Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, German art, more specifically West German painting, achieved a spectacular and surprising presence on the national and international art market. These artists were often referred to as 'Neo-expressionists' or 'New Wilds'. Many of the painters who became internationally acknowledged during this time are represented in this book. The works of artists who did not follow this particular path are also discussed. Since the Berlin Wall came down on 9 November 1989, the art scene in Germany has been stimulated also by a large number of artists who have been living and working in the former German Democratic Republic.

Download or read book Luc Tuymans written by Eva Meyer-Hermann and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in a catalogue raisonné of Tuymans's paintings surveys nearly 200 works from the vital early years of his career Credited with a key role in the revival of painting in the 1990s, Belgian artist Luc Tuymans (b. 1958) continues to produce subtle, and at times unsettling, works that engage with history, technology, and everyday life. This first volume in a catalogue raisonné of Tuymans's paintings surveys nearly 200 works that were vital to his artistic development. The years 1972 to 1994 witnessed the maturation of his signature method of painting from preexisting imagery--such as magazine images, Polaroids, and television footage--as well as his first solo exhibition. Also dating from this period are many of his seminal canvases, along with ten poignant portraits of the ailing human body and the enigmatic series Superstition that comprised his first works exhibited in the United States. The catalogue features brilliant new photography of each of the paintings and an illustrated chronology with archival images and installation shots of the works in this volume. This publication is a testament to Tuymans's persistent assertion of the relevance and importance of painting--a conviction that he maintains even in today's digital world, when his work continues to be a touchstone for artists and scholars.

Download or read book The Poetry of Reality written by Marjan van Heteren and published by Waanders Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The artistic work produced in the Netherlands a hundred years ago is characterized by enormous variety. Impressionism was still a strong influence, but young artists were exploring numerous other avenues as well. Some turned to new sources of inspiration such as Japanese art and symbolism, while others were pushing stylization to its limits. International schools were followed closely by the Dutch artists, many of whom stayed for months at a time in Paris, the South of France or London to study the new trends at close range. These developments, which roughly spanned the period 1885-1915, began with Van Gogh, and ended with Mondrian...This book explores the significance of this period of art on paper...The selection gives an excellent impression of the range of work produced on paper in the period around 1900."--back cover

In this book - the first major study of Joos in nearly eighty years - the foremost authority on the artist provides a complete and up-to-date account of Joos's life and works."

Hand then examines specific paintings in Joos's oeuvre, addressing a broad spectrum of topics concerning the artist's style, chronology, iconography, influences, and the wide range of his commission."--Jacket.
