Download or read book Gordon Newton written by Gordon Newton and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, Detroit-area collector James F. Duffy Jr. gave the Detroit Institute of Arts a vast collection of works on paper by Gordon Newton. This gift included over five hundred drawings, forty sketchbooks and sketchpads, two paintings, twelve pieces of sculpture, and folder after folder of archival materials related to the works of art and the artist. These gifts were combined with other works by Gordon Newton that the museum already owned to form an exhibition of the artist's work that spanned over three decades. Many of the works are included in this text, which highlights the breadth of Gordon Newton's art and explores the variety of themes and mediums he has used. Gordon Newton: Selections from the James F. Duffy Jr. Gift provides a rare opportunity to study an artist's work over an extended period of time, from his earliest black-and-white abstract drawings to the heavily layered, richly colored figurative images made within the past decade. Biographical information on Newton, as well as essays that focus on the style of his work and the historical and cultural artistic events shaping the times, is combined with 150 illustrations to make this an important study not only of a major artist, but of the creative process in general. Gordon Newton's art of the last thirty years is complex, beautiful, unpredictable, and always provocative. The essays in this book provide an in-depth look at selected works from the James F. Duffy gift.

Download or read book Art and Love in Renaissance Italy written by Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2008 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many famous artworks of the Italian Renaissance were made to celebrate love, marriage, and family. They were the pinnacles of a tradition, dating from early in the era, of commemorating betrothals, marriages, and the birth of children by commissioning extraordinary objects - maiolica, glassware, jewels, textiles, paintings - that were often also exchanged as gifts. This volume is the first comprehensive survey of artworks arising from Renaissance rituals of love and marriage and makes a major contribution to our understanding of Renaissance art in its broader cultural context. The impressive range of works gathered in these pages extends from birth trays painted in the early fifteenth century to large canvases on mythological themes that Titian painted in the mid-1500s. Each work of art would have been recognized by contemporary viewers for its prescribed function within the private, domestic domain."--BOOK JACKET.
