Download or read book Depth of Shallow Culture written by Albert J. Bergesen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come take a closer look at ordinary footwear, like sneakers, or children's toys and Saturday cartoon TV shows, or make a comparison between Don Quixote and John Rambo of the Sylvester Stallone movie. Although some regard popular culture as "shallow," this book reveals that it is more often complex, deep, meaningful and subject to the style changes we associate with high art. Bergesen shows how complex philosophical ideas of reincarnation are embedded in Transformer toys; how sneakers have gone through a life cycle of style types; why the decline of empires like Spain and the United States led to fictional characters like Don Quixote and Rambo; and why monsters from Japan look different than those from the United States.
Download or read book Squeak Carnwath written by Karen Tsujimoto and published by SeaStar Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paintings of Squeak Carnwath (American, b. 1947), often subtly illuminated by meticulously applied layers of glaze, embody complex layers of meaning. "Paintings are not ordinary objects," the artist observes. "Painting is a carrier of meaning, of human touch. Each brush stroke or smear of pigment is freighted with philosophical inquiry." In Carnwath's works, rows of writing are placed to slow the eye, "to put the viewer in real time." Recurring motifs touch on personal and universal themes, from a rabbit tentatively seeking its place in a chaotic world to the seated blue Medicine Buddha, healer of ills and reminder of the latent Buddha nature in each of us. Published in conjunction with the exhibition organized by the Oakland Museum of California, Squeak Carnwath: Painting Is No Ordinary Object celebrates the wonder and spirit embodied in each of Carnwath's works. Over eighty full-color reproductions trace the development of the artist's distinctive style from the 1970s to the present, while essays by curator Karen Tsujimoto and art critic John Yau explore the personal, social, and artistic context of this powerful body of work. SQUEAK CARNWATH is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and an Individual Artist Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Carnwath received her MFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1977 and has taught at the University of California since 1982. Carnwath maintains a studio in Oakland, California, where she has lived and worked since 1970.
Download or read book Square Deal written by Sudha Achar and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-11-07 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I find making art is an dynamic process: from one moment to the next, one context to the next, one milieu to another, one medium to another. Shifting, changing, making the new and developing a personal language with a sense of grace. I like the end result to be multifaceted and encompass more than one way to reason. My works are not generally very available for compartmentalization. Some of them are abstract depictions. Some originate in fragments of my memory. Many or most originate in the unconscious. Some of them represent only their own form, emerging as 'poetics' of art making. In musical metaphor, then: geometry is gesture, movement is rhythm, harmony is resolution of dissonance and color is voice or instrument. Mood and emotions generated are: joy, tension, ebullience, anger, rage, sadness, blissful and more. Some of my works can be explored from normal viewing distance as well as from an intimate proximity to explore what they have to reveal. What is anticipated may be different than what will be discovered. As the distance shifts and details are revealed or muffled, then images, color fields, forms, textures and rhythms separate or coalesce in the fields of vision. Feelings generated continue to evolve. I like to create work where illusions are unstable and invite repeated explorations by the viewer. Initially, the works provoke a belief in a discovered image, emotion, rhythms and color harmonies. Look away and look again; there will be an entirely new and just as ambiguous structures and feelings. Additionally, the viewer will recreate my work by adapting it to personal frames of reference. The capacity of the work to co-opt existing expectations and be co-opted in return is the success of the work. A good painting is a conversation where emotions, time, space, process and the raw materials collide with the medium's illusionist possibilities. I believe it has less to do with managing the dialogue between materials and image. A blank canvas and tub of paint or a block of stone and chisels are nothing but materials, devoid of meaning. When I intervene and put them together, they emerge as a 'painting' or 'sculpture'. While they do exist on their own, they also become a point of departure for the viewer. In this book I am offering my small scale paintings. Painting, as drawing, is a primary activity. It is a very efficacious and enduring way to communicate. Infants draw and paint before acquiring language. 32,000 years ago the ancient inhabitants of the cave of Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc in France demonstrated extraordinary communication capacity, leaving a legacy of fantastic art work on the interior surfaces of the cave that still evokes intense emotional responses. We as humans will continue to inhabit interiors and paintings will continue to grace our walls as extraordinarily efficient communication modalities. At present, we are much divided, limited in our ability to influence events and their effect on our expanded, globalized world. All this is occurring while we are seemingly at the height of connectedness through digitization, internet and the social media and more. My art making offers me a physical record of my psychic impulses, binding them intimately and enduringly. It offers me a sense of integrity and completeness in this complex and fragmented post-modern society.

Download or read book How Art Works written by Ellen Winner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no end of talk and of wondering about 'art' and 'the arts.' This book examines a number of questions about the arts (broadly defined to include all of the arts). Some of these questions come from philosophy. Examples include: · What makes something art? · Can anything be art? · Do we experience "real" emotions from the arts? · Why do we seek out and even cherish sorrow and fear from art when we go out of our way to avoid these very emotions in real life? · How do we decide what is good art? Do aesthetic judgments have any objective truth value? · Why do we devalue fakes even if we -- indeed, even the experts--- can't tell them apart from originals? · Does fiction enhance our empathy and understanding of others? Is art-making therapeutic? Others are "common sense" questions that laypersons wonder about. Examples include: · Does learning to play music raise a child's IQ? · Is modern art something my kid could do? · Is talent a matter of nature or nurture? This book examines puzzles about the arts wherever their provenance - as long as there is empirical research using the methods of social science (interviews, experimentation, data collection, statistical analysis) that can shed light on these questions. The examined research reveals how ordinary people think about these questions, and why they think the way they do - an inquiry referred to as intuitive aesthetics. The book shows how psychological research on the arts has shed light on and often offered surprising answers to such questions.
