In a transitional period of decolonization in Britain Australian painting was briefly seized upon as a dynamic and reinvigorating force in contemporary art and a group of Australian artists settled in London where they held centre stage with group and solo exhibitions in the capital's most prestigious galleries. The book traces the key influences of Sir Kenneth Clark Bernard Smith and Bryan Robertson in their various and varying roles as patrons ideologues and entrepreneurs for Australian art as well as the self-definition and interaction of the artists themselves. Simon Pierse interweaves multiple issues of the period into a cohesive historical narrative including the mechanics of the British art world the limited and frustrating cultural scene of 1950s Australia and the conservative influence of Australian government bodies. Publishing for the first time archival material letters and photographs previously unavailable to scholars either in Britain or Australia this book demonstrates how the work of expatriate Australian artists living in London constructed a distinct vision of Australian identity for a foreign market. . 2011. 140942054X .

Denny's recent works have included investigations into the "architecture" of the TV set itself the genre conventions of documentary and the myriad processes by which content is translated from one medium to another be it in television program stills woven into beach towels or video montages derived from outdated trade magazines.

2010ref. 88178Art Center; D. A. P. . New. Paperback. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 96 pages; 26 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Abstract Resistance considers the metaphor of resistance as a political and compositional force defining the art of the past half-century. Starting with Michel Foucault's assertion that "where there is power there is resistance" it explores art made since World War II that has been shaped by traumatic historical events in complex ways. Rather than creating an explicit art of social protest artists have responded to violence and upheaval with art that rejects the comfort of moral certainty. Such art withholds information and evades identification. Exhibition curator Yasmil Raymond provides an overview of the exhibition's themes and artworks; art historian Simon Baier traces the origins and development of nonobjective art through the writings of critics such as Charles Baudelaire and Meyer Schapiro; and philosopher Marcus Steinweg draws on the ideas of Theodor Adorno and others to provide a theoretical framework for artistic resistance. . 2010. 0935640959 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 188 pp. ; 16 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Ashgate Studies in Architecture; The idea that buildings could be used to reform human behaviour and improve society was fundamental to the 'modernist' architecture and planning of people like Walter Gropius Le Corbusier and Jose Luis Sert in the first half of the 20th century. Their proposals for functional zoning multi-level transport high-rise living and machine-inspired aesthetics came under attack from the 1950s onwards and many alternative approaches to architecture and planning emerged. It was thought that the environmental determinist strand of the discourse was killed off at this time as well. This book argues that it was not but on the contrary that it has deepened and diversified. Many of the most prominent architect-planners continue to design with a view to improving the behaviour of individual people and of society at large. By looking at - and interviewing - major figures and movements of recent years in Britain Europe and America including Leon Krier Peter Eisenman Andres Duany Jane Jacobs Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown it demonstrates the myriad ways that architect-planners seek to shape human behaviour through buildings. In doing so the book raises awareness of this strand within the discourse and examines its different purposes and manifestations. It questions whether it is an ineradicable and beneficial part of architecture and planning or a regrettable throwback to a more authoritarian phase discusses why is it seldom acknowledged directly and whether it could be handled more responsibly and with greater understanding. Richards does not provide any simple solutions but in conclusion is critical of architect-planners who abuse the rhetoric of social reform simply to leverage their attempts to secure building commissions while being more sympathetic towards those who appear to have a sincere desire to improve society through their buildings. . 2012. 1409439224 .

With his unique ability to present imagery that is both disturbing and provocative Cronenberg creates striking films noteworthy not just for their cinematic beauty but also for the philosophical questions they raise. The Philosophy of David Cronenberg examines Cronenberg's body of work from his breakthrough Scanners 1981 through his most recognizable films such as The Fly 1986 and more recent works. Editor Simon Riches and a collaboration of scholars introduce the filmmaker's horrific storylines and psychologically salient themes that reveal his pioneering use of the concept of "body horror" as well as his continued aim to satirize the modern misuse of science and technology. The Philosophy of David Cronenberg also explores the mutation of self authenticity and the human mind as well as language and worldviews. While Cronenberg's films have moved from small-market cult classics to mainstream successes his intriguing visions of humanity and the self endure. . 2012. 0813136040 .

"More than three centuries after his death Rembrandt remains the most deeply loved of all the great masters of painting his face so familiar to us from the self-portraits painted at every stage in his life yet still so mysterious. As with Shakespeare the facts of his life are hard to come by: the Leiden miller's son who briefly found fame in Amsterdam whose genius was fitfully recognized by his contemporaries who fell into bankruptcy and died in poverty. So there is probably no painter whose life has engendered more legends nor to whom more unlikely pictures have been attributed a process now undergoing rigorous reversal. Rembrandt's Eyes about which Simon Schama has been thinking for more than twenty years shows that the true biography of Rembrandt is to be discovered in his pictures. Through a succession of superbly incisive descriptions and interpretations of Rembrandt's paintings threaded into this narrative he allows us to see Rembrandt's life clearly and to think about it afresh. But this book moves far beyond the bounds of conventional biography or art history. With extraordinary imaginative sympathy Schama conjures up the world in which Rembrandt moved -- its sounds smells and tastes as well as its politics; the influences on him of the wars of the Protestant United Provinces against Spain of the extreme Calvinism of his native Leiden of the demands of patrons and the ambitions of contemporaries; the importance of his beloved Saskia and after her death Rembrandt was later forced to sell her grave so complete was his ruin of his mistress Hendrickje Stoffels; and above all the profound effect on him of the great master of the immediately preceding generation the Catholic painter from Antwerp Peter Paul Rubens: 'the prince of painters and the painter of princes' with whom Rembrandt was obsessed for the first part of his life and whose career was the shaping force that drove Rembrandt to test the farthest reaches of his own originality.
