Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art" brings into sharp focus the rich diversity of an art movement that is now achieving full recognition in the art community at large. These two volumes encapsulate the lives and careers of nearly two hundred artists -- from such established masters as Luise Jiménez and Yolanda López to emerging new talents Xóchitl Cristina Gil and Vincent Valdez -- and presents representative samples of their work, faithfully reproduced in color. The full range of visual arts is established here, iwth more than six hundred individual works -- paintings, sculptures, installation, serigraphs, lithographs, photographs, digital works; some works traditional, others boldly controversial. Separate commentary helps to evaluate the work of each artist and to place it in the context of the movement. Additional thematic sections are included, illustrating Chicana/Chicano artists' explorations of subjects from the barrio to the border, from lowriders to El Día de los Muertos. -- From publisher's description.
Download or read book Einar Jamex de la Torre written by Museum of Glass: International Center for Contemporary Art and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The de la Torre brothers combine exquisitely ornate blown and flame-worked glass works with cheap, mass-produced knickknacks, plastic flowers, fake fur, painted coins, and other found objects. Their art is a skillful combination of disparate elements, appropriating content, meaning, and materials from both high and low cultures. This intersection of contrasting elements reflects their dual residence in Mexico and the United States. The de la Torres describe themselves as "Mexican-American bicultural artists," influenced by "the morbid humor of Mexican folk art, the absurd pageantry of Catholicism, and machismo" on the one hand, and fascinated by "the American culture of excess" on the other. These artists do not hesitate to confront preconceived notions about artistic materials, cultural identity, and political borders. Dividing their time between the studios they share in San Diego and San Antonio de las Minas, they cross the international border several times a week, which provides them with a "parallel appreciation of both cultures." Their status as both insider and outsider, neither Mexican nor American, underpins their artistic discourse. Einar and Jamex de la Torre includes an essay on the artists' work by Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, and an original interview with the artists by Gronk, a Los Angeles-based artist best known for his large-scale, site-specific murals.

Download or read book San Diego Surreal written by Susan M. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Diego Surreal looks at works in a variety of media over several decades, revealing the ways in which Surrealism's range of visual vocabulary and artistic strategies have seeped into our culture, while probing the impact the movement has had on artists in San Diego County. The exhibition focuses on the work of contemporary artists, including Althea Brimm, Hugo Crosthwaite, Marianela de la Hoz, the de la Torre brothers, Charles Glaubitz, Jeff Irwin, Cliff McReynolds, Lynn Schuette, Allison Schulnik, Walter Sutin, the late Jen Trute, and Perry Vasquez, but it also includes earlier 20th- century modernists who drew upon Surrealism such as Dorr Bothwell, Ethel Greene, Harry Sternberg, and Jean Swiggett. San Diego Surreal goes beyond overt comparisons between the work of the Surrealists and regional artists to explore the more idiosyncratic and subtle connections of visual, thematic, and philosophical references.There is a rich legacy of Surrealism in California. Several members of poet Andre Breton's original Surrealist group resided in the state, mainly as refugees during WWII. Therefore, for context, the exhibition will include the work of some of these historical Surrealists and others closely aligned with them, such as Claire Falkenstein, Hans Burkhardt, and Dorothea Tanning.In the decades since the founding of the movement in 1924, the Surrealist spirit has revolutionized the arts and pervaded social theory. Its legacy is found in the work of the Beat poets, the Marxist-inspired Situationist International, the countercultural movement of the 1960s, and punk. Today Surrealism inspires a plethora of avant-garde ideas and techniques among contemporary artists. The movement is enjoying a resurgence due to the political and social conditions of the times, with its accompanying climate of disillusionment and rebellion.
