Collections Care Program into a Collections Management Policy can reduce the need for item-level conservation treatments. Basic Paper Conservation Procedures provides instructions on how to stabilize damaged works. How to Make Starch Paste and Methyl Cellulose Adhesive and Suppliers of Paper Conservation Materials and Equipment are appended as well as a Glossary.

Download or read book The Collections of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art written by Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the second in a series of catalogues devoted to documenting the permanent collections in The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri. In this volume on ink-printed graphics, more than six thousand examples are cited, ranging from the 15th to the 20th century. Included are works by many of the leading print-makers of the Western world, some of the impressions being unique and others exceedingly rare." "From the dawn of printing is a group of thirty-two hand-colored woodcuts by unknown German artists, one of the most intact engravings of The Last Supper by the Dutch Master I.A.M. of Zwolle, and both states of Mantegna's Battle of the Sea Gods (Right Half). Among 16th century works are one of the finest known impressions of Durer's St. Jerome in His Study, a unique hand-colored engraving by the Flemish Master S, a singular engraving by Girolamo Mocetto, and chiaroscuro woodcuts by Ugo da Carpi, Agostino Veneziano, and Hendrick Goltzius. Notably representative of the 17th century are a number of Rembrandt's etchings, a splendid impression of Bellange's Martyrdom of St. Lucy, Hollar's Four Seasons, and mezzotints by Blooteling and Dusart. Among distinguished works of the 18th century are a first-edition set of Goya's Caprichos, Descourtis's two finest color intaglios, and etchings of 1748 by Piranesi, as well as a twenty-three-volume bound set of the first Paris edition of all of his antiquarian prints, his sons' additions, and works by their associates. Of the 19th century are Dr. Thornton's Temple of Flora series, Goya's Disasters of War, a superb impression of a Pissarro intaglio, and a unique annotated proof in the complete hand-colored set of Daumier's lithographed Les Cent Robert Macaire. Remarkable among 20th century holdings are proofs of Feininger's Green Bridge and Villon's Red Umbrella, famous posters by Bakst and Thorn Prikker, striking etchings by Nolde, an early lithograph and a monumental acquatint by Picasso, and Lichtenstein's Modern Head series in several media." "Each of one hundred numbered entries written by George L. McKenna discusses a single print, several impressions, or portions of series. Information on the date, size, state, signature, inscriptions, catalogue raisonne numbers, watermark, provenance, and exhibition and publication history of each print precedes the extended text. That text, in essay form, presents relevant biographical detail, analysis of imagery, description of style, and germane critical comment footnoted with reference to publications cited in the bibliography at the end of the book. Depending upon the appearance of the original prints, illustrations are in full color or black and white in facsimile or reduced scale." "Following the one hundred entries is a list of some six thousand other prints in the collection, arranged alphabetically according to nationality, medium, and artist. The title, date, measurements, catalogue raisonne and accession numbers of every print are specified, as well as the names of the donors of gifts. Two hundred and ninety of the prints are reproduced in small black and white plates in close proximity to their locations in the list." "In addition, George L. McKenna has written an introduction which recounts how the print collection has been formed through the years, beginning with the first purchases in 1932."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
