Mark Innerst. by Innerst, Mark,1957-artist.(CARDINAL)302615; Burns, Edward,1944-author.(CARDINAL)357472; D.C. Moore Gallery,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)226733;

Mark Innerst is a painter who transforms the urban and rural landscape, investing it with a radiant beauty and complexity. Cities like New York and Philadelphia can simultaneously appear majestic, immense, and serene, as streetscapes become a series of soaring verticals or stacked, layered blocks of color. Buildings curve overhead or sweep downward to street level, where human activity is reduced to blurs of light and movement. In his new Midtown series, inspired in large part by the towers that line Manhattan's Sixth Avenue in the forties and fifties, as well as in his paintings of downtown Philadelphia, Innerst reduces architecture to abstracted elements, stripes and geometric shapes, that recede in rhythmic progressions to either an opening at the end of an urban canyon or the façade of another building, closing the view in upon itself. Innerst also paints panoramic vistas of rivers and estuaries, atmospheric landscapes intersected by prismatic hues that create bold visual effects. By emphasizing the refraction of light in these luminous environments, some of which include industrial buildings on a low horizon in the distance, he invites us to reflect on the interplay between an idealized landscape and the modern world. From his exacting use of glazes to his handmade frames, Innerst adapts tradition to his contemporary intentions. In his new work, he continues to draw upon the great tradition of nineteenth century European and American painting and the structural and expressive use of color as explored in mid-twentieth-century abstraction, as Edward Burns notes in his catalogue essay. His paintings are vibrant and inventive, anchored in his immediate environment, while at the same time, transcending everyday perception with a dynamic vision of the modern world. -- Press release.

The state of the art / by Danto, Arthur C.,1924-2013,author.(CARDINAL)129620; Prentice Hall Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)758185;

"An art critic who weaves Nietzsche and Hegel into journalism is rare, but Danto, who writes for the Nation, turns out philosophically informed criticism with pungency and bite. He reminds us that most 20th century art, until recently, has been revolutionary or religious, viewed by its makers as a means of spiritual transformation. He skewers the fashionable and chic with critiques of Julian Schnabel, Jonathan Borofsky and others. His send-ups are all the more devastating for being good-natured and philosophically anchored. Sometimes his approach is pedantic and the reader grows impatient. Danto is equally interesting whether he is reassessing famous masters (Chagall, Van Gogh, Durer) or unraveling contemporaries whom he admires (Robert Motherwell, Leon Golub). He provocatively argues that recent major exhibitions on primitivism in modern art and on India were stupendously misguided."--PW.

Ad Reinhardt : "art is art...and everything else is everything else" / by Reinhardt, Ad,1913-1967,artist,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)142513; Bacon, Alex,contributor.(CARDINAL)783047; Fontán del Junco, Manuel,1963-editor,contributor.(CARDINAL)856253; Karmel, Pepe,contributor.(CARDINAL)201576; Peiffer, Prudence,contributor.(CARDINAL)864252; Piña Méndez, Miguel,contributor.; Teixidor, Jordi,1941-contributor.(CARDINAL)271563; Toledo Gutiérrez, María,editor,contributor.(CARDINAL)856252; Yturralde, José María,1942-contributor.(CARDINAL)856254; Zelevansky, Lynn,contributor.(CARDINAL)206361; Distributed Art Publishers,distributor.(CARDINAL)784868; Fundación Juan March,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)148229;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-238).NCMA Collection,"The first monographic exhibition on the artist in Spain and one of the most complete surveys ever curated in Europe, Art Is Art and Everything Else Is Everything Else illustrates Ad Reinhardt's tremendous influence on Abstract Expressionism as well as subsequent contemporary art styles. Reinhardt's paintings are rarely representational and are instead composed of geometrics and eventually only color: canvases of all red, all blue, all black. Organized with the institutional support of the Ad Reinhardt Foundation, this catalog includes a selection of approximately 50 paintings and works on paper, spanning Reinhardt's career from early drawings, paintings and collages to later works characterized by a progressive reduction of color and form. Another focal point of the volume is Reinhardt's passions and artistic pursuits beyond painting, including his slides, writings on art, illustrations in newspapers, books, magazines and pamphlets, and his comics satirizing the art world and politics. Ad Reinhardt (1913-67) was born in Buffalo, New York, and studied art history at Columbia University from 1931 to 1935, after which he participated in the WPA Federal Art Project initiative. Reinhardt soon became an official member of the newly formed American Abstract Artist group alongside painters such as Josef Albers and Jackson Pollock. He exhibited regularly and taught at Brooklyn College for the remainder of his life." -- Publisher's description

Count on me / by Tanco, Miguel,1972-author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)564611;

A young girl sees the world differently in this beautiful picture book celebration of math. Everyone has a passion. For some, it's music. For others, it's art. For our heroine, it's math. When she looks around the world, she sees math in all the beautiful things: the concentric circles a stone makes in a lake, the curve of a slide, the geometric shapes in the playground. Others don't understand her passion, but she doesn't mind. There are infinite ways to see the world. And through math is one of them. This book is a gorgeous ode to something vital but rarely celebrated. In the eyes of this little girl, math takes its place alongside painting, drawing and song as a way to ponder the beauty of the world.Accelerated Reader AR

The other side : a story of women in art and the spirit world / by Higgie, Jennifer,author.(CARDINAL)650040;

Includes bibliographical references and index."It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men - including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee - without repercussion. The fact that so many radical women artists of their generation - and earlier - also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has for too long been sorely neglected. In The Other Side, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women, from the twelfth-century mystic, composer and artist Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist Georgiana Houghton, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson Pollock; the early twentieth-century Swedish artist, Hilma af Klint, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose recent exhibition at New York's Guggenheim broke all attendance records; the 'Desert Transcendentalist', Agnes Pelton, who painted her visions beneath the vast skies of California; the Swiss healer, Emma Kunz, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients; and the British surrealist and occultist, Ithell Colquhoun, whose estate of more than 5,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique, the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with, and learn from, other dimensions. Weaving in and out of these myriad lives, sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual, the gender exclusions of art history, the contemporary relevance of myth, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalised group of artists, The Other Side is an intoxicating blend of memoir, biography and art history"--

Richard Diebenkorn : the catalogue raisonné / by Livingston, Jane,editor.(CARDINAL)144567; Liguori, Andrea,editor.(CARDINAL)629629; Diebenkorn, Richard,1922-1993.Works (2016); Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.(CARDINAL)152526; Richard Diebenkorn Foundation.(CARDINAL)337907;

Includes bibliographical references.Volume 1. Essays and references -- Volume 2. Catalogue entries 1-1534 -- Volume 3. Catalogue entries 1535-3761 -- Volume 4. Catalogue entries 3762-5197.The celebrated American artist Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) was a singular figure in postwar American art. Early in his career, he created abstract paintings that combined landscape influence, aerial perspective, and a deeply personal calligraphic language. Then, in late 1955, he began working in a representational mode (landscapes, figure studies, and still lifes) and was associated with the Bay Area figurative movement. Diebenkorn later abandoned figurative references in the 1960s and embarked on monumental abstract, geometrical compositions, including his celebrated Ocean Park works. This four-volume catalogue raisonné is the definitive resource on Diebenkorn's unique works, including his paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional objects. The first volume gives an overview of the artist's career, featuring essays by noted scholars John Elderfield, Ruth E. Fine, Jane Livingston, Steven Nash, and Gerald Nordland, as well as an illustrated chronology, list of exhibitions, bibliography, and selection of studio notes. The second volume spans his student and early abstract works; the third volume features his representational works during the Berkeley period; and the fourth volume covers his later periods, as well as his drawings and sketchbooks. Many of the more than five thousand works illustrated in this catalogue are being published for the first time, and with new color photography that showcases his work like never before.
