Disrupted Realism
Disrupted Realism is the first book to survey the works of contemporary painters who are challenging and reshaping the tradition of Realism. Helping art lovers, collectors, and artists approach and understand this compelling new phenomenon, it includes the works of 38 artists whose paintings respond to the subjectivity and disruptions of modern experience. Widely published author and blogger John Seed, who believes that we are "the most distracted society in the history of the world," has selected artists he sees as visionaries in this developing movement. The artists' impulses toward disruption are as individual as the artists themselves, but all share the need to include perception and emotion in their artistic process. Six sections lay out and analyze common themes: "Toward Abstraction," "Disrupted Bodies," "Emotions and Identities," "Myths and Visions," "Patterns, Planes, and Formations," and "Between Painting and Photography." Interviews with each artist offer additional insight into some of the most incisive and relevant painting being created today.

Social Realism: Art as a Weapon
In an introductory essay, David Shapiro appraises the roots and achievements of Social Realism, providing an overall framework within which the source material that follows can be understood. Was Social Realism only a response to the economic collapse of the 1930s, or was it part of a continuing American art tradition? A primary selection of documents -- ranging from Hugo Gellert's exultant" We Capture the Walls" (1932) to Oliver Larkin's retrospective "Common Cause" (1949) -- fixes the period's social and aesthetic background. It includes spirited contributions by Diego Rivera, Meyer Schapiro, Stuart Davis, and others. A second selection of documents focuses on five major Social Realists -- Philip Evergood, William Gropper, Jacob Lawrence, Jack Levine, and Ben Shahn -- for closer study. This section includes individual biographical outlines, personal statements by the artists, and representative critical analyses of their work. The book concludes with an especially compiled list of major Social Realists, an extended bibliography, and a detailed index. Includes ten reproductions. --! From book jacket.
