Book excerpt: In 2005, the sculptor Joel Shapiro was invited by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris to participate in their project series titled 'Correspondences'. The aim of 'Correspondences' is to achieve new insights into the complexity of art through confronting some of the museum's 19th century masterpieces with ambitious contemporary works. Shapiro initially felt that a wax figure of a dancer by Degas would be an appropriate match for one of his own figures, but then opted for Jean Baptiste Carpeaux's 'La Danse,' a large-scale manifestation of human sensuality which once adorned the exterior of the Paris Opera. The sculpture had caused a major scandal in its time and is said to have influenced Rodin a generation later. The abandon of Carpeaux's six dancing figures gives a vivid sense of ecstatic human movement. Shapiro achieves the same through abstract means. His bold construction consisting of 20 wooden elements painted in ultra-bright colors evokes a burst of movement that corresponds dramatically to the 19th century work.

Book excerpt: The story of how plants and flowers have shaped interior design for over 200 years From ferns in 19th-century British parlors to contemporary "living walls" in commercial spaces, plants and flowers have long been incorporated into the design of public and private spaces. Spanning two centuries, Nature Inside explores the history and popularity of indoor plants, revealing the close relationship between architecture, interior design, and nature. Studying the international modern interior through the lens of plants in the human environment, author Penny Sparke attributes a degree of the interest in indoor plants to urbanization, and, more recently, the climate crisis, which serve as ongoing reminders that people must maintain a connection to, and respect for, the natural world. While architectural and interior design styles have evolved alongside the popularity of various plant species, the human need to bring nature indoors has remained constant.

Download or read book Why is that Art written by Terry Barrett and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Is That Art? addresses common questions that viewers raise about contemporary art: Why is that art? Why is it in an art museum? Who says it's art? If I did this, would it be art? Why is it good? Covering a broad, diverse, and engaging sampling of works--abstract and representational painting, monumental sculpture, performance art, video installations, films, and photographs--author Terry Barrett responds to these questions using three sources: the artists who created the works, philosophers of art, and art critics. Introducing students to a variety of established theories of art, he presents the traditional sets of criteria of Realism, Expressionism, and Formalism, which are in turn updated by recent sources of Poststructuralism. Barrett applies each of these theories to challenging works of contemporary art, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each mode of interpretation. He encourages students to consider many criteria when evaluating an artwork, to critically examine judgments made by others, and to make informed judgments of their own. Ideal for courses in aesthetics, art theory, art criticism, and the philosophy of art, Why Is That Art? is organized chronologically according to the history of aesthetics. It features sixty-seven illustrations (twenty-six in a full-color insert), discusses a wide range of American and European artists, and includes an exceptional overview of postmodern pluralism. This unique book will provide students with a newfound appreciation for contemporary art, scholarship, and reasoned argumentation, giving them the confidence to join the fascinating discourse on contemporary art.
