The Pictographs of Adolph Gottlieb

ISBN:
Category : Abstract expressionism
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
"The paintings created between 1941 and 1953 by Adolph Gottlieb, which he labeled Pictographs, were an early and important breakthrough in American art. Typically defined by their use of pictographic symbols, compartmented structure, and momentous content, they are among the first successful efforts by an American of his generation to create works of art that were informed by, yet independent of, the art of their European contemporaries. The series contains a wealth of formal and conceptual ideas, which remained central to American paintings throughout the 1940s and 1950s and continue to echo in the work of today's artists." "The Pictographs of Adolph Gottlieb, published in conjunction with an exhibition seen at The Phillips Collection, The Portland Museum of Art, Maine, The Brooklyn Museum, and The Arkansas Art Center, provides the first comprehensive survey of an important body of work produced by one of the seminal figures of Abstract Expressionism, who was also one of the most influential and successful artists of his generation. It presents sixty-five works in full-page color plates, chosen from more than three hundred in the series; many of them have not been reproduced in fifty years, and some are seen here for the first time. It also includes an intriguing array of essays by eminent scholars and critics exploring every aspect of the subject."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Writings on Art
Author: Mark RothkoPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300114409
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The first collection of Mark Rothko's writings, which range the entire span of his career While the collected writings of many major 20th-century artists, including Barnett Newman, Robert Motherwell, and Ad Reinhardt, have been published, Mark Rothko's writings have only recently come to light, beginning with the critically acclaimed The Artist's Reality: Philosophies of Art. Rothko's other written works have yet to be brought together into a major publication. Writings on Art fills this significant void; it includes some 90 documents--including short essays, letters, statements, and lectures--written by Rothko over the course of his career. The texts are fully annotated, and a chronology of the artist's life and work is also included. This provocative compilation of both published and unpublished writings from 1934--69 reveals a number of things about Rothko: the importance of writing for an artist who many believed had renounced the written word; the meaning of transmission and transition that he experienced as an art teacher at the Brooklyn Jewish Center Academy; his deep concern for meditation and spirituality; and his private relationships with contemporary artists (including Newman, Motherwell, and Clyfford Still) as well as journalists and curators. As was revealed in Rothko's The Artist's Reality, what emerges from this collection is a more detailed picture of a sophisticated, deeply knowledgeable, and philosophical artist who was also a passionate and articulate writer.

Book Description
"Robert Motherwell was not just a great painter, he was a brilliant thinker. As the founding editor of The Documents of Twentieth-Century of Art, he decisively shaped our understanding of modernism. This new and expanded selection of Motherwell's criticism provides an essential guide to the art of the high modern period, both American and European."—Pepe Karmel, author of Picasso and the Invention of Cubism "In the past two decades Abstract Expressionism has become one of the most dynamic subjects in art history; sometimes the reading is so dense it is like swimming through peanut butter. But, cutting through to the essential questions that generated the movement, the writings of Robert Motherwell are a treasure. Written at the same time he was painting, Motherwell's texts make me feel like a witness to the philosophical curiosity that generated one of the most powerful art movements of the twentieth century."—Michael Auping, author of Abstract Expressionism: The Critical Developments “This book is essential reading for anyone thinking about the uneasy clash of modernism and postmodernism in postwar America; Motherwell’s writing played a decisive role and this volume is an admirably full account of it.”—Jonathan Fineberg, author of When We Were Young: New Perspectives on the Art of the Child
