John Stezaker
The expanded second edition of this popular collection of John Stezaker's 'Masks' features the development of the series over the artist's career. Stezaker's long-term fascination with the image is translated into alterations, deletions, visual concordances and juxtapositions of disparate sources, intuitively creating new images, relationships, characters and meanings. The 'Masks' series pursue the artist's ongoing interest with the hidden face, notions of the interior and exterior and blindness.
My Father's Work Shed
This is a collection of poems and paintings written and painted over the course of the past eleven years. The book deals with loss, and the poems and paintings contribute a diffuse sense of the memories, places, and nostalgias that accompany it. The connection to Ireland and my childhood there is heightened by geographic distance and the recent passing of my parents. Though the subject matter is deeply personal, I engage with contemporary art practice. I am concerned with aspects of language and the visual; how they can coexist yet never fully resolve. The paintings explore the legacy of modernist abstraction as much as they deal with personal content. Though I begin with childhood memories I develop a concurrent relationship with light, perception, material, and color; the ever -shifting background of Irish skies informing my complex relationship with twenty-first-century America.
Designing with Light
"In the first chapter of Designing with Light, Meyers summarizes recent developments in the science of light and their cultural impact, and then surveys the uses of light in contemporary visual art, theater, film, and even music. This overview reveals how the work of artists as diverse as videographer Bill Viola, stage director Robert Wilson, and composer John Cage can lend architects insight into the properties of light. Each of the following chapters is devoted to one aspect of light in contemporary architecture, beginning with Color and continuing with Lines, Form, Glass, Windows, Sky Frames, Shadows, and, finally, Reflections. Within these chapters, some two hundred vivid color photographs illustrate the myriad ways in which architects like Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhas, and John Pawson have employed light, internally and externally, in their recent commissions. Enriched with this abundance of images, as well as with numerous insights from Meyers's own architectural practice, Designing with Light will appeal to every student, practitioner, and enthusiast of contemporary architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
Cecily Brown
"Cecily Brown is among the most talented painters of her generation. With a formal repertoire indebted as much to porn magazines, comic books and Hollywood movies as it is to the work of De Kooning, Bacon and Hogarth, Brown not only addresses the subject of painting as inextricable from its own history, she engages with the experience of painting as an intensely physical act." "Published to accompany Brown's first major exhibition in Britain at Modern Art Oxford, this fully illustrated book features reproductions of key paintings from the last five years. Two new essays by the exhibition's curator, Suzanne Cotter and writer and critic Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith offer an overview of Brown's work to date within the context of current painting."--BOOK JACKET.
John Stezaker
For the first time, this large-format volume brings together John Stezaker's uniquesilkscreen works executed between 1977 and 1994. Stezaker is best known forhis intimate collages of film stills, postcards and other found imagery; these mid- tolarge-scale silkscreens add a new, fascinating perspective to the perception of thisinventive British artist. While this body of work seems to contrast with the collages,in fact it uses many of the same techniques, like cutting out, cropping, slicing,over-laying and repetition, and create the dark, cinematic feeling, alternatelymenacing and satirical, that pervades Stezaker's work. Over 65 images accompanya comprehensive essay by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith.
What Do Pictures Want?
The author argues that we need to reckon with images not merely as inert objects that convey meaning but as animated beings with desires, needs, appetites, and drives of their own. He explores this idea and highlights his innovative and profoundly influential thinking on picture theory and the lives and loves of images.
