Book excerpt: "In a career spanning over six decades, the New York art dealer Pierre Matisse (1900-1989) contributed substantially to the advancement of modern art. At his eponymous gallery on East Fifty-seventh Street, he showed several now legendary artists for the first time outside Europe. The collection--paintings, sculpture, and drawings by Balthus, Bonnard, Chagall, Derain, Dubuffet, Giacometti, Magritte, and the dealer's own father, Henri Matisse, among others--was donated to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2004 by the foundation established by his widow. These extraordinary artworks are presented with informative entries addressing the circumstances of each work's creation and the dealer's relationship to the artist. In the introduction, the story of Pierre Matisse's early struggles in New York is told for the first time and illustrated with previously unpublished archival photographs."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Among the great 20th-century masters, the surrealist painter Joan Miró stands out for the atmosphere of wit and spontaneity that pervades his work. Mirós art went through many phases, and its major features his signs and symbols, his series of anguished peintures sauvages in the 1930s, his lyrical, poetic gouaches, his monumental sculptures and ceramics, his unprecedented use of poetic titles, and his attachment to nature and to the night are discussed here by Roland Penrose, a friend of the artist for almost five decades. A brief epilogue by Eduardo de Benito, London correspondent of the Spanish art periodical Lápiz, illustrates the developments of Mirós last years. This new revised edition, now illustrated in colour throughout, includes a foreword by Antony Penrose, outlining the relationship between his father and the artist, as well as updates to the Bibliography.
Download or read book Joan Mir written by Joan Miró and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking Joan Miró's notorious declaration of 1927--"I want to assassinate painting"--as its point of departure, this richly illustrated volume is the first to focus on Miró the "anti-painter," identifying the core practices and strategies the artist used to challenge painting between 1927 and 1937. Joan Miró Painting and Anti-Painting 1927-1937 surveys the various material, iconographical and rhetorical forms of Miró's attacks on painting by presenting, in chronological sequence, 12 distinct series of works, beginning with a remarkable group of paintings on unprimed canvas and concluding with Miró's return to Realism in "Still Life with Old Shoe" (1937). Acidic color, grotesque disfigurement, stylistic heterogeneity and the use of resistant, ready-made materials are among the key tactics of aggression that are explored in this extraordinary presentation of the interrelated and oppositional series of paintings, collages, objects and drawings Miró produced during this crucial decade of his long career. This volume integrates close scrutiny of Miró's materials and processes with historical and iconographic analysis, leading to an expanded understanding of the underappreciated aggressiveness of an artist long regarded as Surrealism's most lyrical painter-poet. Joan Miró was born in 1893 in Barcelona. After his first trip to Paris in 1920, and through 1931, Miró generally spent half of each year in the French capitol and half in his native Catalonia, returning to live in France after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. One of the twentieth century's greatest Modern artists, Miró created a pictorial world of intense imaginative power, in which visionary and cosmic elements are inextricably intertwined with the earthly and mundane. He died in 1983 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Download or read book The Cigarette Century written by Allan M. Brandt and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of mass marketing led to cigarettes being emblazoned in advertising and film, deeply tied to modern notions of glamour and sex appeal. It is hard to find a photo of Humphrey Bogart or Lauren Bacall without a cigarette. No product has been so heavily promoted or has become so deeply entrenched in American consciousness. And no product has received such sustained scientific scrutiny. The development of new medical knowledge demonstrating the dire harms of smoking ultimately shaped the evolution of evidence-based medicine. In response, the tobacco industry engineered a campaign of scientific disinformation seeking to delay, disrupt, and suppress these studies. Using a massive archive of previously secret documents, historian Allan Brandt shows how the industry pioneered these campaigns, particularly using special interest lobbying and largesse to elude regulation. But even as the cultural dominance of the cigarette has waned and consumption has fallen dramatically in the U.S., Big Tobacco remains securely positioned to expand into new global markets. The implications for the future are vast: 100 million people died of smoking-related diseases in the 20th century; in the next 100 years, we expect 1 billion deaths worldwide.

This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: تحمل رواية «النجم 111» سمات سيرة ذاتية، لكنها ليست رواية ذاتية بالمعنى الدقيق للكلمة. تستيقظ الشخصية الرئيسة في الرواية «كارل» في ليلة من عام 1989 وهي مصابة بقشعريرة من أثر البرد. يسحب كارل نفسه من السيارة التي كان يرقد فيها للخارج، إلى حانة، ولا يكاد يصل إليها حتى ينهار هناك، وعندما يستيقظ، يجد نفسه مستلقياً على مقعد، وكوب من حليب الماعز في يده، لتبدأ منذ تلك اللحظة مرحلة جديدة في حياته، حيث يُقبَلُ في مجتمع يعيش بين الواقع والبوهيمية. يتأرجح كارل بين هواجس الأسطورة والواقع في ظل شعور غريب يرافقه على الدوام. يمتد زمن الرواية لمدة 16 شهراً تقريباً، وتدور أحداثها الرئيسة في نطاق محدود للغاية. وهنا يكشف سايلير عن مهاراته الأدبية في وصف الكتل المتداعية للمنازل التي استحوذت عليها المجموعة الأناركية من رعاة الماعز. لغته حيّة بقدر ما هي حسيّة، أنيقة بقدر ما هي خالية من الكليشيهات. يبين سايلير واقع الحالـة المزاجيَّـة التي يستحضرها في روايتـه، وهذا يرجع في المقـام الأول إلى الفجوة بين الأحداث المسرودة ومستوى معرفتنا في الزمن الحاضر. «النجم 111» تروح بنا في ممر زمنيٍّ ضيق مزدحم برؤى أشكال بديلة للحياة. نعرف اليوم مدى سرعة استيعاب الرأسمالية لهذه الرؤى. إن ما يميز هذه الرواية أنها تعج بالحيوية وتسمو بالمكانة الأدبية.
