Hardback. Condizione: Good. Laurie Simmons is one of the first contemporary American photographers to have created elaborately-staged narrative photographs. Using dolls to act out piquant scenarios within specially constructed environments, she has slyly commented on contemporary culture while re-creating "a sense of the 50s that I knew was both beautiful and lethal." Prodigiously creative - she has produced some thirteen or fourteen fully developed series since the 1970s - Simmons uses highly saturated color and large formats, ranging from 20 by 24 inches to more recent work as large as 84 by 48 inches. Housewives, ballerinas, cowboys, tourists, and ventriloquists' dummies populate her diverse tableaux, which are often infused with a bittersweet sense of nostalgia yet charged with a disquieting sense of dislocation. In Laurie Simmons: Walking, Talking, Lying, Kate Linker concentrates on selected series - from "Ventriloquism," "Walking Objects," and "Lying Objects" to the 1997 Self-Portraits and the "Cafe of the Inner Mind" - to illuminate ideas that cut through the artist's entire body of work. Of particular interest are the willfully ambiguous interplay between objects, figures, and backgrounds, and the way specific things (toys, cakes, guns) and settings (suburban interiors, theatrical stages) take on strange powers in Simmons's photographs. As Linker makes clear, the artist's use of narrative links her to a number of contemporary fiction writers, while her fondness for artifice, advertising, childhood memory, and unabashed eclecticism relates to - and has helped shape - the heated debates of the past thirty-some years about the nature of photography.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Monkey Wrenches and Household Saints : Recent Sculpture by John Newman" . It is an exhibition catalog with color photographs of Newman's work. The catalog celebrates the exhibition held from September 5 to October 7, 2005 at the Clifford Gallery, Little Hall , at Colgate University. "Jon Newman's sculptures demand a commitment to the pleasure and exigency of discovery : of unconscious desires, aesthetic bliss, physical incongruity. Like the Surrealists' objets interprétés, poetic transformations result from the displacement and juxtaposition of unrelated objects, and meaning is attributed by the negation of any real or imagined function. Marble and foam core, bronze and bamboo, lead and crystal and broken glass are ; melded and moulded into forms that remain intimate in scale while at the same time are suggestive of an expansive imagination. "Inspiration comes from many sources and in numerous forms : Indian baskets, Japanese puppets and samurai helmets, African sceptres, all of which inform a process that might be called 'structural improvisation': a controlled , almost mathematical precision coupled with unconscious, automatic improvisation. Letting the imagination roam freely, Newman methodically works his materials while at the same time allowing them to dictate variations in compositional structure, much like free jazz, with its limitless, often impenetrable and dissonant fluctuations."
