Joseph Cornell created a poetic theatre of memory from his fantasies. This volume probes Cornell's imagery in his earliest Surrealist-inspired collages of the 1930s, his box constructions of the 1940s and 1950s, his experimental films, and his final collages in his last years.
Guilt mingles with relief, leaving Drizzt uniquely vulnerable to the persuasions of his newest companion--Dahlia, a darkly alluring elf and the only other member of their party to survive the cataclysm at Mount Hotenow. But traveling with Dahlia is challenging in more ways than one. As the two companions seek revenge on the one responsible for leveling Neverwinter--and nearly Luskan as well--Drizzt finds his usual moral certainty swept away by her unconventional views. Forced to see the dark deeds that the common man may be driven to by circumstance, Drizzt begins to find himself on the wrong side of the law in an effort to protect those the law has failed. Making new enemies, as his old enemies acquire deadly allies, Drizzt and Dahlia quickly find themselves embroiled in battle--a state he's coming to enjoy a little too much.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition to tour both the US and Europe, this volume offers a survey of Kelly's paintings, sculptures, works on paper and photographs. The catalogue spans five decades, beginning in the late 1940s.
Ohne nostalgischen Ton und mit großer Begeisterung erinnert sich der heute weit über achtzigjährige Künstler an sein Leben, seine Arbeit und Begegnungen mit Lehrern und Künstlerkollegen, so an Max Beckmann, Brancusi, Léger und Vantongerloo, den er zeitweise wöchentlich in Paris besuchte, um ihm beim Malen zuzusehen. Mittelpunkt des Buches ist eine Reihe von übermalten und collagierten Postkarten aus den Jahren 1949 - 1984, die er erstmals aus seinem Archiv zur Veröffentlichung freigibt. Anhand dieser „Erinnerungen“ erörtert er sein künstlerisches Credo und seine Entwicklung als ein „künstlerisches Manifest“. Er spricht über sein Interesse an Architektur, über Maler, die ihn beeinflusst haben bis hin zu seinem Entwurf für das World Trade Center. Ellsworth Kelly, born 1923 in Birth Newburgh, NY, USA. Lives and works in upstate New York. Hans Ulrich Obrist, born in 1968 in Zurich, Switzerland. Lives and works in London. Es ist die positive Haltung des großen Einzelgängers in der Kunst der letzten 70 Jahre, die das kleine Buch zu einer großen Lesereise macht.
Enzo Cucchi was a key member of the Italian transavanguardia movement in the eighties which was part of a larger neo-expressionist trend. This catalog celebrates the work of a man who is among the most recognizable Italian artists on the contemporary scene. Collected here are over 100 paintings and drawings from the late seventies to today and held in major institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim in New York, the Beaubourg in Paris, the Louisiana Museum for Moderne Kunst in Humlebæk, and the Stedelijk in Amsterdam (among many others). They offer a highly detailed overview of Cucchi from his official debut on the international art scene onwards, allowing an appreciation of the extraordinary variety and richness of his work.
