Beatriz Milhazes is a Brazilian artist, born in 1961 in Rio de Janeiro. Milhazes is known for her work juxtaposing Brazilian cultural imagery and references to western Modernist painting.
New works from the celebrated Brazilian virtuoso of joyously chromatic abstraction Published in conjunction with the Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes' (born 1960) first solo exhibition at Pace since she joined the gallery in 2020, this book spotlights 10 vibrant, large-scale paintings she created during pandemic quarantine, as well as an immersive multimedia installation titled Gamboa III(2020), which incorporates materials found in carnival props. Including additional images of Milhazes' previous sculptural works and new texts that illuminate her highly generative practice, the publication immerses readers in the artist's colorful, spiritual world. An essay by curator Mark Godfrey explores Milhazes' art as it relates to the terms "landscape" and "logo," "structure" and "spontaneity" and "surface" and "spirituality"; and a conversation between Milhazes and fellow artist Polly Apfelbaum delves into Milhazes' emergence within the international art scene and her relationship with her practice today.

“Richly rethinks one of art’s everlasting topics.” —Art & Auction Leading artists of the twenty-first century are reviving the still life, a genre that once was more associated with the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Old Masters than with contemporary art. The audacious still lifes celebrated here challenge that historical supremacy and redefine what it means to be a work of nature morte (literally translated from the French: “dead nature”). Whether through painting, drawing, sculpture, video, or other media, contemporary artists have drawn on the centuries-old tradition to create works of conceptual vivacity, beauty, and emotional poignancy. Structured according to the class...
For more than thirty years, Jean Luc Mylayne has been photographing the birds of his native France. The creation of each image is a laborious process which can take months as Mylayne returns to the same location, day after day, waiting for his "actors," the birds, to play their parts before his lense. Mylayne asserts that the birds - he particularly focuses on bluebirds indigenous to Western Europe and the Western United States - are willing participants in the making of the picture. This is Jean Luc Mylayne's first book, and will accompany a U.S. exhibition.
