Hardback. Condizione: Good. An absorbing group biography revealing how exiles from war-torn France brought Surrealism to America, helping to shift the centre of the art world from Paris to New York and spark the movement that became Abstract Expressionism. In 1957 the American artist Robert Motherwell made an unexpected claim: ?I have only known two painting milieus well ? the Parisian Surrealists, with whom I began painting seriously in New York in 1940, and the native movement that has come to be known as ?abstract expressionism?, but which genetically would have been more properly called ?abstract surrealism.? Motherwell?s bold assertion, that Abstract Expressionism was neither new nor local, but born of a brief liaison between America and France, verged on the controversial. Surrealists in New York tells the story of this ?liaison? and the European exiles who bought Surrealism with them ? an artistic exchange between the Old World and the New ? centring on taciturn printmaker Stanley William Hayter and the legendary Atelier 17 print studio he founded. Here artists? experiments literally pushed the boundaries of modern art. It was in Hayter?s studio that Jackson Pollock found the balance of freedom and control that would culminate in his distinctive drip paintings. The impact of Max Ernst, André Masson, Louise Bourgeois and other noted émigrés on the work of Motherwell, Pollock, Mark Rothko and the American avant-garde has for too long been quietly written out of art history. Drawing on first-hand documents, interviews and archive materials, Charles Darwent brings to life the events and personalities from this crucial encounter. In so doing, he reveals a fascinating new perspective on the history of the art of the twentieth century.…

In 1957 the American artist Robert Motherwell made an unexpected claim: 'I have only known two painting milieus well . the Parisian Surrealists, with whom I began painting seriously in New York in 1940, and the native movement that has come to be known as "abstract expressionism", but which genetically would have been more properly called "abstract surrealism".'

Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. While Josef Albers' Bauhaus colleagues Klee and Kandinsky are household names, Albers himself has remained inscrutable. He is best known as the painter of the Homages to the Square, a series of over 2,000 seemingly tightly controlled experiments in the interaction of colour. Yet he did not begin these pictures until he was in his sixties, already several decades into his career as an artist, maker and theorist, much of it pursued in the United States following the Nazi dissolution of the Bauhaus in 1933. Misunderstanding of the Homages reflects a wider misreading of Albers' life and work. Married to the textile artist Anni Albers, his papers include letters from fellow artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Eva Hesse; colleagues such as Buckminster Fuller and Philip Johnson; and fans and collectors ranging from the composer Virgil Thomson to the cartoonist Saul Steinberg. 335 pages with 185 illustrations including the 23 color plates bookending the beginning and end of the text. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. Record # 401157.…
