Hardcover. Brown cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. White and color-illustrated dust jacket with black and brown lettering. 112 pp. Color illustrations, BW portrait. "This publication is the first major exploration of the works of American abstract painter and watercolorist Suzan Frecon (b. 1941), critically acclaimed for her sensitive arrangement of color, form, and texture and for the philosophical resonance of her art. By restricting herself to nonrepresentational forms, earth-based colors, and, in the case of her watercolors, "found" pieces of paper, Frecon achieves an unequaled sense of balance and openness in her work. The book features ten oil paintings and thirty watercolors dating from the late 1990s to 2007"--Jacket. VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Stamp on front free end page.

First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new, still in the publisher's original shrink wrap. Physical description; 239 p. : col. ill., col. maps ; 30 cm. Summary; Bamana masks and headdresses, Lega ivories, Dogon sculpture, and Benue bronzes are among the many exquisite African artifacts found in the renowned Menil Collection. This stunning book-the first comprehensive catalogue on the de Menils' collection of African art-features 115 of the museum's finest pieces. Dating primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, these works come from North Africa and the Sahel, Coastal West Africa, and Central and East Africa. An essay by scholar Kristina Van Dyke discusses the formation of the collection, which was inspired in part by its relationship to modernist works and by the couple's interest in human rights. This insightful text also explains how the de Menils' visionary spirit was influenced by African art and places those objects within the context of the whole of the de Menils' collection, in which works from ancient, Byzantine, medieval, modern, Oceanic, and Native American cultures speak to the universal struggle for human understanding. Entries for the selected works were written by leading scholars in the field and are grouped into sections based on regions. Subjects; Menil Collection (Houston, Tex.) Catalogs.

Hardcover. Condizione: NEW. 1st. Pictorial boards, 185 pages, illustrations (some colour); 29 cm. BRAND NEW. A fine copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. A large-format coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "How do today's artists understand and depict notions of love? As witnessed in this compelling book, they often transcend traditional European romantic notions to create representations of love in less familiar manifestations. The title of this volume, The Progress of Love, refers to a group of 18th-century paintings by Jean-Honore Fragonard, who represented love as a contemporary phenomenon rather than in the guise of allegory or fiction. Today's artists go further. Exploring the forces that shape our conceptions of love, The Progress of Love brings together the work of 30 artists from Africa, Europe, the African diaspora, and the New World. Beautiful color images show works in a range of media by a dazzling array of contemporary artists, including Kelechi Amadi-Obi, Zoulikha Bouabdellah, Sophie Calle, Mary Ellen Carroll, Kendell Geers, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Romuald Hazoum, Zanele Muholi, Wura-Natasha Ogunji, and Yinka Shonibare." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The progress of love, by Kristina Van Dyke; Reflections on love in Africa, by Elias K.

First edition. 11 x 9.75 inches. 128 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket. Includes 62 color illustrations. "Luc Tuymans (b. 1958) is a painter engaged with "figuration," using imagery that he reworks in a critical or self-critical way. He combines images from various sources--photographs, film stills, mirror images--with a spare palette, unexpected cropping, and blurring to reinforce the painted image's status as a replica. Perhaps more than any other genre, portraiture allows Tuymans to explore the balance between revealing and concealing, and to comment on history and its perpetrators. Portraits. Luc Tuymans presents 35 paintings from bodies of work ranging over the artist's entire career. Most seem conventional portraits --Himmler, 1997/98, A Flemish Intellectual, 1995--but others, such as Bloodstains, 1993, and Fingers, 1995, exhibit the artist's elliptical approach to re-presentation. Tuymans's canvases are placed in counterpoint to his selections from the Menil Collection: masks, statuary, and paintings from African, ancient Mediterranean, and Native American cultures, as well as European figurative works. The assembly explores such themes as death and memorials, ritual or religion, power, evildoers and altruism" (the publisher). Generally a clean copy.…
