An unprecedented examination of the underexplored late work of the iconic American modernist

Griffin Randall C.: Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia O'Keeffe

The Late Work

A long overdue evaluation of John Walker's work from the last half century.

John Walker

"Lavishly illustrated and filled with rich new insights that are the product of decades' worth of research, Cubism and Reality challenges the commonly-held view of Cubism as either a retreat from reality into abstraction, arguing instead that Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and Juan Gris wanted to find ways of intensifying and expanding painting's capacity to give viewers more, not less, of their lived experience of the world. It explores how Cubist artworks ask us to reflect on visual art's relationship to everyday visual experience, tackling a fundamental issue that has preoccupied artists and critics for over a century: the survival of hand-made representational artworks in the epoch of photography, film and, in the present age, digital reproduction"--

What was Cubism? How did this strange new way of making paintings and sculptures enable artists so decisively to change the trajectory of ‘Modern Art’? In responding to these questions, distinguished art historian Christopher Green presents a bold new interpretation of the movement and three of its key protagonists.
 
Stemming from a critical re-evaluation of the author’s own first responses to Cubist artworks, as a student of the late artist and critic John Golding, Cubism and Reality challenges the commonly-held view of Cubism as either a retreat from reality into abstraction, or an invitation to convert the real into the ‘surreal’, arguing instead that Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and Juan Gris wanted, above all, to find ways of intensifying and expanding painting’s capacity to give viewers more, not less, of their lived experience of the world.

Lavishly illustrated and filled with rich new insights and approaches to the artwork that are the product of decades’ worth of research, Green argues that, for the three artists, ‘reality’ was not objectively always there, but was created by their own perceptions, and could be transformed by their imaginations. The artwork becomes not merely a dead material fact, but somewhere into which wishes, lived experiences and memories can enter – ours, over a century later, as well as theirs. Green explores how Cubist artworks ask us to reflect in far-reaching ways on visual art’s relationship to everyday visual experience and questions how it is that we still believe that drawings, paintings and sculptures can represent the world as we see and know it. In doing so Cubism and Reality tackles a fundamental issue that has preoccupied artists, critics and art enthusiasts for over a century, well into our present age: the survival of hand-made representational artworks in the epoch of photography, film and, latterly, digital reproduction.

Francis Bacon Studies

The fifth volume in the acclaimed Francis Bacon Studies series, published under the aegis of The Estate of Francis Bacon.

'A beautifully written memoir by one of the most important and original artists working today . . . utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie A sparkling memoir and portrait of trailblazing artist Liliane Lijn as a young woman In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. In the years that followed, Lijn built a life for herself in the city. She embraced the hectic bohemian spirit of the Left Bank. She befriended artists, painters, poets, gallerists and revolutionaries, as the late Surrealists gave way to a burgeoning Pop Art movement. She had disastrous love affairs with difficult men. She experimented boldly, creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement. And as her profile steadily grew, she was told again and again that there are no great women artists: 'There never have been.' Liquid Reflections is her memoir of these years of experiment and adventure - years when Lijn was constantly in motion, from Paris to New York to Venice to Athens, from paper and canvas to wax and Perspex to oil and water. In love, she became pregnant but rebelled against the idea that a woman could not be both a great artist and a mother. And she sought - and found - radical pleasure in the act of creative expression and in the living, sensuous world around her. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory account of a singular coming of age: a glittering portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'I wrote LIQUID REFLECTIONS because I wanted to take my readers on the journey I made to become an artist. It's the story of an idealistic, inspired young woman who refuses to accept the prejudices of her time. Becoming an artist was also a search for my own identity...' Liliane Lijn

The long-awaited reprint of the sold-out first edition, Wired is the first book to document the development of wire weaving in African art.&nbsp;With over 270 magnificent full-color images, Wired showcases the works of the most renowned contemporary weavers.&nbsp;The decorative use of wire has long been a feature of African artwork and, with&nbsp;advancements in telecommunications, a new type of wire—multi-colored, plastic-coated copper wire, referred to as telephone wire— became available. In the 1960s, Zulu night watchmen started weaving scraps of this wire around their traditional sticks. The practice became popular among Zulu communities, and today, there is great innovation and creativity&nbsp;in the use of this medium. Artists have produced goods ranging from soft wire bowls and plates to glass bottle covers, tea sets, isikhetho (beer strainers), and pots, all created in a wide variety of colors and complex patterns.The first major exhibition showcasing the spectacular art of telephone-wire weaving in any North American museum opens at the Museum of International Folk Art in NYC on November 17, 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;iNgqikithi yokuPhica / Weaving Meanings: Telephone Wire Art from South Africa was developed in consultation with artists, community members, and other experts with deep connections to wire-weaving communities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Produced in collaboration with the Museum, scholars, and a committee of Indigenous Knowledge Experts,&nbsp;Weaving Meanings shares the histories of wire as an artistic medium in South Africa, from its use as a marker of social status in the 19th-century the early introduction of colorful telephone wire as a recycled material, to the dazzling styles weavers create for local and international markets today.Exhibition schedule:Museum of International Folk Art (MOIFA), Santa Fe, NM (November 17, 2024-November 27, 2025)

Wired: Contemporary Zulu Telephone Wire Baskets

An intimate monograph studying John Sonsini's practice through David Pagel's thoughtful LA Times reviews about his work.When art critic David Pagel realized he had written five reviews about John Sonsini over the past thirty years, this book project was born. Even though he had been covering the work of the Los Angeles-based painter for three decades, they had never met until they began collaborating on this project. The unique, intimate compilation brings together an extensive essay by Pagel—including facsimile reproductions of the original five articles—along with illustrations, plates, and archival pieces that cover Sonsini’s artistic trajectory, from early works to his most recent watercolors and large-scale commissions. Broad Reminders provides a rambling, joyful, engaging look into the world of art and artists, critics, and creators.

The Artist Box: Claude Monet

The major monograph Howard Smith celebrates the far-reaching practice of the multifaceted African-American artist, designer, and collector who spent most of his creative life in Finland.Working with paper, pigments, wood, clay, textiles, and metal, Smith had both fine art and commercial practices. While he designed for industry—planning interior designs for corporate offices, public buildings and a ferry—he especially enjoyed recycling items like scrap metal, used cardboard, and castoff clothing, which he transformed into&nbsp;offbeat compositions.&nbsp;Howard Smith’s work displays an exuberance and generosity characteristic of the man.&nbsp;Immediately recognizable for bold gestures in line, plane, and mass, his creations embrace rich colors and contrasts in material and form. He referred to many of these forms as ‘glyphs,’ vibrant figures that often suggest the human form in posture of celebration.Exhibition schedule: Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs, California (opening May 2025) National Nordic Museum, Helsinki, Finland (dates TBD)

Illuminating Women Artists

This book serves to establish Clara Peeters, one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe in the early 17th century, as a leader in her field. The book not only discusses the artist's biography but also examines the historical and cultural context of Peeters' art, her artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. Part of the first generation of European artists to specialise in still-life painting, Peeters was in fact the only Flemish woman known to have focussed on this genre of painting in the early 17th century. She was also one of the few women to dedicate her professional life to painting in early modern Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations that Clara Peeters encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter of still-life.

Set off on your own Grand Tour for the 21st century with the first book in the new series 'The Art of Travel', which showcases the world's greatest artists, and the cities they lived and worked in. Come on a journey into the heart of Italy's great cities, with its best-loved artists as your tour guides. See the sights through their eyes, and watch their masterpieces come to life. Imagine navigating the backstreets of 17th-century Rome in the dazzling but dangerous company of Caravaggio. Who will you meet as you drop in at the fabulous Villa Borghese - its owner, Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of the pope, or Fillide Melandroni, well-known courtesan and occasional artist's model? Or fast-forward to the 18th century, to the Venice of Canaletto, Casanova and carnevale. With thirteen artists and over a dozen itineraries to choose from, you can immerse yourself in the world of the great and the not-so-good, wandering in and out of churches, palaces and grand residences to admire their work 'in situ' - all from the comfort of your armchair. Each chapter begins with an illustrated map, featuring hand-drawn vignettes that illustrate the artist's often turbulent life, as well as key landmarks and local colour.
