Download or read book Make it Modern written by Brandon Taylor and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating journey through Western art from the 1910s to the 1960s, charting how artists wrestled with the headlong changes of a turbulent and conflict-ridden world From the chaos of the First World War to the ravages of the Second, from the Great Depression to the rise of consumer culture, artists we call "modern" faced the challenge of responding imaginatively to utterly new circumstances of life. Original thought, startling artistic techniques, and new attitudes to experimentation were required to produce exceptional and timely work. Make It Modern guides the reader through the art of the modern world. Works of celebrated artists, from Pablo Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky to Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, and Yayoi Kusama, alongside a panoply of undervalued or less-known figures, populate this decade-by-decade narrative. Make It Modern tells an unforgettable story of how art was changed forever.
Download or read book Since 1950 written by Charles Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an original and incisive contribution to the discussion of modern and postmodern art and of the theories by which it has been influenced and explained, from someone who has been closely involved in the art of this period as practitioner, teacher, critic, and historian. In a series of compelling and finely argued essays, Charles Harrison offers an acute analysis of the seismic shift that took place when the modernist formalism that had underpinned thinking about art in the first half of the century came to be seen as a spent force. Harrison's principal concern is with the circumstances and consequences of that shift--in thought about art, and in criticism. He asks how the diverse art of this period is to be understood and on what basis judgments are to be made about the merits and importance of specific works.
Download or read book Elements of Abstraction written by Alan Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The artists featured include Gillian Ayres, Ian Davenport, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, Roger Hilton, Howard Hodgkin, Callum Innes, Peter Lanyon, Ben Nicholson, Victor Passmore and others. Abstract art has puzzled and stimulated viewers since the origins of modern art. Today it continues to offer sensations of unparalleled pleasure and complexity; both seeming to simplify nature's appearances while at the same time revealing structures arising from the artists' own analysis of visual phenomena. Many of the forms of abstract art are based on geometrical, musical, biological or cosmic rhythms. Such values are rarely examined in books and exhibitions today, though public curiosity about abstract art has seldom been higher. This publication aims to re-open the debate on how abstract art exists, and why.
Download or read book Artists and Patrons in Post war Britain written by Courtauld Institute of Art and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. An examination of art and patronage in Britain during the post-war years. It consists of five case studies, initially written as MA theses, that closely investigate aspects of the mechanisms of patronage outside the state institutions, while indicating structural links within it. The writers have sought to elucidate the relationship between patronage, the production of art and its dissemination. Without seeking to provide an inclusive account of patronage or art production in the early post-war years, their disparate and highly selective papers set up models for the structure of patronage under specific historical conditions. They assume an understanding that works of art are embedded in their social contexts, are products of the conditions under which they were produced, and that these contexts and conditions are complex, fluid and imbricated in one another.
