Hilma af Klint : catalogue raisonné / by Almqvist, Kurt,editor.(CARDINAL)818083; Birnbaum, Daniel,1963-editor.(CARDINAL)291651; Klint, Hilma af,1862-1944.Works.; Axel och Margaret Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse,sponsor.(CARDINAL)866717;

Includes bibliographical references."This third volume of the artist's catalogue raisonné collects sketches made in preparation for af Klint's masterwork 'The Paintings for the Temple.' Hilma af Klint rarely exhibited her work during her lifetime, and her magnum opus, The Paintings for the Temple, was shown to the public in the series of exhibitions that started in 2013 at Moderna Museet in Stockholm and ended with the grand exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2018-19. This series of 193 paintings began with af Klint receiving communication from an otherworldly figure during a séance. Specific themes, such as evolution and duality, are conveyed through vivid pastel color schemes and intricate geometric patterns arranged carefully on canvases that reach over ten feet in height. This volume, the third in the artist's first seven-part catalogue raisonné, contains the sketches and preparatory work af Klint made in anticipation of The Paintings for the Temple. af Klint traveled with these sketchbooks so as to be able to show her friends her work in a more accessible format"--Erasmus Boekhandel.The second installment in an epic and authoritative seven-volume Hilma af Klint catalogue raisonné: the pioneering abstractionist's beloved 'The Paintings for the Temple' series. Between 1906 and 1915, Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) created 193 paintings that she would title The Paintings for the Temple. Colorful, mostly abstract, with biomorphic imagery, these works expressed af Klint's mediumistic vision of spiritual reality, which she hoped would ultimately be installed in a round temple for true spiritual comprehension and enlightenment. Since the internationally acclaimed Guggenheim exhibition of 2018-19, these works have come to number among her most popular, defining and beloved. This handsomely produced clothbound volume collects these paintings in the second of a projected and collectible seven-volume catalogue raisonné that will present the entirety of af Klint's work in its dazzling totality for the first time. Produced in cooperation with the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation, it features introductions by Daniel Birnbaum, former head of Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden, and architect of the grand af Klint exhibitions between 2013 and 2019, and Kurt Almqvist, President of the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Public Benefit.

Beverly Fishman. by Fishman, Beverly,artist.(CARDINAL)895508; Hart, Rebecca R.,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)284830; Miles McEnery Gallery,host institution.(CARDINAL)783869;

A Prescription / by Rebecca Hart -- Plates -- Biography -- Select Collections."Miles McEnery Gallery is delighted to present Something For The Pain, Beverly Fishman's third solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition is on view 27 April through 3 June 2023 at 515 West 22nd Street. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Rebecca Hart. From the outset of a four decade career, Beverly Fishman has centered her work around the body, probing abstract investigations of disease, identity, and medicine. Since 1999, her oeuvre has propelled towards the latter, delving into the promises of pharmaceuticals as the means for a cure. Fishman positions the sculptural paintings in Something For The Pain within the concept of polypharmacy--the prescription of multiple medicines to one individual. Glowing fluorescent and smooth matte forms correspond to specific pills as Fishman expertly illustrates the measured precision of an individual's unique prescription. Geometric fragments are stacked into singular compositions; some segments rendered whole and others fractured to imply partial doses. Parenthetical titles pronounce the works to indicate each ailment meant for treatment. Both welcoming and unsettling, Fishman's consistent use of urethane paint on wood lures viewers toward her floating structures; their edges bevel towards the wall, reflecting the neon-painted undersides and creating an artificial glow that mimics a physical light. Both her innate sensibility for color and the sheer scale of the works demand attention that further provokes an interrogation surrounding Big Pharma and one's relationship to the body and its current environment. "Listening carefully to the world around her, the artist co-opts the language of painting--line, color, form, texture-- and compounds it with the art of medicine--diagnosis, management, and sometimes a cure," writes Rebecca Hart. "A prolific maker, Fishman traces the evolution of medical and pharmacologic discovery, injecting it with personal and cultural content... Aggregating this information as source material for her ongoing exploration, Fishman's paintings are bellwethers of the effects of industrialized medicine."" -- Miles McEnery Gallery website."Beverly Fishman (b. 1955 in Philadelphia, PA) received her Master of Fine Arts in 1980 from Yale University and her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Philadelphia College of Art in 1977. Fishman's work has been the subject of recent solo exhibitions at Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY; The Contemporary Dayton, Dayton, OH; Kavi Gupta Gallery, Chicago, IL; Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI; Walter Storms Galerie, Munich, Germany; SOCO Gallery, Charlotte, NC; Gavlak Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Louis Buhl & Co., Detroit, MI; Library Street Collective, Detroit, MI; Ronchini Gallery, London, United Kingdom; Kravets Wehby Gallery, New York, NY; and CUE Art Foundation, New York, NY.

Fishman was inducted as a National Academician of the National Academy of Design in 2020.

Henri Matisse / by Néret, Gilles,author.(CARDINAL)185759; Matisse, Henri,1869-1954.(CARDINAL)141335; Bacon, Josephine,translator.;

Includes bibliographical references (page 250) and index.Simplifying painting -- Fauve in paradise -- Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde -- Oriental carpet -- Temptation of abstraction -- Nice, base of operations -- Harem of the Odalisques -- Monumental architecture of the dance -- Wise old man and the young Giantesses -- Light of desire -- Testament of Pharaoh -- Biography -- Bibliography -- List of paintings and sculptures.The extraordinary significance of the painter and sculptor Henri Matisse in the history of modern art, but also his influence, was no less decisive than that of his main rival, Pablo Picasso. In fact, Matisse's stylistic liberation actually goes one step further in the pursuit of his own personal goal - the perfect synthesis of line and color - by which he sought revolutionary approaches to the great tradition of French painting by drawing upon its classical aspects. For those who wish to know more about this lodestar of modern art and follow the adventurous path of his creative career, this publication is surely the most comprehensive and informative source available. Lavishly illustrated, its authoritative commentaries trace the artist's search for balance, purity and serenity, from the chromatic brilliance of his Fauve period, through his travels, the Orient, geometric synthesis (it was he who introduced Picasso to African art by giving him his first mask), and the odalisques to the final triumph when, at the age of eighty, he invented his gouache cut-outs that culminated in his illustrations for Jazz and allowed him to achieve his goal of sculpting in paint just as a sculptor works in stone. Matisse is widely acknowledged as an artist whose canvases are extremely difficult to reproduce in print. With this in mind, each work presented here has been painstakingly compared with the respective original, in close collaboration with the artist's grandson, Claude Duthuit. The bard of color deserves no less.

Includes bibliographical references and index (pages 612-617) and index."This book is the result of a long process dating back to before Europeans christened an entire continent 'America': the reinterpretation, in modern and contemporary culture, of the forms and meanings of ancient civilizations and Indigenous cultures, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. With essays by some thirty international experts, its pages and its more than eight hundred illustrations take us back to the late eighteenth century and across the nineteenth century through scientific expeditions, archaeological discoveries, the formation of collections, and the subsequent development of historicist architecture. The book then looks at Americanist identity, which became more pronounced in the early twentieth century as a result of the reinterpretation of pre-Columbian knowledge and languages-especially in schools of arts and crafts-that revolutionized graphic design, literature, theater, film, music, and fashion. And finally, turning to the inventions of 'ancestral' culture in the twentieth century-when new artists ventured to once again explore the American continent, collected their finds, and documented them in drawings and photographs-the journey of Before América: Original Sources in Modern Culture brings us back to the present day, revealing how the Amerindian paradigm persists around the world: in geometry and color, in the critical or ironic quoting of the past, in Indigenous-based postmodern architecture, in intentional kitsch, in conceptual refinement, and in the sophisticated revitalization of ancient arts and crafts, now full of new and fascinating sociopolitical and aesthetic meanings"--Catalog of an exhibition held at Fundación Juan March, Madrid, Spain, October 6, 2023 to March 10, 2024.

Sean Scully : LA deep. by Scully, Sean,1945-artist.(CARDINAL)179443; Lisson Gallery (Los Angeles, Calif.),publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)885576;

Sean Scully returns to Los Angeles almost 50 years after making his US debut there, unveiling a selection of new and older works at Lisson's recently-launched LA space. Celebrating the development of his practice over five decades, this era-spanning exhibition draws formal and conceptual resonances between Scully's earliest grid paintings, which were first shown in Santa Monica in 1975, all the way forward to equally innovative, large-scale works from 2023. Scully's so-called Supergrid series of works began while still a student in London and Newcastle in the UK during the 1960s, progressing towards a sophisticated language of overlapping, interwoven stripes painted between taped boundaries. Influenced by his tutor Ian Stephenson, whose dripped and dotted paintings featured in Michelangelo Antonioni's Swinging Sixties film Blow Up, Scully began working on his own complex, focus-pulling compositions that likewise refused to fully reveal themselves at first sight, allowing only glimpses into its structure and necessitating prolonged viewing times. In epic feats of labor and painterly engineering, Scully built up dozens of horizontal and vertical lines, only to intensify this grid with multiplying layers of crisscrossing diagonals, creating expansive panels that exceeded even his tall frame and bodily span.Perhaps the apotheosis of this period is Scully's monumental work, Blaze (1971), a dizzying matrix of neon pinks, sports-car reds and flame-licked yellows. Subtlety and variation in color treatment followed in the similarly dynamic and optically disorienting square field of Second Order ư (1974), while the space between surface and ground is further disrupted by Final Grey ư (1974), which still features the strips of tape clinging to the work and providing another porous and translucent framework. This knotty, woven texture reappears half a century later in the newest painting here, entitled Dark In (2023). The brushmarks have long ago loosened, widened and now incorporate many more than a single, bold color in each sweep, following more naturalistic and gestural shades and contours in comparison to the sleek, rectilinear lines of the 1970s. Here too the picture plane is broken up, though not by tape, but by an inserted aluminum panel of a newly rotated and concentrated lattice work. Among other newer paintings are two recent triptychs, including the centrally located Guadalupe (2022), which revisits the scale and ambition of Blaze, only now the eye is moved between chunky, rugged blocks of unfathomably deep moss-green and maroon hues, which sit on a buzzing, glowing, chessboard backdrop. In the intervening years between these disparate bodies of gridded paintings, Scully himself moved to the US fulltime in 1975, settling in New York after a long cross-country road trip. He has returned many times since to show in California, with his own written recollections and photographs of these formative visits included in an accompanying catalogue to this exhibition, also featuring texts by art critics Peter Frank and Donald Kuspit. -- Taken from Gallery's website :Sean Scully is one of the most important painters of his generation, whose work is held in major museum collections around the world. While known primarily for his large-scale abstract paintings, comprised of vertical and horizontal bands, tessellating blocks and geometrical forms comprised of gradated and shifting colours, Scully also works in a variety of diverse media, including printmaking, sculpture, watercolour and pastel. Having developed a style over the past five decades that is uniquely his own, Scully has cemented his place in the history of painting. His work synthesises a thoroughly international collection of influences and personal perspectives - ranging from the legacy of American abstraction, with inspiration from the likes of Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, and that of European tradition, with nods to Henri Matisse and Piet Mondrian, as well as references to classical Greek architecture. While monumental in scale and gesture, Scully's work retains an undeniable delicacy and sincerity of emotion. Sean Scully was born in Dublin in 1945 and raised in South London. Wanting to be an artist from an early age, Scully attended evening classes at the Central School of Art in London from 1962 to 1965, and enrolled full time at Croydon College of Art, London from 1965 until 1968. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Newcastle University in 1972. He was awarded the Frank Knox Fellowship to Harvard University in 1972, where he visited the United States for the first time. In 1975, he moved to New York full-time. Today, he lives and works between New York and Bavaria. With a career that spans more than five decades, he has received numerous accolades and has been the subject of multiple touring exhibitions. In 2014, he became the first Western artist to have a career-length retrospective in China. Follow the Heart: The Art of Sean Scully 1964 - 2014 included over 100 paintings and travelled from Shanghai to Beijing. Scully was named a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2013 and has received honorary degrees from institutions such as the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston; the National University of Ireland, Dublin; Universitas Miguel Hernandez, Valencia; Burren College of Art, National University of Ireland; Newcastle University, UK, among others. A series of essays and conversations between Scully and the esteemed art critic Arthur Danto was published by Hatje Cantz in 2014, and a collection of Scully's own writing, selected speeches and interviews, Inner, was released in 2016. -- Full biography available at:

Guggenheim Museum,host institution.(CARDINAL)142934;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 296-301)."Published in conjunction with a major retrospective, this comprehensive volume illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell's incredibly diverse and exciting body of work--from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether he's projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light"--Evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date--from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr"--

Corner / by Zo-O,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)861891; Jang, Ellen,translator.;

"In this (almost wordless) picture book, the sole character, a crow, finds themselves in a new and completely empty space. With nothing to do, boredom sets in, and the crow decides to take matters into their own hands. The crow starts to decorate, adding a bed, a bookshelf, a lamp, and even a potted plant. Everything is placed neatly in the corner of the room, and slowly the corner begins to reflect the life and personality of its occupant. These furnishings help, but it's not enough. The crow spends time watering the plant, reading, sleeping. However, in the end, there's still not much to do but stare at the wall. "Hello?" the crow calls out. But nobody answers. The crow wonders what else they can add to the space to make it their own. They start small, using a small piece of yellow chalk. The reader watches the plant grow as time passes, and the crow draws squares and rectangles on the walls, filling the space with beautiful, glowing geometric patterns. The room fills with colour as the crow thrives in a space complete with wall art, a healthy plant growing taller, and music for dancing. But something is still missing. So, after thinking on it, the crow adds one last thing - a window! "Hello?" the crow asks once again. And this time, they are greeted in return by a passerby on the other side of the window."--AD120L

Amulets, Effigies, Fetishes, and Charms : Native American Artifacts and Spirit Stones from the Northeast / by Lenik, Edward J.,1932-Author(DLC)n 96065672 ;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-174) and index.Northeastern cultural history -- Anthropomorphic or human images -- Terrestrial mammals -- Fish, shellfish, and sea mammals -- Reptiles and amphibians -- Birds and insects -- Geometric and abstract designs -- Retrospective summary: marking places and things -- Appendix: seeing portable rock art.Rounds out Edward J. Lenik's comprehensive and expert study of the rock art of northeastern Native Americans Decorated stone artifacts are a significant part of archaeological studies of Native Americans in the Northeast. The artifacts illuminated in Amulets, Effigies, Fetishes, and Charms: Native American Artifacts and Spirit Stones from the Northeast include pecked, sculpted, or incised figures, images, or symbols. These are rendered on pebbles, plaques, pendants, axes, pestles, and atlatl weights, and are of varying sizes, shapes, and designs. Lenik draws from Indian myths and legends and incorporates data from ethnohistoric and archaeological sources together with local environmental settings in an attempt to interpret the iconography of these fascinating relics. For the Algonquian and Iroquois peoples, they reflect identity, status, and social relationships with other Indians as well as beings in the spirit world. Lenik begins with background on the Indian cultures of the Northeast and includes a discussion of the dating system developed by anthropologists to describe prehistory. The heart of the content comprises more than eighty examples of portable rock art, grouped by recurring design motifs. This organization allows for in-depth analysis of each motif. The motifs examined range from people, animals, fish, and insects to geometric and abstract designs. Information for each object is presented in succinct prose, with a description, illustration, possible interpretation, the story of its discovery, and the location where it is now housed. Lenik also offers insight into the culture and lifestyle of the Native American groups represented. An appendix listing places to see and learn more about the artifacts and a glossary are included. The material in this book, used in conjunction with Lenik's previous research, offers a reference for virtually every known example of northeastern rock art. Archaeologists, students, and connoisseurs of Indian artistic expression will find this an invaluable work.
