A three-time winner of the Caldecott Medal, David Wiesner is one of the most highly acclaimed book illustrators in the world. This volume is the first to examine his creative process and his many sources of inspiration. The book features dozens of color plates, from early work to the watercolors that are the basis of his best-known books, along with pages excerpted from his first graphic novel, Fish Girl. Also included are works by some of the artists most influential to Wiesner, including Marvel comic book legends, Surrealist and avant-garde masters, and mid-20th-century graphic artists. While illustration has often been marginalized in the world of fine art, the vibrant interplay among paintings, prints, comic books, graphic novels, iconic 20th-century films, and cartoons in Wiesner's art gives evidence to the complexity of the American tradition of picture book illustration.

The story of contemporary art / by Godfrey, Tony,author.(CARDINAL)182722;
Includes bibliographical references and index.On contemporary art and artists -- The wreckage of Modernism and after: 1945-1979 -- The return of painting: the early 1980s -- Taking the photograph seriously: the 1980s continued -- Sculpture, installations or commodities? Around 1987 -- National art or global art? 1989 -- For a community, oneself or one's soul? The late 1990s -- The spectacular or the everyday? 200-2004 -- Storytelling or abstraction? 2005-2009 -- Auction art or Biennale art? 2010-2014 -- Art in the age of surveillance capitalism: 2015 onwards.What does it mean? Is it really art? Why does it cost so much?" While these questions are perpetually asked about contemporary art, they are not the questions that E. H. Gombrich set out to answer in his seminal book 'The Story of Art'. Contemporary art is very different from what came before. From the 1960s, where Gombrich's account concludes, artists began to abandon traditional forms of art and started to make work that questioned art's very definition. This is where Godfrey picks up the story. Developments in contemporary art have followed no straightforward line of progress or sequence of movements. Recognizing this, Tony Godfrey creates a narrative from a series of often dramatic creative conflicts and arguments around what art is or should be. From object versus sculpture and painting versus conceptual to local versus global, gallery versus wider world, The Story of Contemporary Art traces a history in terms of drastic changes in social and political life over the last sixty years. How do we experience being human in a world that seems to change so quickly? In exploring art's relationship to this question, Godfrey asserts that multiple voices must be heard: critics, theorists, curators and collectors, but also audiences and artists themselves. Key to the book is the story of how a perception that art was made almost exclusively by white men from North America and Western Europe has been radically overturned.

Graphic art is a broad term historically, and primarily, reserved for 2-D art processes and visual artistic expressions such as drawing, painting, photography, illustrating, calligraphy, etching, printmaking, and graphic design. Textural elements are important in graphic art and may be achieved through the choice of the medium and even the paper, canvas, stone, or wall-including cave walls-that are used as the foundation for the artwork"--Ages 14-18Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher.
