Simon Hantaï and the Reserves of Painting
The Hungarian-born French painter Simon Hantaï (1922–2008) is best known for abstract, large-format works produced using pliage: the painting of a crumpled, gathered, or systematically pleated canvas that the artist then unfolds and stretches for exhibition. In her study of this profoundly influential artist, Molly Warnock presents a persuasive historical account of his work, his impact on a younger generation of French artists, and the genesis and development of the practice of pliage over time. Simon Hantaï and the Reserves of Painting covers the entirety of Hantaï’s expansive oeuvre, from his first aborted experiments with folding around 1950 to his post-pliage experiments with dig...
Slideshow
Since the 1960s, an international group of artists has embraced slide projection as a dynamic alternative to the tradition of painting, blending aspects of photography, film, and installation art. Slide Show is the first in-depth examination of how slides evolved into one of the most exciting art forms of our time. Essays by leading scholars and 200 color illustrations provide visual, historical, and critical insight into this unique medium.

Fierce Poise
A National Book Critics Circle finalist • One of Vogue's Best Books of the Year A dazzling biography of one of the twentieth century's most respected painters, Helen Frankenthaler, as she came of age as an artist in postwar New York “The magic of Alexander Nemerov's portrait of Helen Frankenthaler in Fierce Poise is that it reads like one of Helen's paintings. His poetic descriptions of her work and his rich insights into the years when Helen made her first artistic breakthroughs are both light and lush, seemingly easy and yet profound. His book is an ode to a truly great artist who, some seventy years after this story begins, we are only now beginning to understand.” ―Mary Gabriel, ...

He moved to France in 1948. He is considered as a major figure of the abstract painting. He produced a complex and multiple work marked starting 1960 by the use of "folding as a method".
Transatlantique - Martin Barré
A major figure in French abstraction of the late 20th century, Martin Barré (1924-1993) probed the fundamental parameters of painting for five decades. During the last 15 years, his work has received increasing attention in the United States. For Transatlantique, Molly Warnock brings together six American artists who share their invaluable perspectives on this decisive work.

James Bishop
Huit artistes réunis par Molly Warnock, parmi les nombreux qui ont été profondément marqués par l'œuvre aussi rare que décisive de James Bishop (1927-2021) de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique, partagent leur regard sur le peintre américain. L'œuvre du peintre américain James Bishop (1927-2021), installé principalement en France dès 1958, s'est développée singulièrement en regard des traditions européennes et nord-américaines de l'abstraction d'après-guerre. Employant un langage pictural unique révélant le processus de création, Bishop investit pendant trente ans aussi bien l'espace des toiles que des papiers. A partir de 1987, il privilégie exclusivement la surface restreinte et intimiste des papiers.
Concerning the Spiritual—and the Concrete—in Kandinsky’s Art
This book examines the art and writings of Wassily Kandinsky, who is widely regarded as one of the first artists to produce non-representational paintings. Crucial to an understanding of Kandinsky's intentions is On the Spiritual in Art, the celebrated essay he published in 1911. Where most scholars have taken its repeated references to "spirit" as signaling quasi-religious or mystical concerns, Florman argues instead that Kandinsky's primary frame of reference was G.W.F. Hegel's Aesthetics, in which art had similarly been presented as a vehicle for the developing self-consciousness of spirit (or Geist, in German). In addition to close readings of Kandinsky's writings, the book also includes...
