Hardcover. Etat : VG. Blue cloth, blue & color illus. dust jacket, 191 pp., 130 color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2014-2015 exhibition that "explores the creative exchange between Neo-Impressionist painters and Symbolist writers and composers in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Symbolism, with its emphasis on subjectivity, dream worlds, and spirituality, has often been considered at odds with Neo-Impressionism's approach to portraying color and light. This book repositions the relationship between these movements and looks at how Neo-Impressionist artists such as Maximilien Luce, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, and Henry van de Velde created evocative landscape and figural scenes by depicting emptiness, contemplative moods, Arcadia, and other themes. . This book reveals the vibrancy and depth of the Neo-Impressionist movement in Paris and Brussels in the late nineteenth century." (dj) With eight thematic and illustrated essays and a selected bibliography. The exhibition checklist cites works by 14 artists, and most if not all are pictured within the narrative. Nice!

Physical description; 101 pages: illustrations (some color); 28 cm. Notes; Catalog prepared in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., Feb. 12-May 15, 2011. Includes bibliographical references. Contents; David Smith invents / by Susan Behrends Frank -- "What sculpture can never be": the photographs of David Smith / by Susan Hamill -- Unity and identity: David Smith's materials and methods / by Peter Stevens -- Illustrations -- Chronology. Summary; Discusses selected steel sculptures fabricated by the American painter-sculptor David Smith (1906-1965), as well as Smith's drawings and paintings. Emphasizes his investigation of concave/convex forms, and notes his use of painted surfaces. Includes essays on Smith's photography of his own works and on his surfaces and materials"--Provided by publisher. Abstract Expressionist artist David Smith (1906-1965) was one of the most important American sculptors of the 20th century, yet few publications dedicated to his creative output currently exist. A painter-sculptor in the tradition of Matisse and Picasso, he focused on welded steel sculptures while simultaneously working inventively in two dimensions, in paint, ink, or tempera. David Smith Invents is the first book to focus on the output in all media of the artist's last fifteen years, a period in which he explored concave and convex forms in works welded from steel tanks and pipes that he bought by the rail-car load as industrial waste. Starting in 1953, Smith's efforts resulted in the monumental, personage-like forms of the Tanktotems series, and the later series of Bouquet of Concaves, leading in 1961 to the massive Zigs. Susan Behrends Frank opens a window onto the unusual working process employed by Smith, who was once a welder on an automobile production line. In spite of their industrial manufacture and materials, his works blurred the boundaries between sculpture, painting, and drawing, and his sculptures during this period were created in a pictorial fashion, in a single plane. One of his practices was to draw a white rectangle on the floor and position the metal parts of his sculpture within its boundaries. Featured throughout the book are extraordinary photographs taken by Smith of his sculptures, along with an enlightening essay on the photos by Sarah Hamill. Peter Stevens discusses Smith's materials and surfaces. Subjects; Smith, David 1906-1965 - Exhibitions. Smith, David 1906-1965 - Criticism and interpretation. Steel sculpture, American - Exhibitions.

Hardcover. Etat : New in shrinkwrap. Color pictorial boards, translucent mylar dust jacket, 136 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with several 2011-2012 exhibitions of a single work by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). "Builds on the grwoing body of scholarship in the field while taking a focused approach toward a single work: Painting with White Border, 1913. The exhibition reunites this masterpiece from the Guggenheim's collection with Kandinsky's first oil study from The Phillips Collection and a second oil sketch from the State Russian Museum. It also brings together more than a dozen related studies in pen, pencil, ink, and watercolor, as well as related works in various media. What more can we learn about Kandinsky by delving deeply into one masterpiece and reuniting it for the first time with its related studies? How can the interweaving of conservation and art historical research aid our inquiry?" (foreword) Look here for the intriguing answers.

Hardcover. Etat : VG (slight smudges on dj.). Chocolate brown cloth, green & white & color illus. dust jacket, 188 pp., 125 color illus. Issued in conjunction with several 2013-2014 exhibitions that "focus on the artist's 'repetitions,' a term he used to describe his process of producing more than one version of a composition. Van Gogh ultimately developed a conceptual framework that distinguished his repetitions from copies, etudes, tableaux, and decorations, balancing modernist aspirations toward originality with the creation of copies of his existing compositions. The artist's practice of producing repetitions was far more extensive and vital to his creative process than is commonly recognized." (dj) With essays by Eliza A. Rathbone and William H. Robinson, and 13 chapters that focus on specific subject matters or figures. Well illustrated.

Notes; Catalogue accompanies exhibition held 9 February - 12 May 2013, The Phillips Collection, Washington; 21 July - 27 Ocotber 2013, The Parrish Art Museum, Southampton. Translated from French.

Longwell -- The initiatory paintings of Alfonso Ossorio / Jean Dubuffet; translated from the French by Richard Howard -- Materials and techniques / Elizabeth Steele, Sylvia Albro, Scott Homolka, Chantal Bernicky. Summary; The artistic relationships among Jackson Pollock (1912-1956), Alfonso Ossorio (1916-1990), and Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) strongly influenced the development of postwar art. Ossorio, the central figure in the trio, was an early champion of Pollock and the close friend of Dubuffet, whose radically anticultural Art Brut collection was prominently displayed at Ossorio's Hamptons estate. Dubuffet's admiration for Ossorio is evident in his 1951 essay on the artist, published here for the first time in English. Angels, Demons, and Savages reveals previously unrecognized technical and thematic affinities in the artists' work, from Dubuffet's "raw," unconventional style to Ossorio's use of Christian iconography and grotesque elements to Pollock's emphasis on medium and gestural force. Complete with two original essays and a conservation study, this groundbreaking catalogue shows how the three artists shaped the aesthetic on both sides of the Atlantic through their exchange of ideas and techniques.
