The Art of Romare Bearden

200334715New. 2003. 0894683027 . FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- 224 color photos 86 black and white illustrations. - Published in conjunction with the National Gallery's recent retrospective this oversized volume offers a look at Romare Bearden's 1911-1988 creative history critical essays on his work and origins and plates of his paintings sketches and vibrant signature collages. Fine a curator at the National Gallery sketches Bearden's biography swiftly but with detail describing the North Carolina native's family life during the Harlem Renaissance in New York their circle included Langston Hughes Duke Ellington and Paul Robeson his influential early friendships and the political cartoons with which he began his artistic career. A handful of thoughtful essays by art history scholars and curators piece together Bearden's influences reading habits and the range of responses his work evoked. They emphasize Bearden's sense of rootedness in Western art and the "selective appropriation of canonical images" that became essential in his expression of African-Americans' complex identity and experience. Bearden's works are juxtaposed here with those of other ages and places-from Renaissance painter Duccio di Buoninsegna to Impressionist Degas and from African sculpture to works by Picasso and Matisse. The "bibliophile" Bearden was an avid reader and writer whose lifelong scholarship informed his reflections on art. The written record he left behind both in published essays and unpublished letters "affords a rare opportunity to consider art as a result of thinking and reasoning" instead of romantically springing forth from the "sensitive soul's churning depths. " This is a discerning retrospective that will appeal most to those interested in understanding Bearden's artistic inspiration and intellectual breadth. - Publishers Weekly -- with a bonus offer-- . unknown

Rodin: The Shape of Genius

199339451Cumberland Rhode Island U.S.A.: Yale Univ Pr. New. 1993. Hardcover. 0300054009 . FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED - DESCRIPTION: An insightful life of Auguste Rodin 1840-1917 that's based on many previously unpublished letters and a fresh interpretation of familiar facts. Butler Art/UMass at Boston is especially perceptive about Rodin's relationships--how they inspired energized and influenced his art--particularly his relations with the women to whom he claimed he ``owed everything'': his sister who died when he was 21; his companion of 51 years Rose Beuret whom his biographer Judith Cladel arranged for him to marry when they were both near death; Camille Claudel the student whom he reputedly drove mad; wealthy married women who commissioned portraits; and dozens of models who inspired and posed for his thousands of frenetic erotic drawings. Returning to France from Brussels where he'd began his career Rodin stopped in Florence where he encountered the grandeur of Michelangelo and was liberated from the Grecian academic style that prevailed in Paris. This new more natural and somewhat vulgar style as well as the artist's own demanding nature accounted for his alienation from the centers of power in the artistic community especially from the Salon system. Nonetheless in an age of ``statuemania' ' of nationalism and public art Rodin created major icons: The Kiss The Thinker The Burghers of Calais and The Gate of Hell the sublime portals based on Dante and cast for a museum that was never built. Butler's special strengths are in analyzing the politics of the artistic community and the art of politics; the expensive and collaborative nature of sculpture the space technology and immense amount of assistance that Rodin required; Rodin's entrepreneurial dimension; his neglect of his illegitimate son; his fame abroad Rilke wrote his first biography but his equivocal position in France; and his loneliness. Like Rodin's art: simplified but rounded; monumental. Two hundred photographs -- From Kirkus Reviews -- with a bonus offer-- . Yale Univ Pr hardcover
