Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** This book establishes Philip Taaffe among the top tier of contemporary American painters. Taaffe came into prominence among the Neo-Geo artists of the eighties, but much of his work seems to have more in common with the Pattern & Decoration movement, and has earlier origins in Conceptual art. This volume also shows how the artist was inspired by the underground filmmakers of the fifties and sixties. *** "This book presents a comprehensive view of the work of American painter Philip Taaffe (b. 1955), who has expanded the parameters of painting through his use of silkscreen, linocuts, collage, stencils, gouache, chine-colle, marbling, acrylic, enamel, watercolor, and gold leaf. Possessing many technical skills, Taaffe has moved decisively between unique pictorial inventions and repeated patterns and images, as well as overlaying divergent modes of representation, such as pattern and biomorphic abstraction. John Yau's insightful text is the first to look at every part of Taaffe's artistic development, from the works he made at Cooper Union, while a student of Hans Haacke, to the present. It pays special attention to Taaffe's acquisition of different techniques, as well as investigating his various sources of inspiration, which include the work of experimental filmmakers Maya Deren, Joseph Cornell, Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner and Harry Smith, and the paintings of Swiss artist Andre Thomkins (1930-1985)" - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by Barry Schwabsky; The rise of conceptual art, 1972-1977; Early works, 1977-1985; In Naples, across from Vesuvius, 1986-1991; An alternative worldview, 1990s; A new century, 2000 to the present.

Hardcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 386 pages with 285 color illustrations. - A mammoth scrapbook of drawings, paintings, textiles and collages by the popular Copenhagen-based, Israeli artist Tal R (born 1967), The Virgin combines new and old work to offer a total portrait of the vibrant oeuvre of this perennially popular artist. A special focus of the volume is the pigment paintings upon which he embarked in the early 2000s. Tal R s riotously colorful works move freely between figuration and abstraction, and are characterized by an immediately evident ease with his media, and indeed with the very process of making art. As Barry Schwabsky writes, in an essay for this volume: What s obvious immediately is that Tal R is a natural. That means his being an artist, or something like an artist, isn t exactly a choice--it s something he could have avoided only at great cost. This volume traces the breaks and continuities in Tal R s two-decade career.…
