This book was released on 2010-07-31 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on one hundred and seven of the one hundred thirty two drawings and paintings from the million dollar Merriam collection. The unique thirty year plus relationship between the artist and the collector is described from their first encounter in Rockport, Massachusetts to the eulogy given by Keeper of the Prints Sinclair Hitchings at the library. As with all living artists in his collection, John Merriam insisted on meeting Dergalis in person. There developed a long standing agreement that upon completion of each new drawing, George would call John at any hour to arrange for a private viewing. In John's Beacon Hill brownstone, filled with works of art, the collector would probe the inner sanctum of the artist's mind in an effort to understand the artistic process from conception to fruition. The intense question and answer sessions ultimately pushed the artist to a better understanding of self. John guided George to explore the full potential of his technical ability and creative powers. Thus was born a series of intricate surreal drawings composed of thousands of tiny dots which told an intimate story of fantasy and desire.

Download or read book The Architect s Brother written by Robert ParkeHarrison and published by Twin Palms Pub. This book was released on 2000 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert ParkeHarrison creates constructed photographs which tell stories of loss, struggle, and personal exploration within landscapes scarred by technology and over-use. He attempts to metaphorically and poetically link his laborious actions, idiosyncratic rituals and strangely crude machines into tales about our modern experience. The mythic world he creates mirrors our world, where nature is domesticated and controlled. The scenes display futile attempts to save or rejuvenate nature. His 'everyman' character patches holes in the sky, creates rain machines, chases storms to create electricity, communicates with the earth to learn its needs. Within these scenes, he creates less refined, less scientific, more ritualistic and poetic possibilities to work with nature rather than destroying it. The nature of his images and the process of their construction are interdisciplinary, embodying aspects of theater, sculpture, and painting, photography and performance. None of the images are real in the factual sense, but they are treated as precious talismans of a lost moment, a documented super-reality, whose message, like that of a myth, transcends the small realities of the day to day world.

Book excerpt: This national group thematic exhibition examines the many uses of sentimental imagery by contemporary artists. Traditional signifiers of the sweeter, more tender emotions (hearts, flowers, birds, domestic arts and interiors, decorative motifs, etc.) were abhorrent to twentieth-century Modernism, but today artists employ them to celebrate the positive emotional spectrum, to evoke memory and nostalgia, and to ironically attack sentimentality as an inauthentic and damaging simplification of the human condition.
