Download or read book Outsider Art written by Daniel Wojcik and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outsider art has exploded onto the international art scene, gaining widespread attention for its startling originality and visual power. As an expression of raw creativity, outsider art remains associated with self-taught visionaries, psychiatric patients, trance mediums, eccentric outcasts, and unschooled artistic geniuses who create things outside of mainstream artistic trends and styles. Outsider Art: Visionary Worlds and Trauma provides a comprehensive guide through the contested terrain of outsider art and the related domains of art brut, visionary art, “art of the insane,” and folk art. The book examines the history and primary issues of the field as well as explores the intersection between culture and individual creativity that is at the very heart of outsider art definitions and debates. Daniel Wojcik's interdisciplinary study challenges prevailing assumptions about the idiosyncratic status of outsider artists. This wide-ranging investigation of the art and lives of those labeled outsiders focuses on the ways that personal tragedies and suffering have inspired the art-making process. In some cases, trauma has triggered a creative transformation that has helped artists confront otherwise overwhelming life events. Additionally, Wojcik's study illustrates how vernacular traditions, religious worldviews, ethnic heritage, and popular culture have influenced such art. With its detailed consideration of personal motivations, cultural milieu, and the potentially therapeutic aspects of art making, this volume provides a deeper understanding of the artistic impulse and human creativity.

Book excerpt: Tiré du site Internet: "Chloe Feinberg's work has an affinity with Vaporwave, a sub-genre of electronic music and art started in the early 2010's by internet communities, and much like this genre, seeks to rearrange the relationship with the aesthetics of consumer culture by referencing and remaking nostalgic imagery. Feinberg believes in the importance of individual exploration of the unconscious, excavating our own personal underworld and often a deep confusion and ambivalence to these images. Chloe Feinberg is an English/American artist and animator based in London. She studied Fine Art at Central St Martins and Animation at the Royal College of Art."

Download or read book Dorothy Iannone written by Dorothy Iannone and published by JRP Ringier. This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, Dorothy Iannone has attempted to represent ecstatic love, 'the union of gender, feeling, and pleasure.' Today her oeuvre is widely recognized as one of the most provocative and fruitful bodies of work in recent decades in terms of the liberalization of female sexuality, political and feminist issues.A narrative element fed with personal mythologies, experiences, feelings, and relationships runs through all of her work, unified by her distinctive colourful, explicit, and comic book-like style.Created in 1969, when she was living with Swiss artist Dieter Roth, the Cookbook is a perfect example of how she mixes daily life and an existential approach, culminating in her vision of cooking as an outlet for both eroticism and introspection. A real book of recipes full of visual delights, the Cookbook contains densely decorated pages with patterned designs, packed text, and vibrant colours. Personal sentences are interspersed among the lists of ingredients, revealing the exultations and tribulations of her life between the lines of recipes.Filled with wit and wordplay, associations between aliments and idiosyncratic thoughts -- 'At least one can turn pain to colour' accompanies the recipe for gazpacho; 'Dorothy's spirit is like this: green and yellow', is written next to the ingredients for lentil soup -- the Cookbook constitutes a mundane but essential self-portrait of the artist as a cook and a lover. This beautiful facsimile of the Cookbook is published in collaboration with Air de Paris, Paris.Born in 1933 in Boston, Dorothy Iannone lives and works in Berlin. Her recent exhibitions include: Centre culturel suisse, Paris, 2016; Migros Museum, Zurich; Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (both 2014); and New Museum, New York, 2009.

Download or read book The Art of Adolf W lfli written by Elka Spoerri and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being institutionalized for schizophrenia at age thirty-one, Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930) achieved artistic greatness in his cell at Waldau Mental Asylum near his native Bern, Switzerland. He has had a profound influence on modern art ever since; André Breton described his work as "one of the three or four most important oeuvres of the twentieth century." The Art of Adolf Wölfli offers a fresh vantage point on the artist's remarkably intricate drawings and astonishing collages, as well as his newly translated writings, which are justly celebrated for their dizzying blend of mythology and humor. Also included are illuminating essays by leading specialists on his art and life. Wölfli's youth was one of deprivation. His alcoholic father ran off when Wölfli was five, and his mother died soon after. Despite these travails, he managed to complete his education, acquiring the sophisticated literacy so evident in his later work. However, beginning at age twenty-six, his repeated attempts to molest young girls landed him first in jail and, in 1894, in the asylum. Though violent at first, by 1899 he calmed down--and began to draw. Working primarily in pencil on newsprint, Wölfli created a dense, stunningly detailed medley of wildly imaginative prose texts interwoven with poems, musical compositions, color illustrations, and collages. His five-part magnum opus, "St. Adolf-Giant-Creation," comprises 45 large volumes and 16 notebooks--25,000 pages in all--containing 1,620 drawings and 1,640 collages. Sure to be the authoritative resource for this remarkable oeuvre, this striking book represents compelling testimony that great torment does not preclude great art.

Download or read book Sophie Taeuber Arp written by and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive survey on the Dada participant and pioneer of abstraction between art and craft, spanning her textiles, marionettes, stained glass, paintings and more Accompanying the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arp's work in the United States in 40 years, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstractionis a comprehensive survey of this multifaceted abstract artist's innovative and wide-ranging body of work. Her background in the applied arts and dance, her involvement in the Zurich Dada movement and her projects for architectural spaces were essential to her development of a uniquely versatile and vibrant abstract vocabulary. Through her artistic output and various professional alliances, Taeuber-Arp consistently challenged the historically constructed boundaries separating fine art from craft and design. This richly illustrated catalog explores the artist's interdisciplinary and cross-pollinating approach to abstraction through some 400 works, including textiles, beadwork, polychrome marionettes, architectural and interior designs, stained glass windows, works on paper, paintings and relief sculptures. It also features 15 essays that examine the full sweep of Taeuber-Arp's career. Arranged into six chapters that follow the exhibition's sections, these essays trace the progression of Taeuber-Arp's creative production both chronologically and thematically. A comprehensive illustrated chronology, the first essay on Taeuber-Arp's materials and techniques, and an exhibition checklist based on new research and analysis detail the expansive nature of Taeuber-Arp's production. Sophie Taeuber-Arpwas born in 1889 in Davos, Switzerland, and trained at the interdisciplinary Debschitz School in Munich. In 1914, she began a successful applied arts practice in Zurich, where she also taught textile design and participated in the Dada movement. Starting in the late 1920s, Taeuber-Arp completed several architectural and interior design projects, most significantly the Aubette entertainment complex in Strasbourg. When she moved to Paris in 1929, she turned her attention to abstract paintings and painted wood reliefs. During the Nazi occupation, Taeuber-Arp spent her final years in the South of France, and died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in 1943.
