Download or read book Graphic Witness written by George Walker and published by Firefly Books. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you care about graphic novels, you need this book." -- New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman Graphic Witness features rare wordless novels by five great twentieth century woodcut artists from Europe and North America. The stories they tell reflect the political and social issues of their times as well as the broader issues that are still relevant today. Frans Masereel (1899-1972) was born in Belgium and is considered the father of the wordless graphic novel. Graphic Witness includes the first reprint of his classic work The Passion of a Man since its 1918 publication in Munich. American Lynd Ward (1905-85), author of the provocative Wild Pilgrimage, is considered among the most important of wordless novelists. Giacomo Patri (1898-1978) was born in Italy and lived in the United States. His White Collar featured an introduction by Rockwell Kent and was used a promotional piece by the labor movement. Erich Glas's (1897-1973) haunting wordless novel Leilot, created in 1942, foreshadows the Holocaust, which was not widely known about at the time. Southern Cross by Canadian Laurence Hyde (1914-87) was controversial for its criticism of U.S. H-bomb testing in the South Pacific. Author George A. Walker draws on his expertise as a woodcut artist to provide insight into the tools and techniques used to create these works of art. As well, he examines the importance of the role of artists as witnesses and critics of their times, and the influence of the genre on the emergence of comics and the modern graphic novel. This newly expanded edition of Graphic Witness, which features an afterword by cartoonist Seth, will appeal to readers interested in social issues, printmaking, art history and contemporary culture.

Download or read book Instant Ruins written by Robin Vanbesien and published by . This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant Ruins' (2012) is een tentoonstelling in boekvorm. De publicatie toont dertig foto's waarop zaken gedocumenteerd zijn die de kunstenaar aantrof in verschillende steden als Brussel, Genua, Marseille, Parijs, Berlijn, Rotterdam en Luik, in de periode maart 2010 tot september 2011. Het boek is ontstaan vanuit de vraag hoe 'de ander' bij het bekijken van deze documentaire foto's, voorbij kan gaan aan de singulariteit (de subjectieve oorsprong) ervan. Alle foto's in het boek worden horizontaal gespiegeld. Dankzij deze methode worden de gangbare kwaliteiten van de foto - de aspecten van het onmiddellijke en het objectieve - gekanteld en verschijnt een ander soort foto. Deze foto functioneert zoals de ruïne van een gebouw dat zijn oorspronkelijke functie verloren heeft. De aandacht verschuift van de inhoudelijke naar de formele, esthetische aspecten van de voorstelling.

Download or read book Dorothy Iannone written by Dorothy Iannone and published by JRP Ringier. This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, Dorothy Iannone has attempted to represent ecstatic love, 'the union of gender, feeling, and pleasure.' Today her oeuvre is widely recognized as one of the most provocative and fruitful bodies of work in recent decades in terms of the liberalization of female sexuality, political and feminist issues.A narrative element fed with personal mythologies, experiences, feelings, and relationships runs through all of her work, unified by her distinctive colourful, explicit, and comic book-like style.Created in 1969, when she was living with Swiss artist Dieter Roth, the Cookbook is a perfect example of how she mixes daily life and an existential approach, culminating in her vision of cooking as an outlet for both eroticism and introspection. A real book of recipes full of visual delights, the Cookbook contains densely decorated pages with patterned designs, packed text, and vibrant colours. Personal sentences are interspersed among the lists of ingredients, revealing the exultations and tribulations of her life between the lines of recipes.Filled with wit and wordplay, associations between aliments and idiosyncratic thoughts -- 'At least one can turn pain to colour' accompanies the recipe for gazpacho; 'Dorothy's spirit is like this: green and yellow', is written next to the ingredients for lentil soup -- the Cookbook constitutes a mundane but essential self-portrait of the artist as a cook and a lover. This beautiful facsimile of the Cookbook is published in collaboration with Air de Paris, Paris.Born in 1933 in Boston, Dorothy Iannone lives and works in Berlin. Her recent exhibitions include: Centre culturel suisse, Paris, 2016; Migros Museum, Zurich; Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (both 2014); and New Museum, New York, 2009.

Download or read book Lunatic written by Dan Mazur and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MOONSTRUCK "Lunatic" is an unusual and striking graphic novel in the tradition of wordless books by the likes of Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward and William Gropper. Part fable, part classic adventure in the tradition of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and Méliès, the tale is told in nearly 200 full-page, wordless images in a variety of media from pencil, pen and ink, ink wash and paint that lovingly evoke the artistic styles of its period setting, and classic illustrators from Charles Dana Gibson and Toulouse Lautrec to Edward Gorey. The word "lunatic" derives from Latin, meaning "of the moon", or "moonstruck" and in this sense it describes the protagonist of this story: from infancy she develops a magical, almost intimate relationship with the moon itself, a celestial being who acts as her friend, lover, mentor. Our heroine is a dreamer, an outsider, never feeling like she quite belongs to this world. We follow her through the stages of life, infancy, childhood, youth and adulthood, at each point guided by the moon toward a fateful journey and an unexpected destiny. A timeless and charming story of longing, loneliness and the pursuit of dreams.
