A style celebrated for its use of mass-production, Pop art has conventionally been seen as constituting a complete break with the art movements that preceded it. Hand-Painted Pop: American Art in Transition, 1955-62 reevaluates this perception by considering Pop art's complex, layered period of evolution, focusing on its crucial seven years of development. Accompanying eight essays by distinguished art historians are 235 illustrations tracing Pop art's earliest beginnings. Many of the works shown have rarely been seen; others are among the most famous icons of our time. Hand-Painted Pop: American Art in Transition, 1955-62 places these works in the broader context of American culture. Among the topics covered are the formal links between New York School painting and early Pop art; the evolution of artists' choice of subject matter in the period; art education in the postwar era; the success and failure of the critical response to Pop; and gay iconography in the paintings of several Pop artists. This substantial revisionist history sheds considerable light on a central movement in art history." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Director's foreword, by Richard Koshalek; The faked gesture: pop art and the New York School, by Paul Schimmel; "Subjects of the artists": towards a painting without ideals, by Donna De Salvo; Unsentimental education: the professionalization of the American artist, by David Deitcher; Famous paintings seen and not looked at, not examined, by John Yau; Not necessarily pop: Cy Twombly and America, by Linda Norden; Early pop and the consumptive critic, by Stephen C.

Hardcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21,5 x 30 cm, Hardcover, 160 pages, 95 color illustrations - "Some Scenic Views" the title of Philipp Lachenmann's first monograph reflects his work's camouflage strategy. Presenting 80 photographs of unspectacular views, the book reveals the process of hiding complex meaning behind a surface of normalcy. With a series of short texts, Russell Fergusson brings to the fore those hidden facts of historical, political, natural, or scientific nature. He thus reveals Lachenmann's photographs for what they truly are: conceptual artworks. This book inscribes itself in the German artist's body of works as a kind of picture novel rather than a monograph.…
