Harris, Lawren; Hubbard, R.H.; Morris, J.S. [Introduction]
Group of Seven - Vancouver Art Gallery, 1954 [Exhibition Catalogue]
pp. 80. "Although paintings by members of the Group of Seven have been included in all major exhibitions of Canadian painting, there has been only one important exhibition devoted exclusively to their work since 1933, when the Group of Seven was merged into the larger Canadian Group of Painters: this was held at the National Gallery of Canada in 1936. The present exhibition, then, may be regarded as the second such survey. It differs from the first by the addition of works by Franz Johnston, who was a member of the Group for a short time, and Tom Thomson, who was never a member, but who has been included in this exhibition on grounds of style and association. This is certainly the first time that any major collection of the work of the Group of Seven has been seen in Vancouver." - Introduction. Includes article by Lawren Harris entitled "The Story of the Group of Seven" and an article by R.H. Hubbard entitled "The National Movement in Canadian Painting". Catalogue proper begins on page 19 and includes colour and black and white reproductions of thirty-one works. Unmarked with moderate wear. 23 x 15cm. Lerner & Williamson 1747 Book

LUCREZIA DE DOMIZIO DURINI
THE SCULPTURE OF THOUGHT. LA SCULTURA DEL PENSIERO: MARCO AGOSTINELLI. (EDIZIONE INGLESE-ENGLISH EDITION)
RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. Il volume è incentrato sulla figura di Marco Agostinelli, artista di fama internazionale nel campo della videoarte, e sulla sua produzione artistica più recente, frutto di una personale ricerca condotta nell'ambito della tecnologia applicata all'arte. Agostinelli trae le sue immagini dalla vita reale, le trasforma sottoponendole a svariati processi deformanti fino a che, smaterializzate e quasi disciolte, formano delle trame evanescenti che si fissano sul supporto lucido di metallo, creando le cosiddette ""sculture del pensiero"". Dieci letture approfondiscono gli aspetti di questa particolare espressione artistica, che coinvolge attivamente lo spettatore inducendolo a osservare non immagini statiche, bensì figure tridimensionali e cangianti, la cui percezione è diversa a seconda della personalità e della sensibilità dell'osservatore. Chiudono il volume un'intervista realizzata dalla curatrice all'autore e una biografia. Le 19 opere chiamate “sculture del pensiero” sono tratte dall'opera video TeleVisionCross del 2003 che Marco Agostinelli ha proiettato sull'antica Torre del Rivellino di Cetona e sul Fortino Sant'Antonio di Bari nell'ambito della manifestazione. Informazioni bibliografiche Titolo: La scultura del pensiero: Marco Agostinelli Collana: Volume 10 di Il clavicembalo Curatore: Lucrezia De Domizio Durini Editore: Milano: Silvana, 2004 Edizione: Inglese; English Edition ISBN: 8882156931, 9788882156930, 9788882156947 Lunghezza: 133 pagine; 25 cm Soggetti: Arte, Movimenti e stili artistici, Scultura, Sculpture of the Mind, Roberta Semeraro, Massimo Donà, Pittura, Painting, Digital sculpture, Artisti creation, Alberto Fiz, Aldo Roda, Saverio Monno, Antonio D'Avossa, Pierparide Tedeschi, Poetry, Contemporanea, Monografie

"This book, at once biographical and critical, is based on a detailed study of the work and many conversations iwth Jacklin, and provides the definitive mid-career survey of a distinctive and original figure in British and American Art." -- from the flyleaf. In 1985, Bill Jacklin moved to New York. Since that time, the city has been his primary subject. His work in New York explores many different aspects of the city; his paintings often focus on the city's famous landmarks. However, many of his paintings involve large crowds that are constantly in flux or in smaller, more intimate moments. In 1991, Jacklin was elected a Royal Academician. Two years later, he became the Official Artist-in-Residence for the British Council in Hong Kong. Jacklin?s work can be found in many museums and galleries around the world, including the Arts Council of Britain, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the Tate gallery in London, which is home to such works as Northern Light and Catena. Today, Jacklin continues to live and paint in New York.
