An early advocate of colour photography, Joel Meyerowitz has
impacted and influenced generations of artists. For fifty-eight
years, the master photographer has documented the US’s
ever-changing social landscape. For a while, during the late 1960s,
Meyerowitz carried two cameras: one loaded with monochrome stock,
the other with colour. Just how, when and why US fine-art
photographers switched from black-and-white image-making, which was
prized within the gallery system, to colour photography, once seen
as the preserve of the holiday snapper, has been the cause of much
debate. In this book, Meyerowitz tells the story of his early days
as a photographer when he was told that serious photographers took
black & white pictures. 'But why?' he asked, 'when the world is
in colour?' He proceed to buy a colour camera and various rolls of
films and to read manuals and experiment with colour techniques: a
passion he continued to pursue all his life...
'I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland' Yayoi Kusama
Nonagenarian Japanese artist is simultaneously one of the most
famous and most mysterious artists on the planet. A wild child of
the 1950s and 1960s, she emerged out of the international Fluxus
movement to launch naked happenings in New York and went on to
become a doyenne of that city's counter-cultural scene. In the
early 1970s, she returned to Japan and by 1977 had checked herself
in to a psychiatric hospital which has remained her home to this
day. But, though she was removed from the world, she was definitely
not in retirement. Her love and belief in the polka dot has given
birth to some of the most surprising and inspiring installations
and paintings of the last four decades - and made her exhibitions
the most visited of any single living artist.
Somewhere within the iconic images, carefully-made personae,
star-studded milieu, million-dollar price tags and famous quotes
lies the real Andy Warhol. But who was he? Robert Shore unfolds the
multi-dimensional Warhol, dissecting his existence as undisputed
art-world hotshot, recreating the amazing circle that surrounded
him, and tracing his path to stardom back through his early career
and his awkward and unusual youth. After Warhol, nothing would be
the same - he changed art forever. Find out how with his remarkable
story.
'Art is theft,' Picasso once proclaimed, and much of the best and
most 'original' new art involves an act or two of unequivocal,
overt theft. Paradoxically, the law relating to artistic borrowing
has grown more restrictive. 'The plagiarism and copyright trials of
the twenty-first century are what the obscenity trials were to the
twentieth century', Kenneth Goldsmith, has observed. 'These are
really the issues of our time.' Beg, Steal and Borrow offers a
comprehensive and provocative survey of a complex subject that is
destined to grow in relevance and importance. It traces an artistic
lineage of appropriation from Michelangelo to Jeff Koons, and
examines the history of its legality from the sixteenth century to
now.
First published over ten years ago, The Queer Bible Commentary
brings together the work of several scholars and pastors known for
their interest in the areas of gender, sexuality and Biblical
studies. Contributors draw on feminist, queer, deconstructionist,
utopian theories, the social sciences and historical-critical
discourses. The focus is both how reading from lesbian, gay,
bisexual and/or transgender perspectives affect the reading and
interpretation of biblical texts and how biblical texts have and do
affect LGBTQ+ communities. This revised 2nd edition includes
updated bibliographies and chapters taking into account the latest
literature relating to queer interpretation of scripture.
