Abstract

In this fascinating and generously illustrated book, Romy Golan explores mural and mural-like works in Europe from the 1920s to the 1950s, beginning with Monet’s installation of the Nymphéas at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, and ending dramatically with Le Corbusier’s huge tapestries in Chandigarh, India. Many artists and critics looked to the mural as a corrective to the ills of painterly Modernism: the disruption of the pictorial field at the hands of Cubism and other avant-garde practices; the commodification of painting through the market for easel paintings; and more generally the alienation of man and the anomie of art in the modern condition. At the same time it was clear that a return to the mural format would never be more than an anachronistic and futile gesture. This book is therefore about mural paintings that are not convinced they belong on walls: such strange objects as mosaics designed to be disassembled; paintings that resemble large-scale photographs, or photomurals; and tapestries that functioned as portable woolen walls. The author argues that the uncertain relation of these objects to the wall is symptomatic of the dilemmas that troubled European art, artists, and architects during the middle decades of the twentieth century.

Abstract

This book and DVD package features profiles of and interviews with the most influential street artists including Banksy, os gêmeos, Invader, Barnstormers, WK Interact, Zevs and André. Street art pioneers Futura, Ramm:ell:zee and Blek Le Rat discuss their own work, and how street art has become a recognized art form born out of the days of subway train graffiti, spraypainting and tagging. The book also introduces Agnès B and other behind-the-scenes players of this new art movement.&#13;&#13;Filmed in New York, London, Paris, São Paulo and Tokyo, the accompanying documentary shows the artists'street savvy survival tactics and their work in action: Zevs practising his 'Visual Attacks' on advertising billboards, Blek le Rat sticking up outsized stencils, os gêmeos painting their lyrical, folklore-inspired murals and Invader putting up his unique mosaic wall-tile images.
