Abstract

Une jeune civilisation d'à peine plus de trois siècles dans un pays que l'on croit connaître depuis toujours, un art qui a puisé sa force dans des vagues d'immigrations successives et que l'on taxe parfois d'impérialiste, des villes sur-urbanisées face à des espaces immenses... Devant tant de contradictions, ce livre s'avère indispensable pour savoir s'il existe un "art américain" et comprendre ce qui en fait la richesse. L'histoire des États-Unis s'est faite de greffes répétées et rapides, des établissements indiens et des colons britanniques, à tous ceux qui ont fui la pauvreté d'une Europe vieillissante ou les violences du nazisme. "L'art des États-Unis" témoigne d'une grandeur et d'une puissance de création qui en font l'expression privilégiée de l'épopée américaine avec son souffle et son dynamisme, mais aussi ses incertitudes et ses doutes. L'art américain donne forme à une société démocratique qui croit en sa propre perfectibilité et ses progrès, mais dans laquelle ne sont pas cachées les inégalités économiques et les injustices sociales. Il a pour ressort cette dimension épique qui fonde à la fois sa beauté et sa force. Les auteurs confrontent des points de vue originaux et nous font assister à la construction d'un pays et de son identité artistique jusque dans ses développements les plus récents.

Abstract

Seldom has the artistic output of one country had so far-reaching and immediate an impact as American art during the twentieth century. With ever-increasing momentum, painting and sculpture in the United States departed from the poetic realism of the nineteenth century, incorporated Impressionism and assimilated Cubist experimentation, paused briefly to explore social realism in the Depression decades, and then plunged into Abstract Expressionism with such vitality and innovation that American influence now dominates modern art.In this critical history of American painting and sculpture since 1900, the artists, movements and events that led up to America's emergence as a leading force in the world of art are covered in depth. "The Eight", the 1913 Armory Show (America's dramatic and controversial introduction to modern art), the painters associated with photographer and dealer Alfred Stieglitz (Marin, Dove, Demuth, Weber, Hartley and O'Keeffe), and the traditional modernists such as Stuart Davis and Alexander Calder, are just a few of the many fascinating men and movements described. More than half of this volume is devoted to art in the United States since 1945, and includes careful analyses of such styles as Action Painting, Hard Edge Painting, Pop Art, Mini- malism, Assemblage, Happenings, Earthworks, Kineticism, Conceptual Art and Bodyworks. These discussions are accompanied by rich accounts of such contemporary masters as Pollock, De Kooning, Rothko, Johns, Lichtenstein, Stella, Noland, Morris, Judd, Smithson and many others.

Abstract

Jackson Pollock, Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Julian Schnabel, and Laurie Anderson are just some of the major American artists of the twentieth century. From the 1893 Chicago World's Fair to the 2000 Whitney Biennial, a rapid succession of art movements and different styles reflected the extreme changes in American culture and society, as well as America's position within the international art world. This exciting new look at twentieth century American art explores the relationships between American art, museums, and audiences in the century that came to be called the 'American century'...

Abstract

The Oriental Obsession begins in the early sixteenth century with Cardinal Wolsey waiting two years for the delivery of sixty rare Turkey carpets from Venice, and ends in the age of the great exhibitions and emporia on both sides of the Atlantic, before and after 1900, when Islamic objects were seen, appreciated, and bought by millions of the public. The book is concerned with a subject which has not been treated before - the history over four centuries of Islamic artistic traditions and European ideas of Islam as they affected the visual arts of the west and particularly the English-speaking peoples. Studies of individual aspects have been made previously, but this is the first time that an attempt has been made to consider the subject as a whole. The geographical purview extends from Moorish Spain in the west to British India in the east and, besides architecture, the activities that are involved include painting, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, furniture and bookcrafts.
