Описание: In literature and the visual arts, zero degree represents a neutral aesthetic situated in response to and outside of the dominant cultural order.

Описание: Athena Tacha's Journal continues to a long tradition of artists' letters, diaries, and journals - from Ghiberti, Leonardo, Cellini, Delacroix, and Van Gogh to Smithson and Oldenburg -- that record reflections on the natural world and the artists' creations. In her Journal, Tacha reveals how nature inspired her art as she read avidly about all aspects of the universe, from microbes to black holes, in an effort to discover the formal laws of the universe that underlie all aspects of nature and to incorporate that understanding into her work. This Journal follows her fifty-year journey into the frontiers of science and offers as well witty, astute observations on life -- from toenails, bowels and sex to aging, from plants and birds to camels - along with vividly evocative notes on her worldwide travels. Written with unflinching candor and handsomely illustrated, Tacha's Journal will be of interest to everyone engaged with contemporary art, the intersection between art and science, and the critical thinking and formation of artists.

Описание:

A riotous tribute to the singular path of Hairy Who pioneer Gladys Nilsson

Covering five decades and featuring 100 full-color plates, this beautiful volume is Chicago painter Gladys Nilsson's (born 1940) most comprehensive monograph to date. Though Nilsson is better known for the watercolors she began exhibiting in the mid-1960s as an original member of the Hairy Who, she has dedicated much of her career to painting in acrylic.

This monograph begins with her 1960s paintings on panel and Plexiglas, then considers her 1970s paintings on canvas, including the seven-foot-high Dipped Dick: Adam and Eve after Cranach, whose title characters are surrounded by a menagerie of cavorting plants and animals. The book finishes with her vivid recent paintings, which are jam-packed with characters. As Nilsson describes her approach, "I would draw a big figure, but that figure always needed another figure, and then those two figures needed a third to interact with. And then, before I knew it, the whole place would be teeming."

Описание: Originally published in 1939, this book presents an artistic memoir by the Scottish painter and lithographer Archibald Standish Hartrick (1864-1950). A richly detailed account is provided, reflecting Hartrick`s first-hand experience of `violent and puzzling` changes within the art world and his personal relationships with figures such as Van Gogh, Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec.
