Paperback. Condizione: New. Partisans of the Nude is a survey of genre art of the nude made by artists in areas that were formerly Ottoman but not yet Arab.

By contrast, this book shows that art movements outside the West created their own, connected and commandeering modernity through the genre. It recontextualizes "postwar" and "Arab Spring" art by rooting it in the decolonizing and civic reinvention efforts of artists and activists who fiercely upheld aesthetic development and battled for new forms of political being.…

Otros. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. Publicado con motivo de la exposición retrospectiva Huguette Caland. Una vida en pocas líneas, este catálogo recorre la trayectoria de la creadora libanesa Huguette Caland (Beirut, 1931-2019) a través de ocho ensayos, textos de la propia artista y la reproducción de numerosas obras de diferentes etapas, algunas inéditas hasta la fecha. Estructurada cronológicamente, la publicación abre con un extenso y exhaustivo ensayo de la comisaria de la muestra, Hannah Feldman, quien ofrece una mirada panorámica sobre la prolífica y diversa producción de Caland, la cual abarca contextos y medios plásticos muy dispares, y se caracteriza por un intenso compromiso con la vida y el arte, dos dimensiones que consideraba profundamente entrelazadas. Le siguen las investigaciones de seis historiadores que se centran en diferentes aspectos, como sus inicios creativos en Beirut, su ciudad natal; la libertad expresiva que halló en París; su incursión en el diseño de moda; la contención formal con la que experimentó en Venice, California; o sus últimas reflexiones en torno a la vejez y la memoria. A modo de cierre, la propia arti. LIBRO.…
