Jenny Saville (Hardcover): Sergio Risaliti Jenny Saville (Hardcover)
Sergio Risaliti
R1,101 Discovery Miles 11 010 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The volume is dedicated to the work of Jenny Saville (Cambridge, 1970), one of the greatest contemporary painters and a leading voice in the international art scene. Saville transcends the limits between figurative and abstract, between informal and gestural, managing to transfigure the news into a universal image, which puts the human figure at the center of the history of art. Huge, naked bodies, with a carnal physicality and oppressed by a weight that is more existential than material, Saville is linked to the great European pictorial tradition in constant comparison with the modernism of Willem de Kooning and Cy Twombly and the portraiture of Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon. Her work also outlines a strong correlation with the masters of the Italian Renaissance, in particular with some of Michelangelo’s great masterpieces.  The volume contains a rich catalogue of paintings and drawings from the 1990s to today.

Ali Banisadr. Beautiful Lies (Paperback): Sergio Risaliti Ali Banisadr. Beautiful Lies (Paperback)
Sergio Risaliti
R1,076 R982 Discovery Miles 9 820 Save R94 (9%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Beautiful Lies documents Teheran-born, New York-based artist Ali Banisadr's 2021 show in Florence in honour of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri. The "beautiful lies" beneath which truth is hidden is an expression used by Dante in describing his writing - and allegorical poetry in general - and it is perfectly suited to Banisadr's work. His powerful brushwork and strong colours go below the surface of his personal reality, revealing violence and isolation, anguish and wonder, but also memories and imagination. For this show, which was split between two venues, he was commissioned to create an installation of site-specific paintings (also called Beautiful Lies). The text is by Sergio Risaliti, director of the Museo Novecento in Florence.

Luca Pignatelli - Senza data (Paperback): Sergio Risaliti Luca Pignatelli - Senza data (Paperback)
Sergio Risaliti
R861 Discovery Miles 8 610 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Senza data (Undated), an exhibition at the Stefano Bardini Museum in Florence, presents a series of works by Italian artist Luca Pignatelli painted on railway tarpaulins, wood, paper, sheet metal, and Persian carpets from the early 20th century. The painted carpets stand out immediately for their size and their link with the vast collection of carpets in the museum. Luca Pignatelli studied architectural composition during the period influenced by the theories of Aldo Rossi and the idea of the sedimentary growth of history. He is an artist able to accept the challenge of large-scale paintings, working with unusual supports on which he overlays his own selection of images, icons of collective memory like trains, planes, machines, and relics of classical culture. This catalogue includes an interview with the artist and an essay by director of the Museo Novecento in Florence.

Davide Rivalta MY LAND (Hardcover): Saretto Concinelli, Sergio Risaliti Davide Rivalta MY LAND (Hardcover)
Saretto Concinelli, Sergio Risaliti
R1,413 R593 Discovery Miles 5 930 Save R820 (58%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Italian sculptor Davide Rivalta seeks out wild animals in their natural habitat and in captivity, then creates sculptures in bronze that capture their energy, otherness, and power. This book documents an exhibition at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, where Rivalta turns the gallery and garden into a savannah with life-size buffalos, eagles, wolves, and a rhinoceros. Site-specific wall drawings of large birds highlight another artistic practice that the artist uses to explore the untamed essence of the animal world. His works are on show in permanent exhibitions in various cities, both in Italy and abroad, and have been shown in many art galleries and museums.

Equilibrium (Paperback): Stefania Ricci Equilibrium (Paperback)
Stefania Ricci; Sergio Risaliti
R1,149 R936 Discovery Miles 9 360 Save R213 (19%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

We have been walking upright for almost six million years and soon learned how to offload our body's weight on the arch of the foot. Salvatore Ferragamo dedicated all his life to the study of the foot's anatomy, also researching into architecture and engineering, as we can understand by looking at his patents. Walking, dancing barefoot or en pointe, advancing along a wire in the manner of a tight-rope walker, climbing mountains, stepping and marching on orders, wandering about to find oneself, roaming around: these are just some of the themes dealt with in Equilibrium, the new project by the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, curated by Stefania Ricci and Sergio Risaliti. This volume is based on the comparison among magnificent, important and meaningful artworks of various origin. The project has been developed through several media: painting, sculpture, photography, video, cinema and printed editions. The geometric balancing of Wassily Kandinsky is displayed alongside the thread-like structures of Fausto Melotti; Albrecht Durer's Fortuna with Giulio Paolini's funambulist; and portraits of Nijinsky alongside those of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham and Trisha Brown.
