Download or read book The Utopian Globalists written by Jonathan Harris and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE UTOPIAN GLOBALISTS “Crossing continents, historical periods and cultural genres, Jonathan Harris skilfully traces the evolution of utopian ideals from early modernism to the spectacularised and biennialised (or banalised as some would say) contemporary art world of today.” Michael Asbury, University of the Arts, London The Utopian Globalists is the second in a trilogy of books by Jonathan Harris examining the contours, forces, materials and meanings of the global art world, along with its contexts of emergence since the early twentieth century. The first of the three studies, Globalization and Contemporary Art (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), anatomized the global art system through an extensive anthology of over 30 essays contextualized through multiple thematic introductions. The final book in the series, Contemporary Art in a Globalized World (forthcoming, Wiley-Blackwell), combines the historical and contemporary perspectives of the first and second books in an account focused on the ‘mediatizations’ shaping and representing contemporary art and its circuits of global production, dissemination and consumption. This innovative and revealing history examines artists whose work embodies notions of revolution and human social transformation. The clearly structured historical narrative takes the reader on a cultural odyssey that begins with Vladimir Tatlin’s constructivist model for a ‘Monument to the Third International’ (1919), a statement of utopian globalist intent, via Picasso’s 1940s commitment to Soviet communism and John and Yoko’s Montreal ‘Bedin’, to what the author calls the ‘late globalism’ of the Unilever Series at London’s Tate Modern. The book maps the ways artists and their work engaged with, and offered commentary on, modern spectacle in both capitalist and socialist modernism, throughout the eras of the Russian Revolution, the Cold War and the increasingly globalized world of the past 20 years. In doing so, Harris explores the idea that the utopian -globalist lineage in art remains torn between its yearning for freedom and a deepening identification with spectacle as a media commodity to be traded and consumed.

Download or read book Writing Back to Modern Art written by Jonathan Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here for the first time is a full-length study of the 'critical modernisms' of the three leading art writers of the second half of the twentieth century, which helps us build a better understanding of the development of modern art writing and its relation to the 'post-modern' in art and society since the 1970s. Focusing on canonical modern artists such as Manet, Cezanne, Picasso and Pollock, this book provides an important understanding of writing and criticism in modern art for all students and scholars of art theory and art history. Mainstay issues discussed include aesthetic evaluation, subjectivity and meaning in art and art writing. Jonathan Harris examines key discourses and identifies points of significant overlap as well as sharp disjunction between the critics. Developing the notions of 'good' and 'bad' complexity in modernist criticism, Writing Back to Modern Art creates ways for us to think outside of these discourses of value and meaning and helps us to look at the place that art writing holds in the latter twentieth century and beyond.
Download or read book Picasso written by Josep Palau i Fabre and published by Ediciones Polígrafa S.A.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pablo Picasso (1181-1973) is without doubt the most prolific and influential artist of the recently ended twentieth century. The various steps that critics and historians have managed to identify in his long career have been more helpful with regard to the classification of his works than in their analysis and interpretation. Abandoning the traditional use of subject matter to achieve variety and meaning, Picasso gradually reduced his options to a handful of standardized motifs but used a vast array of different styles as the principal means of communicating ideas and feelings. In short, style is meaning in Picasso's art; his notorious mercurial nature found expression in stylistic variety and experimentation. In the course of his long essay, Josep Palau I Fabre pinpoints the keys to understanding a period (1926-1939) and an artist who was fully aware of the complexity of his time and the timelessness of true art: "Repeatedly, I am asked to explain how my painting evolved. To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the Great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past; perhaps it's more alive today than it ever was." SELLING POINTS: *If there is truly a monumental study of Picasso, this is it without any doubt, the fruit of thirty years work by Josep Palau I Fabre *Essential reading for the most demanding museum curators and art historians-we are dealing here with the most cited source in essays and biographies written in recent decades-Palau I Fabre's approach to Picasso's work is extremely intelligent and clear, displaying a depth and elegance only within the grasp of the greatest narrators *With more than 1200 illustrations, this volume documents all of Picasso's major works from the middle of the 1920s to the end of the Spanish Civil War *Once again Palau I Fabre offers scholars fresh insights as well as sharing his extraordinary knowledge of Picasso with readers new to the artist 1200 images
Download or read book In Defiance of Painting written by Christine Poggi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of collage by Picasso and Braque in 1912 proved to be a dramatic turning point in the development of Cubism and Futurism and ultimately one of the most significant innovations in twentieth-century art. Collage has traditionally been viewed as a new expression of modernism, one allied with modernism's search for purity of means, anti-illusionism, unity, and autonomy of form. This book - the first comprehensive study of collage and its relation to modernism - challenges this view. Christine Poggi argues that collage did not become a new language of modernism but a new language with which to critique modernism. She focuses on the ways Cubist collage - and the Futurist multimedia work that was inspired by it - undermined prevailing notions of material and stylistic unity, subverted the role of the frame and pictorial ground, and brought the languages of high and low culture into a new relationship of exchange.
Download or read book Picasso Braque L ger and the Cubist Spirit 1919 1939 written by Kenneth Wayne and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents art and design in France during the years between the two World Wars, in an effort to dispel the perception that Cubism was only a pre-World War I phenomenon. After the war, Cubist painting became more varied, colorful, and accessible, and began to affect other media such as furniture, fashion, cinema and architecture. What had begun as a rarefied pictorial style became a popular language. The first essay addresses Picasso's abundant and varied cubist painting. The second essay treats the art of three major Cubists -- Picasso, Braque, and Leger -- in the context of the various cubist idioms that developed. The third essay, also broad in scope, examines the significant relationship between Cubism and the decorative arts in France.

Download or read book Cubism written by Emily Braun and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume tells the story of Cubism through twenty-two essays that explore the most significant private holding of Cubist art in the world today, the Leonard A. Lauder Collection, now a promised gift to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The eighty works featured in this volume—by Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, and Pablo Picasso‐are among the most important and visually arresting in the movement’s history. These masterpieces, critical to the development of Cubism, include such groundbreaking paintings as Braque’s Trees at L’Estaque, considered one of the very first Cubist pictures; Picasso’s Still Life with Fan: “L’Indépendant,” one of the first to introduce typography; Gris’s noirish, uncanny The Man at the Café, one of his most celebrated collages; and Léger’s uniquely ambitious Composition (The Typographer). Written by renowned experts on this subject, the essays trace the evolution of Cubism from its origins in the still lifes, portraits, and collages of Braque and Picasso through the precisely delineated compositions by Gris that prefigure the Synthetic Cubism of the war years to Léger’s distinctive intersections of spherical, cylindrical, and cubic forms that evoke the syncopated rhythms of modern life. Also included are a fascinating interview in which Leonard Lauder discusses his approach to collecting, an investigative essay on the information gleaned from the backs of the works themselves, and an authoritative catalogue that further establishes the lives of these magnificent objects. A publication to place alongside the great histories of Modernism, this comprehensive book will stand as the resource for understanding Cubism for many years to come. -

Download or read book Odd Man Out written by Carol M. Armstrong and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Odd Man Out, Carol Armstrong offers an important study of Edgar Degas's work and reputation. Armstrong grapples with contradictory portrayals of Degas as "odd man out" within the modernist canon: he was a realist whom realists rejected; a storyteller in pictures who did not satisfy novelist-critics; a painter of modern life who was not a modernist; a member of the impressionist group who was no impressionist. Armstrong confronts these and other paradoxes by analyzing the critical vocabularies used to describe Degas's work. By reading several groups of the artist's images through the lens of a sequence of critical texts, Armstrong shows how our critical and popular expectations of Degas are overturned and subverted. This is a reprint of the book first published by the University of Chicago Press in 1991.
Download or read book Picasso MOA written by Hans Ludwig C. Jaffé and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 1964 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is one to write about a man who is himself a legend? Pablo Picasso--no artist's name is more famous today, no artist's work more widely known. To do him full justice would require volumes; on the other hand, a mere sketch reduces an Olympian to a stick figure. This book is neither a compendious study, nor a brief survey/ With its text, picture commentaries, and lavish illustrations in color and in black-and-white, the reader will find his way to an introductory view or a concentrated review--depending on his previous knowledge of the master's career--of the full sweep of Picasso's phenomenal diversity and abundance. A powerful imagination surges through Picasso's art, constantly changing the course of his work--which, however, always reflects the passage of the human spirit through the vicissitudes of life. New styles, new forms, new materials--we have come to expect these from Picasso, but we can never anticipate them. No artist of our era, and perhaps none in the history of art, can match Picasso's forceful variety, which ranges from his protean talent as a young man to his later, impetuous espousal of techniques, materials, world events, and most recently, of masterworks by other painters, in which he acknowledges his kinship with their genius. Paintings, sculptures, ceramics, graphic art of many kinds; Blue Period, Cubism, Surrealism--one can easily become bewildered among there many facets of Picasso's art. Yet with this text and these illustrations we begin to recognize a man of our time, a warm, suffering, triumphant, intimate, formidable human being, prodigiously gifted but not unknowable. Picasso is more than a legend; as our greatest artist today, his works are ours to discover, to admire, and to make our own. This book seeks to guide the reader to this privileged goal--book jacket flap.
