Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a richly illustrated and informative survey of the work of the most influential Latin American artists of the early 20th century. A charismatic figure of the international art scene, Joaquin Torres-Garcia (1874-1949) is revered today as one of the most influential artists of the early twentieth-century to have emerged from Latin America. Though Torres-Garcia was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, he spent most of his life in Spain, Italy, France, and the USA before returning to his native Uruguay in 1934. There he founded the 'Taller Torres-Garcia' - the most significant art educational community of its time (1944-1962) - in the tradition of the Bauhaus and the De Stijl, which promoted avant-garde experimentation and sought to blur the hierarchical distinction between arts and crafts. Celebrated for his work as a modernist painter, teacher, and theoretician, Garcia is also known for breaking new ground in the realm of wooden constructions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whistler saltó repentinamente a la fama, como una estrella errante en un momento crucial en la historia del arte, un campo en el que fue pionero. Como los impresionistas a los que admiraba, deseaba imponer sus propias ideas. La obra de Whistler puede dividirse en cuatro periodos. El primero puede llamarse periodo de investigación, en el cual recibió la influencia del realismo de Gustave Courbet y del arte japonés. Después, Whistler descubrió su propia originalidad en la serie de Nocturnos y de los Jardines de Cremorne, con las que entró en conflicto con los academicistas, que querían que un trabajo artístico contara una historia. Cuando pintó el retrato de su madre, Whistler lo tituló Composición en gris y negro y fue una obra simbólica de sus teorías estéticas. Cuando pintó Los jardines del placer de Cremorne no lo hizo para representar figuras identificables, como hizo Renoir cuando tocó temas similares, sino para capturar la atmósfera. Adoraba la bruma que flotaba sobre las orillas del Támesis, la luz pálida y las chimeneas de las fábricas que por las noches se convertían en mágicos minaretes. La noche redibujaba el paisaje, borrando los detalles. Este fue el periodo en el que se convirtió en un aventurero del arte; su obra, que rayaba en la abstracción, escandalizó a sus contemporáneos. El tercer periodo está dominado por los retratos de cuerpo completo, que le dieron fama. Era capaz de imbuir una profunda originalidad a este género tradicional. Trató de capturar una parte del alma de sus modelos y colocó a sus personajes en su entorno natural. Esto daba a sus modelos una extraña presencia, de modo que parecen a punto de levantarse y salirse del cuadro para enfrentar al observador. Al extraer la esencia poética de las personas, creó retratos que sus contemporáneos describían como “medios”, y que fueron la inspiración para que Oscar Wilde escribiera El retrato de Dorian Gray. Hacia el final de su vida, el artista comenzó a pintar paisajes y retratos en la tradición clásica, con una fuerte influencia de Velázquez. Whistler demostró ser sumamente riguroso en cuanto a que sus pinturas coincidieran con sus teorías. Jamás titubeó en batirse con los más famosos teóricos del arte de su día. Su personalidad, sus arrebatos y su elegancia fueron el foco perfecto para la curiosidad y la admiración. Fue amigo cercano de Stéphane Mallarmé y fue admirado por Marcel Proust, quien le rindió homenaje en su libro En busca del tiempo perdido. También fue un caballero provocativo, una figura quisquillosa de sociedad, artista exigente y osado innovador.
Download or read book Rembrandt written by Klaus Carl and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El espíritu, el carácter, la vida, la obra y el método de pintar de Rembrandt son un completo misterio. Lo que podemos adivinar de su naturaleza esencial proviene de sus pinturas y de incidentes triviales o trágicos de su infortunada existencia; su inclinación por la vida ostentosa lo obligó a declararse en bancarrota. Sus desgracias no son del todo comprensibles y su obra refleja ideas perturbadoras e impulsos contradictorios que emergen de las profundidades de su ser, como la luz y las sombras en sus cuadros. A pesar de todo, tal vez nada en la historia del arte causa una impresión más profunda de unidad que sus pinturas, compuestas de elementos tan distintos y llenos de significados complejos. El espectador siente que el intelecto de Rembrandt, esa mente genial, grandiosa, osada y libre de toda servidumbre que lo guiaba a través de las más elevadas reflexiones y los más sublimes ensueños, se deriva de la misma fuente que sus emociones. De ahí el trágico elemento que plasmó en todo lo que pintaba, sin importar el tema; en su obra coexiste la desigualdad con lo sublime, algo que puede parecer la consecuencia inevitable de una existencia tan tumultuosa. Pareciera como si aquella personalidad singular, extraña, atractiva y casi enigmática hubiera sido lenta para desarrollarse, o al menos para alcanzar su completa expansión. Rembrandt demostró talento y una visión original del mundo a muy temprana edad, como lo prueban sus grabados de la juventud y sus primeros autorretratos realizados alrededor de 1630. Sin embargo, en la pintura no encontró de inmediato el método necesario para expresar las cosas, todavía incomprensibles, que deseaba expresar; le faltaba ese método audaz, completo y personal que admiramos en las obras maestras de su madurez y ancianidad. A pesar de su sutileza, en su época se le juzgó brutal, lo que ciertamente contribuyó a alejar a su público. A pesar de ello, desde sus inicios y una vez logrado el éxito, la iluminación fue parte importante de su concepción de la pintura y la convirtió en el principal instrumento de sus investigaciones de los misterios de la vida interior. Ya le había revelado la poesía de la fisonomía humana cuando pintó El filósofo meditando o La Sagrada Familia, tan maravillosamente absorta en su modesta intimidad, o, por ejemplo, en El ángel Rafael dejando a Tobías. Muy pronto aquello no fue suficiente. La guardia nocturna marca de inmediato la apoteosis de su reputación. Tenía una curiosidad universal y vivía, meditaba, soñaba y pintaba replegado en sí mismo. De los grandes venecianos tomó prestados sus temas, convirtiéndolos en un arte que brotaba de una vida interior de emociones profundas. Los temas mitológicos y religiosos los trató de la misma manera que sus retratos. Todo lo que tomaba de la realidad y hasta de las obras de otros lo transmutaba al instante en parte de su propia sustancia.
Download or read book Impure Vision written by Aurora Fernández Polanco and published by Actar D. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exhibition brought in the MNCARS with works from their permanent collection aims to approach one of the key aspects in the reception of the work; insisting that the visuality is beyond the optical qualities. The spectator needs not to identify himself with a "universal" subject placed in front of the works, through a "retinal chill," in order to contact with the artist's intentions, and therefore, a further identification. Along the exhibition, a catalog was published containing a text by the commissioner, Aurora Fernndez Polanco. The catalog also gathers a biography of all the artists presented at the show, an index file of each work and the reproduction of all the exhibited pieces.

Book excerpt: Catalogo ufficiale della mostra di Firenze (Galleria degli Uffizi, 28 marzo 2006-7 gennaio 2007). Fra i grandi protagonisti della cultura universale nessuno è più popolare di Leonardo da Vinci. Seduce la sua universalità, impressiona la sua biografia, rimane indimenticabile la sua immagine affidata al celebre "Autoritratto" di Torinono e poi replicata in infinite varianti dalla iconografia ottocentesca e novecentesca. C'è qualcosa di veramente misterioso e quasi di esoterico nell'idea che l'immaginario popolare si è fatta di Leonardo. Egli è il pittore, il disegnatore, lo sperimentatore. È il teorico delle arti, è il filosofo e lo scienziato, l'anatomista e il cosmologo, il cartografo e l'architetto, quello che studia il volo degli uccelli, la circolazione del sangue, il ritmo delle maree, quello che ascolta l'"anima mundi", e "inventa" le macchine del futuro. "La mente di Leonardo" inaugura il ciclo di iniziative dal titolo "The Universal Leonardo", che formano il prestigioso programma della 28° Eposizione d'Arte, Scienza e Cultura promossa dal Consiglio d'Europa.

Book excerpt: - Contemporary Italian artists - Artistic and expressive research - Accompanied by a rich apparatus of significant archive images Catalog of the exhibition dedicated by La Galleria Nazionale di Roma to Vasco Bendini on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, opening on March 29, 2022. The volume accompanies the discovery of the career of one of the major artists of the second half of the Italian 20th century, from his early training with Giorgio Morandi, up to the great Roman solo exhibitions and the Biennales of his maturity. The work of Vasco Bendini, dear to critics such as Francesco Arcangeli and Maurizio Calvesi, opens in the immediate postwar period, following an informal language in search of the volto as a universal archetype, to then focus on gesture and matter, under the influence of, among others, Jean Fautrier. The 1960s are characterized by the inclusion in the paintings of heterogeneous objects and materials, in an approach to Arte Povera and then, with actions and installations, to the Neodada way of doing things. The central objective for Bendini remains in fact the involvement of the viewer, in a fruitful dialog necessary for the development of his poetics. A large selection of archival photos, along with essays and alleri productions of the works, is flanked by a critical anthology and unpublished writings by the Master. Text in English and Italian.
Download or read book A Space for an Island Universe written by Josiah McElheny and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In his works, the American artist Josiah McElheny questions the legacy of modernity from the standpoint of his practice as a master of glass, starting from the confluence of design, science and art." "This book presents Island Universe, an installation composed of five chromed aluminium and blown glass sculptures. The structures form spheres that depict the grouping of galaxies in the universe and lights symbolizing quasars (the most brilliant objects known to man). The starting point of this work are the chandeliers inside the New York Metropolitan Opera House, designed by Lobmeyr in 1965, the same year in which the first data in support of the Big Bang theory were made public. The work functions as a model of that theory of the origin of the universe." --Book Jacket.
