Book excerpt: Produced by the Warehouse Art Museum, the publication-Rediscovering Ruth Grotenrath: All Things Belong to This Earth-is a complement to the traveling retrospective exhibition of the same name with essays by Annemarie Sawkins and Jan Serr. New information is presented in the form of a "Personal Remembrance" by artist Jan Serr and in an essay on Ruth Grotenrath (1912-1988) that fleshes out her life and career as a Milwaukee-based artist, who received national attention. It begins with black-and-white images made for her Riverside High School yearbook (1929), her early social realism for the Work Progress Administration (WPA), covers her decades as a printmaker, and continues in the 1960s though '80s with her creation of a personal modern art practice, for which she is best known. The full-color catalogue, designed by Jena Sher, will feature newly discovered and never-before-seen art by Grotenrath plus new information on her paintings, textiles, and ceramic work. The publication notes her embrace of Zen Buddhism and includes a new reading of her experiences in Japan based on diary entries and the influence this had on her work.The 78-page full-color catalogue includes a wide variety of images from the early, middle, and late chapters of Grotenrath's career. Curated by Annemarie Sawkins with the Warehouse Art Museum, the publication includes both familiar and revelatory details about Grotenrath, the influences on her career, which ranged from European modern masters to the art and architecture of Japan, and shows that the artist was a pioneer during an area of when successful women artists were not so prevalent in society.
Download or read book Smoke and Mirrors written by Jan Serr and published by Plumb Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan Serr is a photographer who is a painter and a painter who is a photographer. In this book she has created a body of work focused on color and composition, with no regard for traditional photography or painting. Smoke & Mirrors is a book of painterly photographs. All of which is one of the reasons she is drawn to India and China. (Smoke & Mirrors: India Photographs is published simultaneously with Then & Now: China Photographs.) In both cultures there is a continuity of art and design, content and form, without the false dichotomies that divide and unfortunately permeate Western thinking, values, and practices. In India and China, the past is perpetually present. Serr worked on every aspect of the book--image, composition, typography, paper, and binding. Smoke & Mirrors is a portfolio of photographs where the book itself is a primary form of art.
Download or read book JoAnna Poehlmann written by Barbara Brown Lee and published by Plumb Press. This book was released on 2015-01-10 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JoAnna Poehlmann once told Barbara Brown Lee, "I have all these ideas in my head and I'm afraid I'm going to run out of time. I'm afraid I'm not going to get everything done." JoAnna Poehlmann: Now and Then is witness to all these ideas. With over a hundred images and in three essays Poehlmann and her work are introduced to the larger audience. In her essay Barbara Brown Lee introduces us to her friend and lets us see the keen, meticulous artist with a wry sense of humor that peaks though all her work. Then Barbara Manger records Poehlmann's history and reveals the variety of techniques and concepts she has explored in her long, successful career. From scientific drawings and silverpoint to large lithographic stones, Poehlmann uses her skill to explore the natural world and pay homage to the artists who have preceded her. As her concepts expanded, she added collage, found objects, and xerography to her toolbox. In the final essay John Shannon explores Poehlmann's work in relationship to historic artistic themes and modern, contemporary art concepts.Most importantly, Now and Then beautifully presents the work. Kate Hawley's layout and Robb Quinn's photography let the work dominate the page. We see Poehlmann travel from intimate drawings through collage and collection to her current Travel Troves and Homages.Poehlmann's unique observations, disciplined craft, and humor (the Seventh Sense according to Poehlmann) show her to be a truely modern artist. Joanna Poehlmann; Now and Then gives us, her audience, a better chance to explore what she has created.

Book excerpt: During the early nineties, Lucinda Devlin systematically took photographs of gas chambers, injection rooms, electric chairs and death cells in rural towns and cities in the United States. She entitled the series "Omega Suites" -- alluding to the final letter of the Greek alphabet as a metaphor for the end. Seemingly an examination of the death penalty, her austere, haunting images are actually metaphors that question the culture in America, where 70 percent of citizens support the death penalty.

Download or read book Roy Staab written by and published by Plumb Press. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue was published in conjunction with an exhibition at Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum featuring the work of Roy Staab. Although monumental in scale, Staab's installations are ephemeral and subject to the destructive forces of nature. Made from local materials and constructed on site, his work frames and reflects its surroundings. Staab sketches his preliminary drawing directly on the ground with string or twigs. Using his body as brush, fulcrum, and shuttle, Staab weaves precise, geometric forms that interact with the surrounding space and the land or water below. Shadows or reflections multiply and complicate the floating lines, changing with passing clouds and the angle of the sun. The work lasts only in photographs. Soon after completing each sculpture, Staab records an image and then lets nature reclaim his work. Shadow Dance is the first sculpture to be commissioned for the grounds of the Villa Terrace. Installed along the central axis of the Renaissance Garden, Staab's installation consists of interlocking circles of reeds suspended from willow stakes. Although he reintroduces wild elements to the formal gardens, he does so using a shared language of structure, control, and symmetry. To encounter the work goes beyond viewing: attributes include the smell of the ground, the warmth and chill of sun and cloud, the sound of birds and traffic, lapsing time, changing light, and the physical interaction of moving toward, around, and through the installation. Suspended in Time surveys Roy Staab's previous environmental installations through photographs and video recordings. The images capture the variety of his artistic expressions: constructions of willow, reed, and bamboo levitate over land or water; footprints spiral through mud or snow; and images of circles, stars, and calligraphic lines trace the artist's eloquent interventions in the natural world. While traditional landscape paintings seek to represent nature in art, Staab's installations present art within nature. The photographs re-present these works as two-dimensional images suspended in time

Download or read book Let Something Good Be Said written by Frances E. Willard and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-04-22 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive collection of speeches and writings of one of America's most important social reformers Celebrated as the most famous woman in America at the time of her death in 1898, Frances E. Willard was a leading nineteenth-century American temperance and women's rights reformer and a powerful orator. President of Evanston College for Ladies (before it merged with Northwestern University) and then professor of rhetoric and aesthetics and the first dean of women at Northwestern, Willard is best known for leading the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), America's largest women's organization. The WCTU shaped both domestic and international opinion on major political, economic, and social reform issues, including temperance, women's rights, and the rising labor movement. In what Willard regarded as her most important and far-reaching reform, she championed a new ideal of a powerful, independent womanhood and encouraged women to become active agents of social change. Willard's reputation as a powerful reformer reached its height with her election as president of the National Council of Women in 1888. This definitive collection follows Willard's public reform career, providing primary documents as well as the historical context necessary to clearly demonstrate her skill as a speaker and writer who addressed audiences as diverse as political conventions, national women's organizations, teen girls, state legislators, church groups, and temperance advocates. Including Willard's representative speeches and published writings on everything from temperance and women's rights to the new labor movement and Christian socialism, Let Something Good Be Said is the first volume to collect the messages of one of America's most important social reformers who inspired a generation of women to activism.
