The career of Vincent van Gogh (1853-90) as a painter was short, but his paintings revolutionized artistic practice and styles. The intensity of his vision, his wonderful sense of colour and the extraordinary boldness of his technique create masterpieces that exercised a profound influence on the art of the twentieth century. They are also enormously popular, and paintings such as The Yellow Chair, The Drawbridge and The Sower are among the best-loved images of our time. Wilhelm Uhde was an outstanding art critic and dealer who was born during Van Gogh's lifetime and witnessed at first hand his rise to fame at the beginning of the twentieth century. His-masterly essay was first published in 1937 and remains one of the best introductions to Van Gogh's work. For this revised and expanded edition, the notes to the plates were added by Griselda Pollock, Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art at the University of Leeds.
Le Japon est reconnu dans le monde entier pour sa créativité en matière d'architecture et d'aménagement intérieur. Maisons japonaises contemporaines dresse un panorama des maisons les plus novatrices construites récemment dans ce pays. Les vingt-cinq maisons présentées Ici ont été réalisées à la fois par des architectes de renom comme Shigeru Bon, Kazuyo Sejima, Jun Aoki, Hitoshi Abe et Shuhei Endo et par des concepteurs moins connus mais prometteurs comme Ryue Nishizawa ou Hitoshi Nakao. Les maisons étudiées sont réparties en cinq chapitres thématiques reflétant les problématiques actuelles de l'habitat japonais: le manque de place, notamment dans les villes; le rapport entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur; la réunion de différentes générations dans un même lieu; la relation entre espace de vie et espace de travail; et la résidence secondaire.
Dans la lignée des oeuvres de Truman Capote, Flannery O'Connor ou Jim Thompson, un roman sombre, violent et inoubliable sur la condition humaine. De la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale aux années 60, les destins de plusieurs personnages se mêlent et s'entrechoquent. Willard Russell, qui a combattu dans le Pacifique, est toujours tourmenté par ce qu'il a vécu là-bas. Il est prêt à tout pour sauver sa femme Charlotte, gravement malade, même s'il doit pour cela ne rien épargner à son fils Arvin... Carl et Sandy Henderson forment un couple étrange qui écume les routes et prend de jeunes auto-stoppeurs qui connaîtront un sort funeste.... Roy, un prédicateur convaincu qu'il a le pouvoir de réveiller les morts, et son acolyte Theodore, un musicien en fauteuil roulant, vont de ville en ville, fuyant la loi et leur passé. Donald Ray Pollock s'interroge sur la part d'ombre qui est en chaque individu, sur la nature du Mal. Son écriture est d'une beauté inouïe mais sans concessions. Avec maestria, il entraîne le lecteur dans une odyssée sauvage qui marque durablement les esprits.
Résumé : In little more than a decade, Jonas Wood has established himself as one of the most talented and original painters of his generation. Exploring a variety of subjects that include friends, family members, sport celebrities, landscapes, domestic interiors, plants, his own work as well as that of other artists, Wood has developed a representational style where overlapping textures and disorienting compressions of space contribute to create images that transmit a universal sense of familiarity, even when they are deeply private. Defined by an awareness of the predominant role of photography in contemporary culture, yet deeply indebted to the history of painting and the possibilities still therein, a meaningful engagement and exploration with the present emerges. Wood's work challenges the notion of visual authenticity through a process of combining elements from different sources to create an image that is uniquely his. His works constitute a reflection of our present time while paying tobute to the great artists that have influenced Wood's practice, from modern masters Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, to California cantor David Hockney, and the celebrated duo of ceramists Michael Frimkess and Magdalena Suarez Frimkess In the Interview Mark Grotjahn and the artist discuss their backgrounds and how they were able to turn their passion into a profession while getting acquainted with the dynamics of the art world Helen Molesworth's Survey is a profound and comprehensive analysis of the historical context in which Wood's practice developed, and how the various elements that compose the fabric of his life inform his paintings. Ian Alteveer focuses on Wood's proclivity for representing interiors and how these resonate with the rest of his work and history of art in general. The comprehensive and previously unpublished selection of images in Studio Visit offers a rare insight into the artist's working environment, his process and sources of inspiration. Finally, Artist's Writings include excerpts from conversations with Corrina Peipon, Katy Donoghue and Jeong Yun Hyeong.
