Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The White Compositions are symbolically charged with highly specific references that speak to Amess work and life as an architect in Georgia preoccupied with modernism, art and basketball, among other cultural and literary meanings. Ames playfully collages architectural elements, such as facades organised by grids, with everyday (yet highly specific) objectslike a Morandi-esque vase, a Corbusian pair of glasses, a can of coke, an electric guitar, or a basketball hoop. The contrast between the (supposedly) rational, objective, and universalising characteristics of modernism in confrontation with the particular, the idiosyncratic, and the autobiographical quotidian communicates a uniquely Ames-ian sensibility that provides a distinctive and refreshing take on the 20th-century architectural movement.Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Anthony Ames has operated his eponymous architecture office since 1976 and began painting in 1984. Ames White Compositionsa series of 11 monochromatic relief wall sculpturesoriginate from and elaborate on the architects painting practice, closely attending to proportion, layout, recurring forms, and motifs found within both his artistic and built works. His paintingsas described by Courtney Coffman in her previous review of Amess solo exhibition at a83 gallery in New Yorkoscillate somewhere between the formality of a still life, the dynamism of sculptural relief, and the juxtaposed delight of collage. A natural evolution in Amess practice, the 11 wall sculptures are accompanied by documents that provide insight into the precise and accomplished nature of Ames design process: from buildings to art.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The paintings in this book depict 'object-type' - general yet specific, generic yet designed, familiar yet estranged. They are 'Purist' forms depicted in a still life landscape.This book illustrates fifty paintings (1986-2018) with a brief reference on each. The paintings inform or are informed by architectural works by the architect and others. There is an introduction by Andrea Simitch. The paintings depict 'object-types' general yet specific, generic yet designed, familiar yet estranged. They are "Purist" forms depicted in a still life landscape. The compositions employ overlap, convergence and diminution to imply depth resulting in the creation of the illusion of perspectival space. However, through the use of juxtaposition, superimposition and ambiguity of scale the perspectival effect is impaired. The result is a blurring of distinction between foreground and background that encourages a reading of pattern that reinforces the presence of the surface plane. A conflict is encouraged between the deep space and the shallow space between the creation of implied space through perspective and the reinforcement of the surface plane through pattern. A multiple reading is fostered that rewards the careful observer. The paintings in this book depict 'object-type' - general yet specific, generic yet designed, familiar yet estranged.

Includes List of Other Books by St eve Forbes; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Notes; Recommended Reading; Index and About the Authors. "Steve Forbes' Trifecta for Empowered America! The last decade of economic upheaval has been one of the most tumultuous in our nation's history - and there's seemingly no end in sight. Our elected officials are more concerned with politicking, posturing, and pointing fingers than offering practical solutions to very real problems. Known for his trenchant insights, Steve Forbes is here to tell us that America can once more be the land of hope, growth, and opportunity. In Reviving America, he offers a much-needed blueprint for how this can be achieved. His three-point plan: Repealing Obamacare: Put control of healthcare where it belongs, in the hands of patients and their chosen doctors. No more domination by Big Government, insurance companies, and employers. Increase markeet choice and competition to bring prices down and improve quality of care. Enact the Flat Tax: A simplified tax code will reduce taxes for everyone and immediately revive the American economy. Restoring a Sound Dollar: A return to a modern gold standard will make the dollar serve the American people and not the Washington politicians. These three changes will get America moving again and set the stage for other much-needed reforms. Reviving America offers a bold, optimistic vision to Americans tired of today's divisive political rhetoric and old ideas. The book is a critical read for a country on the eve of a new era." - from the rear outer jacket.
