Abstract

"American artist Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) is a master of creating art that is at once playful and profound. Ruscha's inimitable work frequently involves the setting of a single word or phrase against a stained background or monumental landscape. His paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, books, and films were influential in the development of Pop Art, and his stunning artist's books continue to inspire up-and-coming artists today." "In this definitive overview of Ruscha's career to date, Mary Richards traces the progression of the artist's work across five decades. The book also focuses on Ruscha's techniques, particularly his delicate drawings, prints using organic materials, and process of making art as documented in his notebooks. With stunning reproductions and new interview material, this thought-provoking book probes the internal logic of Ruscha's oeuvre for words, images, and phrases that resurface time and again"--Jacket.

Abstract

"Skyscrapers have sex and are caught in flagrante delicto. Between a pink torso and a buffed-up American GI, a nun spits fire. Synchronised swimmers, prize-winning vegetables and the mythic 'making' of Manhattan are all celebrated on countless postcards. A home-analysis kit combines the veneer of Freudian insight with the depth of Trivial Pursuit. Welcome to the world of artist Madelon Vriesendorp." "This publication reveals for the first time a significant - and near secret - corpus of work notable for its wild diversity. Though Vriesendorp is best known for her seminal cycle of anthropomorphic architectural paintings, her extensive 'art of generosity' embraces bad taste, pop, 'playground surrealism' and the touching beauty of culture's failed objects. Here, enlightenment emerges from distraction, whilst seriousness must surrender to the non-serious."

Abstract

Koningsdochter en kunstenares Delphine Boël vertelt voor het eerst haar eigen verhaal. En dit aan de hand van haar hier afgebeelde werk. Om allerlei verzinsels en vooroordelen te ontkrachten die over haar in omloop zijn, doet zij in dit rijk geïllustreerde boek een doekje open over haar herkomst. Zonder schroom spreekt zij over haar kinderjaren en haar jeugd als tegendraadse tiener die haar weg zoekt in de maatschappij. Ze praat vrijuit over de ontkenning van haar bestaan als 'dochter van', die resulteert in een gevecht om erkenning van haar authentiek talent als kunstenares. Ze haalt uit naar haar botsingen met de roddelpers en, daaruit volgend, de wereldwijde bekendheid die haar overvalt en om de verkeerde redenen in de publieke belangstelling brengt. Delphine wil haar leven terug en om dat te bereiken kiest zij als gedreven artieste voor het onzekere van het avontuur in een mogelijk nog vijandiger milieu dan de gewone wereld. Haar werk is zeer persoonsgebonden en daarom ook zo authentiek.
