MY METEORIC RISE TO OBSCURITY
"I was fortunate to work with some of the biggest stars in show business. People such as John Wayne, Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, George Burns, Jack Benny, Cher, Hal Holbrook, Jaime Farr, Rob Reiner, Sharon Gless, Anne Francis, Jack Lemmon, and more. Many of them were dolls.a few were putzes. I, also, got to know lots of studio and network bosses.some creative, most dumb as a doorknob. I earned a heck of a good living during those fifty years. No regrets. Since this is my book, I intend to tell the truth about me and the people I met during my journey. I have no intention to purposely hurt or be ugly about anyone. However, I am honest about the people I mention in this book. My praise and gratitude might embarrass some of my friends and co-workers - but they will get over it. If some of the people think I was too rough or made them out as monsters - so be it. They'll get over it, too."
When Modern Became Contemporary Art
This book is a portrait of the period when modern art became contemporary art. It explores how and why writers and artists in Australia argued over the idea of a distinctively Australian modern and then postmodern art from 1962, the date of publication of a foundational book, Australian Painting 1788–1960, up to 1988, the year of the Australian Bicentennial. Across nine chapters about art, exhibitions, curators and critics, this book describes the shift from modern art to contemporary art through the successive attempts to define a place in the world for Australian art. But by 1988, Australian art looked less and less like a viable tradition inside which to interpret ‘our’ art. Instead...
Art After Appropriation
Beginning with the first comprehensive account of the discourse of appropriation that dominated the art world in the late 1970s and 1980s, Art After Appropriation suggests a matrix of inflections and refusals around the culture of taking or citation, each chapter loosely correlated with one year of the decade between 1989 and 1999. The opening chapters show how the Second World culture of the USSR gave rise to a new visibility for photography during the dissolution of the Soviet Union around 1989. Welchman examines how genres of ethnography, documentary and travel are crossed with fictive performance and social improvisation in the videos of Steve Fagin. He discusses how hybrid forms of subj...
For Pet's Sake, Do Something! Book Three
What can I do to make my pet more comfortable when he or she has to cope with pain, illness, or a chronic condition?” “How can I improve my pet’s overall health?” I can’t begin to tell you how many people have asked me these two questions during individual consultations and workshops. At times, their requests for information have compelled me to search for more effective answers than I was able to provide at the moment. For that reason, I’m very grateful to my clients and students since they’ve often piqued my curiosity to learn much more about topics I might never have researched any further on my own. Because of their queries, while I was writing my second book, Pets Have Fee...
The Other Side
The first major work of art history to focus on women artists and their engagement with the spirit world, by the author of The Mirror and the Palette. It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men—including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee—without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long. In The Other Side, we explore the lives and wor...
Rosalie Gascoigne
Rosalie Gascoigne (1917–1999) was a highly regarded Australian artist whose assemblages of found materials embraced landscape, still life, minimalism, arte povera and installations. She was 57 when she had her first exhibition. Behind this late coming-out lay a long and unusual preparation in looking at nature for its aesthetic qualities, collecting found objects, making flower arrangements and practising ikebana. Her art found an appreciative audience from the start. She was a people person, and it pleased her that through her exhibiting career of 25 years, her works were acquired by people of all ages, interests and backgrounds, as well as by the major public institutions on both sides of the Tasman Sea.
Permanent Revolution
In 1961 the 22-year-old Mike Brown joined the New Zealand artist, Ross Crothall, in an old terrace house in inner Sydney's Annandale. Over the following two years the artists filled the house with a remarkable body of work. Launched with an equally extraordinary exhibition, the movement they called Imitation Realism introduced collage, assemblage and installation to Australian art for the first time. Laying the groundwork for a distinctive Australian postmodernism, Imitation Realism was also the first Australian art movement to respond in a profound way to Aboriginal art, and to the tribal art of New Guinea and the Pacific region. By the mid-1960s Brown was already the most controversial fig...
