Many consider Barry Schwabsky to be the critic on painting today, even if he does write copiously on other art forms, write editors Rob Colvin and Sherman Sam in their foreword to this selection of Schwabsky's writings. Written since the turn of the millennium, the texts in 'The Oberver Effect' include meditations on the broader context of painting today alongside reflections on such well-known American painters as Alex Katz, Kerry James Marshall, Nicole Eisenman, and Dana Schutz, as well as practitioners from Europe and beyond, Bernard Frize, Tal R, and Ha Chonghyun among them. As Colvin and Sam point out, the book documents a dialogue between abstraction and the image in which images serve less to represent their described subject than to articulate the sort of painting each one desires to be.

Sean Scully (b.1945) is an Irish-born, American-based painter and printmaker, best known for his monumental oil paintings which draw on the traditions of Abstract Expressionism. This beautiful catalogue showcases a new body of work inspired by the National Gallery's own collection and in particular by British artist J. M. W. Turner's The Evening Star (c. 1830). For Scully, this elegiac picture constitutes one of Turner's most profound paintings, leading to new departures in his own work; using the motif of stripes or checkerboards, the artist evokes landscapes and architecture, horizons, fields, and coastlines, in which his contemplative forms become reminders of personal experiences and distinctive moments. Vast, bold panel paintings with richly textured surfaces are illustrated together with delicate works on paper: aquatints, luminous pastels, and watercolors. The accompanying text includes newly commissioned essays and an interview with the artist, while a photo essay highlights the thick impasto, strong brushstrokes, and vivid colors that distinguish Scully's painting. Exhibition: National Gallery, London, UK (13.04-11.08.2019). --

"Cet ouvrage réunit la correspondance du marchand d'art Pierre Matisse et du peintre Joan Miró, entre 1933 et 1983. Reflets d'une relation aussi bien professionnelle qu'amicale entre les deux hommes, les lettres échangées donnent une vision particulière du monde de l'art. Les déclarations d'amitié y côtoient les tensions entre marchands, les réflexions de l'artiste se mêlent aux évocations plus intimes. De la description des œuvres réalisées par Miró, jusqu'à la mise en place des expositions, les échanges retracent les différentes étapes d'une production artistique foisonnante qu'il faut défendre au mieux. Car pour permettre à Miró d'émerger aux États-Unis, Pierre Matisse le dit bien, il faut « ouvrir le feu »." [éditeur]

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.

Le musée Maillol met à l'honneur la collection exceptionnelle de l'industriel Emil Georg Bührle (1890-1956) qui a rassemblé, entre 1936 et 1956, près de 600 oeuvres. Présenté pour la première fois en France (du 20 mars a u 21 juillet 2019), cet ensemble d'une soixantaine de chefs-d'oeuvre parcourt plusieurs courants de l'art moderne : impressionnisme (Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Degas, Renoir, Sisley), postimpressionisme (Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec), Nabis (Bonnard, Vuillard), Fauves (Braque, Derain, Vlaminck), Ecole de Paris (Modigliani), pour finir avec Picasso. Leur confrontation soulignera les liens et les filiations entre les courants artistiques à travers les époques, tout en illustrant l'apport personnel de chacun des peintres à l'histoire de l'art.
