Book excerpt: This project celebrates everyday Black women through portraiture and supporting text. I use the power and universality of photography to show Black women in a positive, realistic, and honest light. They defy stereotypes, forge unique paths, and are exemplars of courage, tenacity, and resilience. This work promotes our similarities as human beings and dispels the notion that people of color are to be feared. Instead, it offers joy, insight, and inspiration.

Book Serena Bocchino

Download or read book Serena Bocchino written by Lisa A. Banner and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 25 years, Serena Bocchino has created art that energetically combines abstraction and expressionism with investigations into music, poetry, and dance. Bocchino is known primarily for her paintings, this American artist has also produced an impressive series of drawings and prints. Bocchino, growing up in a household with an artist mother always remembers making things. As a teen, she began oil painting and pastels and in College and Graduate School, she seriously pursued her studio practice majoring in studio art specifically painting and drawing. In 1985, Bocchino began to immerse herself in the New York Art World and began exhibiting her work professionally as an artist. Beginning in New York City's East Village to Tribeca to SoHo to the Lower East Side to Chelsea New York City, Bocchino has exhibited her work across the United States and Abroad. Her work method has developed from academic and traditional to the unique pouring method that she uses today. She has consistently worked on canvas and paper to explore and push parameters of the past in order to pioneer new processes. Utilizing paint and a variety of new materials, Bocchino continues to express an abstract dialogue with her work. This handsomely illustrated book is the first to document Bocchino's career as well as examine her work methodology and influences. The astute essays by Jonathan Goodman and Lisa A. Banner complemented by the contribution by Lily Zhang and a foreword by Kathleen Goncharov provide insights into Bocchino's paintings and drawings and the techniques she employs. Furthermore, these writings explore and analyze the idiosyncratic and deeply personal imagery that the artist creates. This book celebrates Serena Bocchino's inventive contributions to contemporary painting and drawing.?

Book Jersey Shore Impressionists

Download or read book Jersey Shore Impressionists written by Roy Pedersen and published by Down the Shore Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water and light have seduced artists through the years and the quality of these elements at the New Jersey Shore continues to attract artists to this day. Between the late 1800s and 1940, an inspired group of painters were drawn to the New Jersey coastline, forming communities of artists. Jersey Shore Impressionists breaks new ground in the history of American art by recognizing the distinct influence of New Jersey and its Shore on impressionist era American painters. This book establishes ¿ for the first time ¿ a category of impressionist American painters who focused on, or were profoundly influenced by, the landscapes and seascapes of this Shore ¿ from Sandy Hook and Highlands to the Barnegat Bay region to Cape May. ¿Not since 1964, nearly 50 years ago, and only once before that in 1938 has there been published a book on painters in New Jersey,¿ says the book¿s author, Roy Pedersen. ¿Never until now has there appeared a survey of the regional impressionist painters of New Jersey.¿ Jersey Shore Impressionists is produced in conjunction with an exhibition at the Morven Museum & Garden in Princeton, NJ., which seeks to examine how the New Jersey shore was home to artist colonies whose output rivaled that of the better-known colonies of Old Lyme and Cos Cob, Connecticut, and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In a Foreword, Richard J. Boyle, former director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, describes the foundation of art colonies, and how they traveled from origins in mid-nineteenth century France to the plein-air attraction of the Jersey Shore's ¿special light.¿ The first art colony ¿ at Manasquan ¿ forms around 1880 as young artists fresh from European training in Germany, France and Italy begin to arrive, and the book includes work from these artists ¿ Will Hicok Low, Theodore Robinson, Albert Grantley Reinhart, Charles Freeman and Caroline Coventry Haynes. The next generation ¿ Edward Boulton, Ida Wells Stroud, Julius Golz ¿ trained in America, join and form new colonies to paint the unique light as well as the activities of the Shore. The passionate work created by these artists stands as an important, but unsung, chapter of American Impressionism and is celebrated in this book, establishing the important contribution to American art in general, and New Jersey¿s cultural heritage in particular.

Book excerpt: The birthplace of graffiti, New York City, has evolved into a global center for street art. Its public surfaces host a range of media from handmade stickers and wheatpastes to huge installations and murals. Artists from across the globe routinely travel to New York City to grace its walls as they refashion the city into one huge never-ending unofficial street art festival. Among these are such contemporary urban legends as D'Face, Banksy, Os Gemeos, Case, MaClaim, Invader, Stik and Faith 47. Street Art NYC showcases both sanctioned and unsanctioned works captured in the course of a transformative decade that saw the emergence of over a dozen distinctly engaging projects. The hugely popular Bushwick Collective, L.I.S.A Project NYC and Welling Court Mural Project are highlighted with introductory essays. Local community-based projects and festivals, as well as those responding to specific environmental and social issues, are also represented. Banksy's one month 2013 residency, Better Out than In is documented with words and images. And homage is paid to the legendary 5 Pointz graffiti and street art mecca. Street Art NYC is is a beautifully designed hardcover book. The full color photographs by Lord K2 captures the art in the city, printed on thick coated paper, and Lois Stavsky's text provides the context. This is the only book to spotlight the transformational decade that marked the shift from largely unsanctioned to widely curated street art throughout New York City's five boroughs. This book is a collaboration between Lord K2, an award-winning photographer and curator of the online Museum of Urban Art and Lois Stavsky, a noted street art documentarian and editor of the popular blog, Street Art NYC.

Book Lubaya s Quiet Roar

Download or read book Lubaya s Quiet Roar written by Marilyn Nelson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stirring picture book about social justice activism and the power of introverts, a quiet girl's artwork makes a big impression at a protest rally. Newbery Honor winner Marilyn Nelson and fine artist Philemona Williamson have come together to create this lyrical, impactful story of how every child, even the quietest, can make a difference in their community and world. Young Lubaya is happiest when she's drawing, often behind the sofa while her family watches TV. There, she creates pictures on the backs of her parents' old protest posters. But when upsetting news shouts into their living room, her parents need the posters again. The next day her family takes part in a march, and there, on one side of the posters being held high, are Lubaya's drawings of kids holding hands and of the sun shining over the globe--rousing visual statements of how the world could be. "Lubaya's roar may not be loud, but a quiet roar can make history."
