Book excerpt: "Carole A. Feuerman's sculpture combines superrealist technique with a humanist approach to her subjects. This first monograph on her work is filled with David Finn's dramatic photographs covering two decades of her work, including many enlarged details and multiple views, providing a cinematic, almost three-dimensional experience. The work - in resin, cast marble, bronze, and other materials, often painted - ranges from early erotic reliefs through full-scale sculptures of athletes and nudes. Her women at their toilette are sculptural tours-de-force, yet their intimacy recalls Degas's works on similar themes. Recent fragments and body mappings are experiments with abstraction, deconstruction and conceptualism, at the same time that they explore the emotional life of their subjects penetrating to their spirit." "All of Feuerman's work reflects the two aspects of her vision. Her work is motivated by questions about the nature of reality, and her remarkable skill as an artist leads the viewer to the same questions. Yet beyond the simulacrum of reality, Feuerman also manages to convey the feeling behind the intense physicality, the passion and sensuality behind the seemingly mundane pose."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Psychedelic written by David Rubin and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 2010-03-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This eye-popping book offers a visual history of the psychedelic sensibility. In pop culture, that sensibility is associated with lava lamps, album covers, and "teashades," but it first manifested itself in the extreme colors and kaleidoscopic compositions of 1960s Op Artists. The psychedelic sensibility didn't die at the end of the 1960s; Psychedelic traces it through the day-glo colors of painters Peter Saul, Alex Grey, and Kenny Scharf, the pill and hemp leaf paintings of Fred Tomaselli, the intensified palettes of Douglas Bourgeois and Sharon Ellis, and mixed-media and new media works by younger artists in the new millennium." "Although the term "psychedelic" was coined to describe hallucinatory experiences produced by drugs used psychotherapeutically, the story these images tell is about the influence of psychedelic culture on the art world - not necessarily the influence of drugs. As contemporary art evolved into a diverse and pluralistic discipline, the psychedelic evolved into a language of color and light. In Psychedelic, more than seventy-five vivid color images chart this development, exploring the art chronologically, from early Op Art through recent work using digital technology. The book, which accompanies an exhibition organized by the San Antonio Museum of Art, includes three essays that set the works in historical and cultural context." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Feuerman written by Demetrio Paparoni and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive illustrated monograph to date on major American artist Carole A. Feuerman, a pioneer of hyperrealism in sculpture. Carole Feuerman is best known for her figurative sculptures depicting swimmers and dancers. She is the only woman to sculpt in this style, creating lifelike works for both indoor and outdoor spaces. During the rise of postmodernism in the mid-seventies, Feuerman drew inspiration from historical imagery and styles while creating 3D illustrations for prominent magazines and tour publications, featuring rock icons like the Rolling Stones and Alice Cooper. Her debut life casting in 1975, showcased on the cover of the National Lampoon, marked a significant artistic achievement. Transitioning into the late 1970s, Feuerman delved into creating fragmented erotic compositions, adding complexity to her work. As a narrative artist, she infuses her sculptures with symbolic depth, inviting viewers into a dialogue. Informed by postmodernist thought, the 1980s saw Feuerman creating lifelike, full-figure superrealistic sculptures, solidifying her artistic career and legacy. Her passion for water and the ocean stems from her childhood at the beach. Feuerman describes the sensation of water droplets on her skin after swimming and the intricate patterns they formed as captivating. The beach became her sanctuary—a place of escape and tranquility. During a beach outing with her children, she encountered a swimmer with water droplets streaming down her face, radiating a sense of pride and accomplishment. This encounter catalyzed her first swimmer sculpture titled Catalina (1978). This lavishly illustrated book covers Feuerman’s entire career spanning five decades, and features more than 200 works.
