LULU IN NEW YORK AND OTHER TALES
Written by Ferguson, Max
American Artist Max Ferguson's paintings often feature solitary figures, brooding atmospheres, and urban landscapes whose narrative and cinematic qualities hint at hidden stories, secrets, and conversations waiting to happen. Writer Robert Power's fiction of longing and resolution, alienation and loving, provide the perfect voice to give life to Ferguson's mysterious paintings.
MARIA LASSNIG: DIALOGUES
Three years after the death of one of the great contemporary artists of Austria, this publication pays homage to the drawings and watercolors of Maria Lassnig (1919-2014), who was known for her powerfully emotional paintings that emphasize the relationship between the physical body and the exterior world around it, be that nature or the urban landscape.
HENRY MOORE: VISION. CREATION. OBSESSION.
Few twentieth-century sculptors created works as distinctive and recognizable as those of English sculptor Henry Moore (1898-1986).
MARCUS JANSEN: AFTERMATH
Marcus Jansen was born in New York to a West Indian mother and a German father. As a young man, he moved to Germany, where he received his education, but art eventually drew him back to New York, where he began to use graffiti. Now, he is one of the most prominent and sought-after working artists, a pioneer of a new urban expressionism in painting.
SHERRIE LEVINE: AFTER ALL
American artist Sherrie Levine uses techniques of appropriation, repetition, and variation to create highly original art that could be no one's work but hers.
EGON SCHIELE
Written by Leopold, Diethard
Few modern artists have such a following today as Egon Schiele (1890-1918), who in his short life created numerous works that draw in casual viewers and dedicated art lovers alike. Though he enjoyed some success during his lifetime, it wasn't until the early 1950s that his lasting importance began to be widely appreciated.
HENRI MATISSE
Written by Muller, Markus
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is one of the most original and beloved French artists, his colorfully luminescent paintings a stirring affirmation of life, levity, and sensitivity. This book reproduces a large number of Matisse's works alongside the story of his life, from his early paintings to his late masterpieces, the cutouts, which he created when he was confined to his bed and unable to paint.
PAUL GAUGUIN
Paul Gauguin's story is nearly as dramatic and seductive as his art. In 1883, he walked away from a successful career in banking in order to paint every day. In 1891, he went a step further, leaving his family behind and setting sail for the South Seas, financing his trip by selling thirty paintings; the works that he created once he arrived were like nothing the art world had ever seen before.
UNSETTLED
This book focuses on artists living or working in the Greater West, a super-region that deliberately broadens our conventional definitions of the West.
