Download or read book Morandi written by Flavio Fergonzi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) built his visual lexicon from the most minimal of props--dust-covered bottles, bowls, vases, pitchers, tins and boxes. From it, he composed delicious permutations of quiet still lifes, in the most muted yet luminous of palettes, transforming the genre of still life into a cosmos. The composer Morton Feldman once wrote that in his own work he was "interested in getting to Time in its unstructured existence... How Time exists before we put our paws on it," and in this sense Morandi may be his counterpart in paint: his painted objects seem to possess a subtle self-sufficiency and interiority. Accompanying a recent exhibition at the Phillips Collection, Washington D.C., this beautifully designed catalogue contains a selection of reproductions buttressed with two essays by Morandi experts: Flavio Fergonzi appraises the myths that have attached to Morandi, the history of his critical reception and the cities with which the artist was particularly associated; Elisabetta Barisoni discusses Morandi's reception in America.

Download or read book Giorgio Morandi Late Paintings written by Giorgio Morandi and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most beloved painters of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi created works that continue to exert their mysterious power on viewers worldwide. This publication focuses on the period from 1948 to 1964, during which Morandi developed and refined his investigations of serial, reductive, and permutational forms and compositions, a body of work that has had a profound influence on twentieth-century art and painting. Included here are five of the ten iconic “yellow cloth” paintings from 1952, a series featured prominently in the historic 1998 exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and numerous late paintings by the Italian master. Lavishly reproduced, these immersive plates draw attention to the idiosyncratic perspectival and color-driven decisions that give the work its abstract power. The catalogue is published on the occasion of the 2015 exhibition of Morandi’s paintings from this period at David Zwirner, New York—which, according to The New York Times, represent “lucid perfection, at once cerebral and impassioned.” It marked the first major presentation of the artist’s late work in America since the acclaimed 2008 retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. In addition to an essay by Laura Mattioli and a foreword by David Leiber, who organized the exhibition, this catalogue includes a fantastic array of contributions by contemporary artists: John Baldessari, Lawrence Carroll, Vija Celmins, Mark Greenwold, Liu Ye, Wayne Thiebaud, Alexi Worth, and Zeng Fanzhi. They offer their personal responses to Morandi’s work and to the Zwirner exhibition in particular. Working in different media across many disciplines, this diverse list of contributors is a testament to the reach of Morandi’s paintings and their influence on contemporary art.
Download or read book Exit Morandi Ediz illustrata written by Maria Cristina Bandera Viani and published by Forma Edizioni. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalogue of the exhibition hosted at the Museo Novecento in Florence, which originates from four important paintings belonging to Alberto Della Ragione. Morandi's greatness was immediately recognised by Roberto Longhi, who never ceased to examine the artist's human and intellectual discussion. Other critics who have constantly expressed great approval for the Bolognese artist include Cesare Brandi, Francesco Arcangeli, and Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti, that is, the cardinal points of twentieth century criticism concerning the art of the Bolognese master. This laid the foundation for a special exhibition project, which brings together works belonging to, or that have gravitated towards, the four illustrious art historians. It cements loyalty towards the silent and still painting of Morandi, who was a unique artist during a historical moment where his contemporaries moved towards Abstractism or Abstract Expressionism--Publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bristling and brilliant memoir of the mid-twentieth-century New York School of painters and their times by the renowned artist and critic Edith Schloss, who, from the early years, was a member of the group that shifted the center of the art world from Paris to New York The Loft Generation: From the de Koonings to Twombly; Portraits and Sketches, 1942–2011 is an invaluable account by an artist at the center of a landmark era in American art. Edith Schloss writes about the painters, poets, and musicians who were part of the postwar movements and about her life as an artist in New York and later in Italy, where she continued to paint and write until her death in 2011. Schloss was born in Germany and moved to New York City during World War II. She became part of a thriving community of artists and intellectuals that included Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Larry Rivers, John Cage, and Frank O’Hara. She married the photographer and filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt. She was both a working artist and an incisive critic, and was a candid and gimlet-eyed witness of the close-knit community that was redefining the world of art. In Italy she spent time with Giorgio Morandi, Cy Twombly, Meret Oppenheim, and Francesca Woodman. In The Loft Generation, Schloss creates a rare and irreplaceable up-close record of an era of artistic innovation and the colorful characters who made it happen. There is no other book like it. Her canny observations are indispensable reading for all critics and researchers of this vital period in American art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book This is the 25th volume of the series documenting the fictitious misadventures of the innocent or not so innocent therapist Dr. Nevius, and the 4th volume describing his post-mortem attempts to revive his revered suicided love, Moira Morandi. Here the prime energy is the alloying of psychiatry and politics, Dr. Nevius taking on the suicidal society as patient, with the help of his resurrected love—or without it. Dr. Nevius realizes that if he is to effectively act for the peaceful preservation of humanity, now is the time. About the Author Bert Nayfack has been involved in the mental health field for decades, working with the severely emotionally disturbed. He is presenting this work as part of an effort to integrate the ethics of psychiatry and transcendent spirituality into political action, if possible.

Download or read book Exit written by Stefan Helgesson and published by Brill Rodopi. This book was released on 2011 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If anything is certain in human existence, it is the exit. Before the universal yet radically singular event of death, however, history leaves its mark on us by determining which exits are possible, necessary or desirable. This collection of essays, which celebrates the achievement of the Swedish Africanist and postcolonial scholar Raoul Granqvist, deal with the broad theme of exit ¿ in the form of exile, displacement, suicide, endings and, indeed, beginnings. After all, ¿In my end is my beginning¿ (T.S. Eliot). Childhood as exit rite in contemporary African literature (Camara Laye¿s L¿Enfant Noir and Ishmael Beah¿s Long Way Gone); the Cameroonian director Jean Pierre Bekolo¿s controversial film Les Saignantes; an early play by Wole Soyinka; Ghana during the First World War; Zakes Mda¿s Cion; proto-nationalist writing on the Gold Coast; passing in Zoë Wicomb¿s Playing in the Light; the exile of South African and Caribbean writers; translation theory in the global South; public representations of Africans in north-east Bavaria; oral poetry in rural England; Fred Wah¿s Swedish-Chinese background in twentieth-century Canada; Toni Morrison¿s Beloved and infanticide; the open endings of the poetry of Paul Muldoon; the suicide of Virginia Woolf; the viability of global environmental policies ¿ these are some of the topics that this book, in defiance of neat disciplinary boundaries, addresses. The closing section, ¿Voicing the Exit,¿ transcends the academic format with its evocative literary representations of the experience of exit (in Tanzania, Uganda, Ukrainian Canada and elsewhere).

Download or read book Functional Web Development with Elixir OTP and Phoenix written by Lance Halvorsen and published by Pragmatic Bookshelf. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elixir and Phoenix are generating tremendous excitement as an unbeatable platform for building modern web applications. For decades OTP has helped developers create incredibly robust, scalable applications with unparalleled uptime. Make the most of them as you build a stateful web app with Elixir, OTP, and Phoenix. Model domain entities without an ORM or a database. Manage server state and keep your code clean with OTP Behaviours. Layer on a Phoenix web interface without coupling it to the business logic. Open doors to powerful new techniques that will get you thinking about web development in fundamentally new ways. Elixir and OTP provide exceptional tools to build rock-solid back-end applications that scale. In this book, you'll build a web application in a radically different way, with a back end that holds application state. You'll use persistent Phoenix Channel connections instead of HTTP's request-response, and create the full application in distinct, decoupled layers. In Part 1, start by building the business logic as a separate application, without Phoenix. Model the application domain with Elixir functions and simple data structures. By keeping state in memory instead of a database, you can reduce latency and simplify your code. In Part 2, add in the GenServer Behaviour to make managing in-memory state a breeze. Create a supervision tree to boost fault tolerance while separating error handling from business logic. Phoenix is a modern web framework you can layer on top of business logic while keeping the two completely decoupled. In Part 3, you'll do exactly that as you build a web interface with Phoenix. Bring in the application from Part 2 as a dependency to a new Phoenix project. Then use ultra-scalable Phoenix Channels to establish persistent connections between the stateful server and a stateful front-end client. You're going to love this way of building web apps! What You Need: You'll need a computer that can run Elixir version 1.5 or higher and Phoenix 1.3 or higher. Some familiarity with Elixir and Phoenix is recommended.
Download or read book The Lady Anatomist written by Rebecca Messbarger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714-74), a woman artist and scientist, surmounted meager origins and limited formal education to become one of the most acclaimed anatomical sculptors of the Enlightenment. The Lady Anatomist tells the story of her arresting life and times, in light of the intertwined histories of science, gender, and art that complicated her rise to fame in the eighteenth century. Examining the details of Morandi’s remarkable life, Rebecca Messbarger traces her intellectual trajectory from provincial artist to internationally renowned anatomical wax modeler for the University of Bologna’s famous medical school. Placing Morandi’s work within its cultural and historical context, as well as in line with the Italian tradition of anatomical studies and design, Messbarger uncovers the messages contained within Morandi’s wax inscriptions, part complex theories of the body and part poetry. Widely appealing to those with an interest in the tangled histories of art and the body, and including lavish, full-color reproductions of Morandi’s work, The Lady Anatomist is a sophisticated biography of a true visionary.
