Download or read book Tate Introductions Lichtenstein written by Nathan Dunne and published by Tate Enterprises Ltd. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roy Lichtenstein is one of the best-known and accessible artists of the pop art generation of the 1960s. Taking much of his subject matter from comic strips and popular advertising, Lichtenstein produced large, rigorous and highly stylised paintings such as "Whaam!" and "Drowning Girl". Challenged on the originality of his work, Lichtenstein maintained that its purpose and presentation made it more than just reproduction, and with his characteristic playfulness argued that the purpose of his art was not to be original at all. Lichtenstein's imagery has endured through the decades and is still as iconic as it was fifty years ago, as this fascinating introduction to his life and work proves.This consice book, written by Nathan Dunne, a writer and the editor of Tarkovsky (2008), is the perfect introduction to the life and work of this pop artist and painter.

Download or read book Tate Introductions Warhol written by Stephanie Straine and published by Tate Enterprises Ltd. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central figure in pop art, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was one of the most significant and influential artists of the later twentieth century. In the 1960s he began to explore the growing interplay between mass culture and the visual arts, and his constant experimentation with new processes for the dissemination of art played a pivotal role in redefining access to culture and art as we know it today. • At the height of his fame, Warhol claimed he was "abandoning" painting, shifting his practice towards a commitment to the theoretically limitless channels ofpublishing, film, fashion, music, and broadcasting. It was this "transmission" of art and radical ideas that embodied his ethical conviction that "art should be for everyone". • Stephanie Straine is Assistant Curator at Tate Liverpool, and specialises in American art of the 1960s. Her lively yet authoritative text provides the perfect introduction to the life and work of a pioneering artist whose legacy extends into the digital age.

Download or read book Henry Moore On Being a Sculptor written by Henry Moore and published by Tate Enterprises Ltd. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Spencer Moore (1898-1986) was arguably the most influential British sculptor of the twentieth century. Brought up in Castleford in Yorkshire, Moore ended his life completing commissions for large-scale public sculptures in countries around the world. The scale of Moore's success in later life has tended to obscure the radical nature of his achievement. Rejecting the influence of his teachers and inspired by works from other cultures he saw in museums, Moore championed direct carving, evolving abstract sculptures derived from the human body. He was involved in the modernist Seven and Give Society and later in Unit One. Written by Henry Moore in the 1930s, these three powerful, polemical texts lay out his ideas about sculpture, calling for truth to materials, openness to other sculptural traditions and understanding of the importance of scale. Illustrated with archival photographs and with an introduction by his daughter Mary Moore, this book gives new insights into Moore's working methods and inspiration and speaks directly to artists today.
