The volume will shed light on the psychoanalytic approach that
underlies their language and provocations, intended to induce a
process of self-reflection in the viewer, changing their perception
of the world and society. Their visual journey will be articulated
into three chronological sections corresponding to the most
significant shifts in their conceptual evolution, covering their
practice from 1995 to 2020.
Stan Lee invented SPIDER-MAN! And IRON MAN! And the HULK! And the
X-MEN! And more than 500 other iconic characters! His name has
appeared on more than a billion comic books, in 75 countries, in 25
languages. His creations have starred in multibillion-dollar
grossing movies and TV series. This is his story. Danny Fingeroth
writes a comprehensive biography of this powerhouse of ideas who
changed the world's understanding of what a hero is and how a story
should be told, while exploring Lee's unique path to becoming the
face of comics. With behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with
Stan's brother Larry Lieber and other industry legends, The
Marvelous Life has insights that only an insider like Fingeroth can
offer. Fingeroth, himself a longtime writer and editor at Marvel
Comics and now a lauded pop culture critic and historian, knew and
worked with Stan Lee for over three decades. Due to this
connection, Fingeroth is able to put Lee's life and work in a
context that makes events and actions come to life as no other
writer could.
This third book in the popular Do More Art series exposes how the
simplest of writing tools is in fact the key to an entire universe
of artistic expression. From simple doodling and mark-making to
meticulously built-up tour de forces - a piece of graphite is all
that is needed to create whole new worlds. Selwyn Leamy and Eve
Blackwood explore the many different ways the pencil can be used:
from hatching and smudging to frottage and even collage. Each
technique is clearly explained and illustrated with works by some
of the greatest contemporary pencil practitioners - demonstrating
once and for all that the pencil really is mightier than the pen.
The children of Okhla have written and created art about their
homes, terraces, mosques, and the villages that their families come
from, in a workshop conducted by the authors. This volume brings to
light the many stories from this teeming, thriving corner of Delhi,
often bypassed in common discourses on the city.My Sweet Home also
tries to resolve the many misunderstandings that people have of the
place as a Muslim ghetto, through the experiences of some of its
younger residents. These stories and drawings reflect the
relationships that the children have with their neighbourhood and
prompt an intangible connection between the reader-across region,
religion, nationality-and this misunderstood, misrepresented
neighbourhood.
It is so good, after so many years of public indifference, even
hostility towards Vincent and his work, to feel towards the end of
my life that the battle is won.' JO VAN GOGH-BONGER TO GUSTAVE
COQUIOT, 1922 'It is a sacrifice for the sake of Vincent's glory.'
JO VAN GOGH-BONGER ON THE SALE OF 'THE SUNFLOWERS' TO THE NATIONAL
GALLERY, UK, 1924 Little known but no less influential, Jo van
Gogh-Bonger was sister-in-law of Vincent van Gogh, wife of his
brother, Theo. When the brothers died soon after each other, she
took charge of Van Gogh's artistic legacy and devoted the rest of
her life to disseminating his work. Despite being widowed with a
young son, Jo successfully navigated the male-dominated world of
the art market-publishing Van Gogh's letters, organizing
exhibitions in the Netherlands and throughout the world, and making
strategic sales to private individuals and influential
dealers-ultimately establishing Van Gogh's reputation as one of the
finest artists of his generation. In doing so, she fundamentally
changed how we view the relationship between the artist and his
work. She also lived a rich and fascinating life-not only was she
friends with eminent writers and artists, but she also was active
within the Social Democratic Labour Party and closely involved in
emerging women's movements. Using rich source material, including
unseen diaries, documents and letters, Hans Luijten charts the
multi-faceted life of this visionary woman with the drive to shake
the art world to its core.
World-renowned visionary artist John Harris' unique concept
paintings capture the Universe on a massive scale, featuring
everything from epic landscapes and towering cities to
out-of-this-world science fiction vistas.
This collection focuses on his wide variety of futuristic art, as
well as his striking covers for a variety of esteemed SF authors,
including Arthur C Clarke, John Scalzi, Ben Bova, Hal Clement, Jack
McDevitt, Frederik Pohl, Orson Scott Card's Enders books and many
more.

Gauguin's great diary from Tahiti almost never saw the light of day
in its original form. The manuscript was sent by the artist from
his island refuge to his friend Charles Morice in Paris, and
published in 1901 with immediate success, under the two names of
Paul Gauguin and Charles Morice. Morice, with Gauguin's permission,
had 'edited' and enlarged it to make it more readable. How much of
the charm and crispness of the manuscript had been lost in the
process was anyone's guess. It was to be 40 years before Gauguin's
original version came to light, and it is published here in a
translation by the poet Jonathan Griffin, together with a detailed
description by the art historian Jean Loize, who re-discovered the
manuscript. Loize shows that Morice had in parts altered Gauguin's
text beyond recognition - a startling discovery that entirely
changed ideas about Gauguin's style and intentions. This genuine
version of Noa-Noa is not only an important document, it is also a
beautiful piece of writing: amusing, acid, wide-eyed, moving.
Gauguin feared that, unedited, it would seem absurdly crude; and no
doubt it would have, to most readers in his day. Today we can
appreciate its sketch form, jerky directness, authentic freshness.
This edition is illustrated with the watercolours, wood-engravings
and drawings that Gauguin assembled for the book.
I'll never forget that first time a saw a New Orleans Mardi Gras
Indian. I was driving home while the sun was setting and there was
a flash of orange feathers. My heart jumped. I didn't take many
photos that day, just three. Then, I handed my camera to some
people with the Indians to take my picture with them. I was
enamored from the start. Previous pictures I saw of the Indians
focused on the suits blocking out the faces. With the incredible
amount of work and art that went into these suits, I felt it was
important to include the faces of these artists. It felt like it
was no longer my art. It was an extension of what they were doing,
and a way to honor what they had created. Their art is expensive
and hard to do, and it isn't done for monetary gain. I admire that,
and I relate. And over time we got to know each other very well.
The Indians began asking me to come out with them to take pictures.
The Black Feathers had me document the images of my monograph Let's
Go Get Em' on St. Joseph's Night, when the Indians come out after
sunset.

Petra Thoelken's practical and inspiring book examines what it
means to make an abstract work of art. She encourages the reader to
consider the subjects of composition, planes, and subject and
expression, while also examining the more practical topics of
colour theory and colour mixing, how to work with pigment, canvas
and priming, spatula techniques and working with unconventional
backgrounds. All these elements build up into a vocabulary of
visual pointers from which the reader can begin to explore their
own adventurousness and creativity. Through the 20 beautiful
projects that Petra demonstrates, step by step, readers will learn
how to create texture, work with unusual tools and create soft
transitions or high contrast. Her clarity of thought and
inspirational advice will open your eyes to a whole new way of
seeing your paintings and achieving the self-expression that leads
to visually exciting and technically innovative work. For some of
the projects, there are links to Petra's popular YouTube videos,
demonstrating how she created the individual paintings.

Gary Hill is one of the most influential contemporary artists to
investigate the myriad relationships between words and electronic
images. His inquiries into linguistics and consciousness offer
resonant philosophical and poetic insights, as he explores the
formal conjunctions of electronic visual and audio elements with
the body and the self. With experimental rigor, conceptual
precision and imaginative leaps of discovery, Hill's work in video
is about, and is, a new form of writing. In this substantial
volume, George Quasha and Charles Stein analyze the artist's entire
career, paying particular attention to the single-channel video
works. Covering Hill's oeuvre, this highly readable monograph
features a comprehensive chronology of his work, including
important production details. A careful selection of key writings
by the artist is also included. With 640 pages and more than 900
illustrations, it is the most comprehensive and in-depth treatment
of Gary Hill's work to date, written in close connection with the
artist, and offers an essential theoretical and scholarly frame for
continuing study.

ladies to housewives--at work, at play and in contemplation. With a

French historian, Serge Guilbaut, explores the aesthetic quarrels
between Paris and New York of the 40s and 50s, analysing the art
that became cultural and commercial icons, with works by Picasso,
de Kooning, Dubuffet, Gorky, Kandinsky, Matisse, Newman, Pollock,
Rothko, as well as forgotten artists like Barbeau, Bearden and
Capogrossi. He also studies the reasons why the popular icons of
one culture were not recognised by the other at that time. Faced
with the imposing presence of the victorious movement of abstract
expressionism, the French art scene, seemed incapable of projecting
a single voice or direction for the future, as Paris had done in
the past.To study the history of French and American art after the
Second World War is a considerable challenge because the consensus
among investigators has been shaped by the success of American art.
The French art of that period has been regarded as irrelevant
although it displayed the same debates about realism, geometrical
abstraction and forms of abstract expressionism. The specific
aspect of the French scene was the extreme politicisation of
artistic expression at a time of strong tensions arising from the
divisions of the Cold War.
Popular artist Leonardo Pereznieto--whose instructional YouTube
videos have earned him millions of views and a devoted fan
base--teaches beginners the fundamentals of traditional drawing. In
his first book "You Can Draw!" Leonardo Pereznieto helped artists
recreate the realistic surfaces and textures that make his own work
so popular. Now he's going back to the very beginning to teach them
the basics of drawing, covering first exercises, fundamental
techniques, light and shading, composition, and perspective, and
more. Loaded with information on materials, a glossary of essential
terminology, and hundreds of illustrations, this illuminating guide
includes such projects as a fall still life of fruit in a basket,
with instructions on shape, shadow, and detail, as well as a
cityscape, a landscape with depth of field, animals, train tracks,
jewelry, and drawing with a message. Once you've mastered these
basics, you can unleash your imagination on whatever subject you
like!
