Download or read book London s New Scene written by Lisa Tickner and published by Paul Mellon Centre BA. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking and extensively researched account of the 1960s London art scene In the 1960s, London became a vibrant hub of artistic production. Postwar reconstruction, jet air travel, television arts programs, new color supplements, a generation of young artists, dealers, and curators, the influx of international film companies, the projection of “creative Britain” as a national brand—all nurtured and promoted the emergence of London as “a new capital of art.” Extensively illustrated and researched, this book offers an unprecedented, rich account of the social field that constituted the lively London scene of the 1960s. In clear, fluent prose, Tickner presents an innovative sequence of critical case studies, each of which explores a particular institution or event in the cultural life of London between 1962 and 1968. The result is a kaleidoscopic view of an exuberant decade in the history of British art.

Download or read book British Pop Art and Postmodernism written by Justyna Stępień and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Pop Art was seen as an integral, even central, part of social change in the Sixties. It was a movement that developed innovative ways of dealing with reality, both reflecting on and participating in the culture. Its aesthetics was often homogeneous with the industrial, with the mass-produced, and, hence, with the artificial, manufactured character of the urban environment. This discontinuity in the traditional approach towards artistic creation furthered the globalization of diversity, which constitutes the abiding concerns of postmodern art. Drawing from postmodern thought and cultural analysis, this book critically examines British Pop Art within the broad interdisciplinary domain of the social and cultural changes that led to flexibility in conceptualization, and provides a contribution to the artistic processes which form and deform the cultural sphere, confirming its relevance to current debates in which questions of postmodern aesthetics prominently figure.

Download or read book Pop Art written by Tilman Osterwold and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Everything is beautiful,"" raved Andy Warhol, in raptures at the glamour of modern life, consumer society, the world of the media and its stars. And in so saying, he was expressing the feelings of a generation who felt their age was dawning, an age of ""love"" and ""freedom."" In art, too, a new attitude towards the present was making itself felt. Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, Richard Hamilton and many other artists were discovering Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Coca Cola, comics, advertising, household appliances and food cans as an independent aesthetic reality. Popularity and triviality were no longer terms of abuse, but were central to a new understanding of an art whose aim was to break down the barriers between art and life. The author gives us a detailed account of the styles, themes and sources of Pop Art, investigating its development in different countries and providing biographies of its leading exponents.

Book excerpt: The Handbook of Modern British Painting and Printmaking 1900-1990 has been designed for people who enjoy, study and buy British art. The only portable dictionary-style guide to the life and work of modern British painters and printmakers, the book provides information on some 2,000 artists, as well as entries on schools of art, on museums, galleries and collections, on societies and groups, and critics and patrons who have influenced the development of modern art in Britain.

If the artist was foreign born, he or she is included if they resided in Britain, and exhibited or worked here long enough for their presence to be of significance for British art.

Download or read book Allen Jones written by Allen Jones and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prints form an integral part of Allen Jones's creative processes and are as important to him as painting and sculpture. It is therefore scarcely surprising that, ever since his student days, he has produced a steady stream of graphic works, mainly lithographs, but also screenprints and some etchings. Centring on the human figure, Jones's images exude a guilt-free eroticism and an unrestrained joie de vivre rare in British art. Sometimes misinterpreted as sexist, this imagery, like that of Derek Boshier, David Hockney, R. B. Kitaj and Peter Phillips, Jones's contemporaries at the Royal College of Art, London, in the early 1960s, is both a eulogy and a critique of consumerism. This book, published to coincide with a travelling exhibition of the artist's prints, is the first complete catalogue of Jones's work in this field. Containing reproductions of all the artist's graphics, many of them photographed specially for the occasion, it celebrates over thirty-five years of a major artist's activity as a master printmaker.

Book excerpt: The techniques utilized, however, varied: the Americans generally used a more reductive method, arriving at a centralized iconic image, while the British preferred an episodic approach that generated an implied narrative.
