Book excerpt: This engaging publication examines the prodigious body of work of American sculptor Manuel Neri (b. 1930) through the unique perspective of one of Neri's former students. A near-contemporary of other notable California-based artists Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud, Neri is best known for his large-scale figurative sculptures that combine classical figuration with the dynamic mark-making of Abstract Expressionism. The book traces the compelling yet often contradictory thematic arcs of Neri's powerful work and his greater impact on the field of sculpture. At the heart of the publication are Jock Reynolds's personal reflections on Neri and his legacy as a teacher, adding insight and intimacy to the scholarly understanding of the artist. Photographs of Neri in his studio, archival images, and installation photos of the related exhibition at the Yale University Art Gallery round out the book. With its blend of art history and personal reflection, this unique book offers valuable insight into an important, understudied California artist.

Download or read book Manuel Neri and the Assertion of Modern Figurative Sculpture written by Bruce Nixon and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploration of the human figure has been the pursuit of artists for millennia. Manuel Neri (b. 1930), a California native and former student of Richard Diebenkorn and Nathan Oliveira, has spent a lifetime accentuating the gesture, surface, and materiality of the figure. He renders his work in several different mediums that include plaster, marble, bronze, and paper. This exhibition, drawn from and celebrating gifts donated to the museum by The Manuel Neri Trust, provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his quest to define the figure on his own terms. Manuel Neri is known for his prolonged artistic engagement with the figure in a variety of materials, starting with plaster in the late 1950s and moving into bronze and marble. The seven sculptures in the outdoor installation reference Neri's origins with plaster and his expressionistic manipulation of the medium. By casting plaster in bronze, tactile surfaces are preserved and enhanced.

Download or read book Making Art written by Mary Julia Klimenko and published by Fmsbw. This book was released on 2021-01-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir by poet Mary Julia Klimenko, who spent four decades as sculptor Manuel Neri's principal model, muse, and collaborator. This book is Number 2 in the Divers Collection."Mary Julia Klimenko has lived life in multiple layers, the narrative recounted by others and most often, their perception of her in relation to the artist Manuel Neri. She has been seen as the exotic model, poet, muse, the passionate and jealous lover, but rarely as a collaborator. In this book, we are invited into her life and into the working studio where she began the journey from impressionable young woman longing for a larger life, to her involvement in the excitement and frustrations of living a life centered in the arts. This is the true story of Mary Julia finding her own voice as she relates a unique account of the collaboration that developed in the crucible of the studio. Often touching, always straightforward, sometimes hilarious, we follow the trajectory from depressed and isolated young wife to the fully accomplished, published poet and psychotherapist. The story is unusual to the artist/model canon in that the instinct in each, inspired the other. We discover that Manuel Neri was as much her muse as she was his." Kate Flores, Artist

Download or read book Welcome to Painterland written by Anastasia Aukeman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rat Bastard ProtectiveÊAssociation was an inflammatory, close-knit community of artists who livedÊand worked in aÊbuilding they dubbed Painterland in the Fillmore neighborhood of midcentury San Francisco. The artists who counted themselves among the RatÊBastardsÑwhich included Joan Brown, Bruce Conner, Jay DeFeo,ÊWallyÊHedrick, Michael McClure, and Manuel NeriÑexhibited a unique fusion of radicalism,Êprovocation, and community. Geographically isolated from a viable art market and refusingÊto conform to institutional expectations, theyÊanimated broader social andÊartistic discussions through their work and became aÊtransformative part of American culture over time. Anastasia Aukeman presents new and little-known archival material in this authorized account of these artists and their circle, a colorful cultural milieu that intersected with the broader Beat scene.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative Art: Methods and Materials educates readers about a variety of art methods and the ways different civilizations have used them in artistic expression.

Students learn about bronze casting, stone carving, clay sculpture, woodcuts and posters, glass work, and installation art. Each method is matched to artists both ancient and modern. Rather than adhering to a standard approach that focuses on white, male, European artists, the book broadens the student's perspective by including often overlooked female artists. Global in approach and comprehensive in coverage of arts forms, representations, and styles throughout history, Creative Art has been developed for sixteen-week courses in art appreciation, or introductory survey courses in art history.

Download or read book Manuel Neri written by Bruce Nixon and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are pleased to present this exhibition of artists' books by Manuel Neri in the Reva and David Logan Gallery of Illustrated Books. This catalogue offers an Introduction by Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator-in-Charge of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, and a comprehensive essay by Bruce Nixon on Manuel Neri's artists' book collaborations, with color illustrations of the complete book projects and related sculptures and drawings by Neri." "Manuel Neri's work with the artists' book is almost certainly his least known. The number of these projects has been few, four so far, all produced in very limited numbers. Until now, these books have been scarcely documented, at least in comparison to Neri's voluminous production as a sculptor. Consistent with the substantial tradition of the livre d'artiste, Neri's artists' books represent a lengthy, sometimes difficult, sometimes intense collaborative process between artist and author, one that may consume years or, for that matter, decades."--Jacket.
