Download or read book Joachim Wtewael written by Anne W. Lowenthal and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dutch history painter Joachim Wtewael is widely admired for his astonishing small paintings on copper. The Getty Museum's Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan is one of his finest works in this unusually demanding medium. Though only eight inches high, this Mannerist painting contains eleven figures in three different spaces, captured in a dramatically charged moment from the famous story told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses. The author's detailed analysis of Wtewael's painting also serves as a fine introduction to Dutch art of the Golden Age. Illustrated with seventy reproductions of paintings, drawings, etchings, and decorative objects, Anne W. Lowenthal's study ranges over the broad historical and cultural context in which Mars and Venus was created.

Download or read book Roman Signer sculpting in time anl sslich der Ausstellung Sculpting in Time gemeinsam von St Paul St und Artspace in Auckland written by Roman Signer and published by Kerber Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Signer is one of the most important and influential contemporary Swiss artists. Over many decades, in a great variety of ways, he has single-mindedly researched the aspect of time with regard to the meaning of sculpture. His spectacular explosions made him famous, and his reputation as an innovative and unique artist was secured, at the very latest, by his participation in Skulpturen Projekte, Münster 1997, and the Venice Biennial in 1999 representing Switzerland. In this book Brian Butler and Leonhard Emmerling develop a new interpretation of Signer's work by concentrating on the video pieces and by attempting to shed light on the temporal aspect of his work using literature and philosophy as points of reference. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Roman Signer: Sculpting in Time, March - May 2008 at ST PAUL Street Gallery and ARTSPACE, Auckland.

Download or read book Hans Memling written by Barbara G. Lane and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Memling was the leading painter in Bruges during the last quarter of the fifteenth century, receiving commissions from patrons in England, Germany and Italy as well as Flanders itself. For the Romantics of the nineteenth century, he ranked even above Jan van Eyck as the greatest of the Flemish primitives. By the middle of the twentieth century, however, his exalted reputation had declined sharply under the shadow of his presumed teacher, Rogier van der Weyden. In 1953, Panofsky labelled Memling a major minor master, leading subsequent writers to consider him unworthy of serious study. It was only in 1994, the five-hundredth anniversary of his death, that the major exhibition on Memling in Bruges launched a veritable flood of publications on his life and work, finally granting him the recognition he deserves.This book contributes to the ongoing reappraisal of Memling by addressing some of the tantalizing problems that remain unresolved despite much recent study of his work. Beginning with the question of his training, the text follows him on his Wanderjahre from his native Germany to Bruges, where he became a citizen in 1465. It then considers his activities as a master painter in Bruges, concentrating on the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, including the work of such major artists as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.

Download or read book Lens based sculpture written by Akademie der Künste and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exhibition Lens Based Sculpture explores contemporary sculpture's relationship and indebtedness to photography and the ways in which photography has transformed sculpture as a medium. With over 200 displayed works by more than 70 international artists, Lens Based Sculpture develops the antiquated argument over the nature of these two mediums while bending the boundaries of their relationship to each other through an innovative curation by Bogomir Ecker, Raimund Kummer, Friedemann Malsch, and Herbert Molderings. The exhibition offers unique and interactive perspectives that challenge conceptions of depth, spatial-limits, and relational approaches to objects and methods of display.

Download or read book Unfinished History written by Francesco Bonami and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfinished History presents fifteen international artists who carry the burden of being both the last and the first generation of two millennia. The catalogue explores what is happening as one kind of contemporary art and culture (that of the West) suddenly faces another (that of the global). Many among the truly international roster of artists here hail from one place but live in another, and such mobility is indicative of the larger cultural interchange and flux which this book seeks to document. Italy, Sweden, South Africa, Zaire, Japan, Korea, France, Iran -- these are just some of the countries represented by artists such as Maurizio Cattelan, Yutaka Sone, and Shirin Neshat. Photography, installation, and architecture are included.

Download or read book The New D cor written by Ralph Rugoff and published by Hayward Gallery Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACEThese fleeting sketches are all republished by kind permission of the Editor of the DAILY NEWS, in which paper they appeared. They amount to no more than a sort of sporadic diary-a diary recording one day in twenty which happened to stick in the fancy-the only kind of diary the author has ever been able to keep. Even that diary he could only keep by keeping it in public, for bread and cheese. But trivial as are the topics they are not utterly without a connecting thread of motive. As the reader's eye strays, with hearty relief, from these pages, it probably alights on something, a bed-post or a lamp-post, a window blind or a wall.
