Abstract

This volume provides an exciting opportunity to delve into the creative process of Kara Walker, one of the most celebrated artists working in the United States today. Primarily recognized for her monumental installations, Walker also works with ink, graphite and collage to create pieces that demonstrate her continued engagement with her own identity as an artist, an African American, a woman and a mother.More than 700 works on paper created between 1992 and 2020?which are reproduced in print for the first time from the artist?s own strictly guarded private archive?are collected in this volume, thus capturing Walker?s career with an unprecedented level of intimacy. Since the early 1990s, the foundation of her artistic production has been drawing and working on paper in various ways.Walker?s completed large-format pieces are presented among typewritten notes on index cards and dream journal entries; sketches and studies for pieces appear alongside collages. The result is a volume that allows readers to become eyewitnesses to the genesis of Walker?s art and the transformative power of the figures and narratives she has created over the course of her career.https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/kara-walker-a-black-hole-is-everything-a-star-longs-to-be/

Abstract

"'Drawing is merely the configuration of what you see,' Paul Cézanne wrote, and his practice of drawing, he believed, taught him 'to see well.' Cézanne drew almost daily, hiking out into the hills or into dense forests for views of nature; returning repeatedly to subjects close at hand, such as his wife, his son, his own likeness, and the bottles, pitchers, and fruit in his home and studio; and envisioning scenes, both violent and idyllic, from his imagination. The resulting works, in watercolor and pencil, are some of the artist's most radical, representing with a fresh immediacy the iconic motifs for which he is most recognized: vibrant still lifes, prismatic landscapes, and carefully choreographed bathers. Accompanying a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Cézanne Drawing is a career-spanning appraisal of the artist's works on paper, tracing the development of his practice, illuminating his themes and subjects, exploring his working methods, and ultimately revealing the essential role drawing played in shaping Cézanne's vision."--Publisher description.

Abstract

From 1952 to 1985, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) underwent extensive Freudian analysis that probed her family history, marriage, motherhood, and artistic ambition-and generated inspiration for her artwork. Examining the impact of psychoanalysis on Bourgeois's work, this volume offers insight into her creative process. Philip Larratt-Smith, Bourgeois's literary archivist, provides an overview of the artist's life and work and the ways in which the psychoanalytic process informed her artistic practice. An essay by Juliet Mitchell offers a cutting-edge feminist psychoanalyst's viewpoint on the artist's long and complex relationship with therapy. In addition, a short text written by Bourgeois (first published in 1991) addresses Freud's own relationship to art and artists. Featuring excerpts from Bourgeois's copious diaries, rarely seen notebook pages, and archival family photographs, Louise Bourgeois, Freud's Daughter opens exciting new avenues for understanding an innovative, influential, and groundbreaking artist whose wide-ranging work includes not only renowned large-scale sculptures but also a plethora of paintings and prints. Exhibition: Jewish Museum, New York, USA (opens April 2021).

Abstract

L'histoire du costume et de sa représentation au siècle des Lumières est autant l'illustration réelle d'une culture matérielle qu'une création de l'imaginaire. Au 18e siècle, la naissance de la mode est d'abord celle de nouveaux métiers et d'une presse spécialisée, et constitue le signe d'une transformation accélérée de la société. Le style français, porté à la fois par l'aristocratie et la haute bourgeoisie urbaine, s'impose dans toutes les cours et les villes d'Europe. Pour la première fois, la confrontation d'ouvres picturales avec des costumes du 18e siècle permettra d'explorer une nouvelle mise en scène du corps, entre l'exigence sociale et les caprices du goût. L'exposition réunit près de 200 objets du 18e siècle, issus des grands musées textiles (Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, Musée des tissus de Lyon, Musée de la toile de Jouy, Musée de la Chemiserie et de l'Elégance Masculine) et de beaux-arts (Nationalmuseum de Stockholm, Rijksmuseum d'Amsterdam, Victoria and Albert Museum de Londres, Versailles, Louvre, Ecouen, Nantes, Dijon, Tours, Orléans..). Des tableaux emblématiques (La Duchesse de Polignac d'Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun et La Marchande de modes de François Boucher, Nationalmuseum de Stockholm) côtoieront textiles précieux dessins inédits, vêtements et accessoires, dont certains spécialement restaurés pour l'exposition. Le parcours de l'exposition se déploie en quatre univers distincts, comme autant de facettes qui explorent le lien entre les peintres et la fabrique de la mode.
