Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exhibition at the Palazzo Grazzi emphasizes the Guggenheim Museum's heritage of modern art by drawing on three different sources: the Thannhauser Collection (devoted mainly to works from the late 19th and early 20th centuries), the Museum's primary collection, and a selection of some of the most important works collected by Peggy Guggenheim. Rather than merely transporting an existing exhibition, Palazzo Grassi aims to stimulate deeper knowledge and understanding of modern art, tracing its transition from synthetic vision to an analytical vision of the world and illustrating the gap between the two. (Adapted from prefatory statement by Feliciano Benvenuti)

Book Pioneers of the Global Art Market

Download or read book Pioneers of the Global Art Market written by Christel H. Force and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the turn of the twentieth century, Paris was the capital of the art world. While this is usually understood to mean that Paris was the center of art production and trading, this book examines a phenomenon that has received little attention thus far: Paris-based dealers relied on an ever-expanding international network of peers. Many of the city's galleries capitalized on foreign collectors' interest by expanding globally and proactively cultivating transnational alliances. If the French capital drew artists from around the world-from Cassatt to Picasso-the contemporary-art market was international in scope. Art dealers deliberately tapped into a growing pool of discerning collectors in northern and eastern Europe, the UK, and the USA. International trade was rendered not just desirable but necessary by the devastating effects of wars, revolutions, currency devaluation and market crashes which stalled collecting in Europe. Pioneers of the Global Art Market assembles original scholarship based on a close inspection of and fresh perspective on extant dealer records. It caters to an amplified curiosity concerning the emergence and workings of our unprecedented contemporary-centric and global art market. This anthology fills a significant gap in the expanding field of art market studies by addressing how, initially, contemporary art, which is now known as historical modernism, made its way into collections: who validated what by promoting and selling it, where, and how. It includes unpublished material, concrete examples, bibliographical and archival references, and should appeal to academics, curators, educators, dealers, collectors, artists and art lovers alike. It celebrates the modern art dealer as transnational impresario, the global reach of the modern-art market, and the impact of traders on the history of collecting, and ultimately on the history of art.

Book Art  Medicine  and Femininity

    Book Details:
  • Author : Hannah Halliwell
  • Publisher : McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
  • Release : 2023-12-15
  • ISBN : 0228019915
  • Pages : 265 pages

Download or read book Art Medicine and Femininity written by Hannah Halliwell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Paris is the centre of the cult,” wrote Robert Hichens in Felix, his 1902 novel on the rising number of morphine addictions in Europe. In Paris, artists depicted the morphine addict numerous times, yet they disregarded the reality of France’s addiction problem: male medical professionals made up the highest proportion of people who used morphine habitually. In oil paintings, caricatures, and lithographs, artists such as Pablo Picasso, Eugène Grasset, and Théophile Steinlen almost always depicted the morphine addict as a deviant female figure. Artists sensationalized addiction to elicit shock and stand out in the crowded Parisian art market. Their artworks show influences from contemporary medical texts on addiction and artistic depictions of sex workers, lesbians, and other women deemed socially deviant. These images proliferated in French society, creating false narratives about who was or could become addicted to drugs and setting a precedent for the visualization of drug addiction. Hannah Halliwell links the feminization of addiction to broader anxieties in late nineteenth-century France – the defeat by Prussia in 1871, concerns about social decadence, a declining population, and a rising feminist movement. Art, Medicine, and Femininity presents a new understanding of the history of addiction and substance use and its intersection with art and gender.

Book The Real Van Gogh

  • Author : Vincent van Gogh
  • Publisher : Royal Academy Books
  • Release : 2010-04
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 312 pages

Download or read book The Real Van Gogh written by Vincent van Gogh and published by Royal Academy Books. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vincent van Gogh is one of the greatest figures in Western art. Revered for his bold, expressive paintings, he is also admired as a prodigious and eloquent letter writer. His correspondence displays a remarkable literary gift and an ability to communicate his ideas and feelings about nature, art and life in direct, emotive language." "Illustrated with works of art and letters that demonstrate Van Gogh's abiding preoccupations - the role of colour in painting, portraiture and the cycles of nature, for example - this fascinating book explores the correspondence as a self-portrait of the artist and the man. The letter-sketches that he used to describe completed works or those in progress are reproduced alongside the paintings or drawings on which they are based, providing a unique insight into his artistic development. Drawing on new and extensive research, leading authorities on Van Gogh reveal how the letters enhance and shape our view of this modern master." --Book Jacket.

  • Publisher : ARTE LIBRO
  • Release : 2015-06-15
  • ISBN : 9076417180
  • Pages : 138 pages

Download or read book ART is More written by Jan Laurens SIESLING and published by ARTE LIBRO. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book turns traditional art history inside out. Not styles or forms or movements or artists or art theories are its point of departure, but the reason for being of art in civilization. Since the very beginnings of society art has raised and responded to the existential questions of the human kind. The history of the arts is the history of those questions and from that angle art should be presented: here it is. When reading this book, unfolding like a novel, we think yes, of course, no doubt, why didn’t we think of this before? And we agree that art is not a hobby or a profession or an entertainment; but the very heartbeat of the human race.
