Abstract

In his introduction, Louis K. Meisel describes the techniques of the Photo-Realists and demonstrates convincingly that the Photo-Realists constitute a school of their own. He shows how different artists transfer images from photographic films to canvas, and illustrates with details of paintings how various effects are achieved with traditional brushes or the use of an airbrush. Every painting by each artist made before 1979 is reproduced, with complete information about mediums and technique. Each chapter closes with biographical information, a listing of solo and selected group exhibitions, and a full bilbiography.

Abstract

It has often been pointed out that twentieth-century painting and physics share a common tendency toward probing behind appearances into the underlying structure of things; that the 'retreat from likeness' in painting is akin to science's peering far within the surface of matter. The results of their probings are also significantly similar: extra-dimensionality connects Cubism and relativity; and random, indeterminate processes occur both in recent expressionist painting and in quantum physics. But although the common culture implicit in these parallels has often been remarked, not until now has it been studied in depth and in detail. The author provides a concise summary of those aspects of modern science that relate to his theme, including the development of a 'third science' that embraces information, communication, automation, and systems theory. He also provides in parallel a concise history of the modern movement in painting. Treating only those artists whose work clearly illustrates his viewpoint, he divides those active before the Second World War into two broad groups, the Geometricizers (members of such movements as Cubism, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus), who sought to make manifest the essential form of reality; and the Magicians (including Chirico, Kandinsky, the Dadaists, and the Surrealists), who transformed reality in accordance with their own internally developed laws. Postwar reactions, continuations, and new starts, including some very recent trends, are discussed....

Abstract

A fresh and new overview of this treasured West Coast artist, with hundreds of his paintings, drawings, and prints covering five decades of his illustrious career. The book surveys the extraordinary achievements of Diebenkorn, who successfully explored both abstract and figurative painting. Produced in a slipcase box, this is the ultimate source for art enthusiasts, from his early work of the mid-1940s to his Berkeley and Ocean Park series. The book includes not only his iconic paintings of the California landscape and interior figures but also many of his less-well-known and rarely published works. Art historian Sasha Nicholas discusses Diebenkorn ' place in postwar American painting and his independence from the art-world trends. Steven Nash conducts an interview with close friend Wayne Thiebaud, giving an artist s point of view. The two artists shared the inspiration of California and experimented with perspective to capture their surroundings.

Abstract

Over the past seventy years, a staggering array of new pigments and binders has been developed and used in the production of paint, and twentieth-century artists readily applied these materials to their canvases. Paints intended for houses, boats, cars, and other industrial applications frequently turn up in modern art collections, posing new challenges for paintings conservators. This volume presents the papers and posters from "Modern Paints Uncovered," a symposium organized by the Getty Conservation Institute, Tate, and the National Gallery of Art and held at Tate Modern, London, in May 2006. Professionals from around the world shared the results of research on paints that have been available to artists since 1930?the date that synthetic materials began to significantly impact the paint industry. Modern Paints Uncovered showcases the varied strands of cutting-edge research into the conservation of contemporary painted surfaces. These include paint properties and surface characteristics, analysis and identification, aging behavior, and safe and effective conservation techniques
