Sehr guter, fast tadelloser Zustand. / Very good, almost flawless copy. - BEIGELEGT eine Karte des Herausgebers Bruno Brunnet an Kaspar König. / ENCLOSED a card from the editor Bruno Brunnet to Kaspar König. / Deutsch mit englischer Übersetzung / German with english translation. / DE: Ausstellungskatalog; CFA Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin: 17/9 - 29/10/2022. --- Cecily Rose Brown (* 1969 in London) ist eine britische Malerin, die in New York lebt und arbeitet und zu den bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen der Gegenwart zählt. Ende der 1990er Jahre erregten ihre großformatigen, expressiven Bilder mit erotischen Szenen Aufsehen. "Ich benutze erotische Fotografien, um den Körper zu studieren. Dabei interessiert mich der emotionale Gehalt dieser Vorlagen", so beschreibt Cecily Brown ihre malerische Vorgehensweise. In ihren an der Grenze zwischen Abstraktion und Figuration liegenden Bildern werden organische Formen und Menschen angedeutet und gelegentlich nur durch leuchtendes Rosa, Rot, Orange und Ocker wiedergegeben. Browns Werk ist unter anderem beeinflusst von Nicolas Poussin, Édouard Manet, William Hogarth sowie Francis Bacon und Willem de Kooning. In den jüngeren Bildern widmete sich Brown zunehmend der Darstellung von Landschaften, trennte sich auch hierbei nie völlig von ihren erotischen Motiven. Cecily Brown wird von bedeutenden Museen wie dem Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, dem Whitney Museum of American Art, New York und der Tate Gallery, London, gesammelt. Sie gilt als erfolgreiche Künstlerin einer neuen expressiven Malerei. (wiki) // INHALT: Daniel Kehlmann, mit "Die Vermessung der Welt" (2006) der international erfolgreichste deutsche Schriftsteller der letzten Jahre, schreibt in diesem eleganten Büchlein über die neuesten Gemälde von Cecily Brown: "Um es nüchterner zu formulieren: Cecily Browns Kunst zeigt, wie oberflächlich und uninteressant der scheinbare Gegensatz zwischen Objekt und Abstraktion ist. Zweifellos hat der Konstruktivismus in einem Punkt recht: Aus einem Wirrwarr von Eindrücken setzen wir selbst, nach unseren eigenen, nicht gerade zuverlässigen Regeln, ein fragiles Modell zusammen. Schließlich beobachten wir unsere Umgebung nicht einfach, wir bewegen uns durch sie hindurch, unsere Außenwelt zerfällt also ständig, ordnet sich immer wieder neu an, und nur die ständige Arbeit unseres Bewusstseins hält den Anschein von Konsistenz aufrecht. Cecily Brown verfremdet die Welt nicht, sie malt sie, wie sie tatsächlich ist, ein Spiel aus Farben und Schatten." (snoeck) / EN: Exhibition catalogue; CFA Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin: 17/9 29/10/2022. / CONTENT: Daniel Kehlmann, the most internationally successful German writer in recent years with ğMeasuring the WorldĞ (2006), writes about Cecily Browns latest paintings in this elegant booklet: ğTo put it more soberly: Cecily Browns art shows how superficial and uninteresting the apparent opposition between object and abstraction is. Undoubtedly, constructivism is right about one thing: Out of a jumble of impressions, according to our own not exactly reliable rules, we ourselves assemble a fragile model. After all, we dont simply observe our surroundings, we move through them, thus our external world is perpetually disintegrating, rearranging itself in ever-changing ways, and only the constant work of our consciousness maintains the appearance of consistency. Cecily Brown doesnt defamiliarize the world, she paints it as it actually is, a play of color and shadows.Ğ (snoeck) ISBN 9783864424045 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 257.

A Superb UK First Edition & First Printing large format paperback original - All my books are always securely packed with plenty of bubblewrap in professional boxes and promptly dispatched (within 2-3 days) - The first monograph on one of the most influential painters of our time. Cecily Brown is a British-born, New York-based artist who rose to prominence in the late 1990s. Brown established her unique voice within the art sphere by investigating the sensual qualities of oil paint and challenging the conventions of abstraction and figuration. Through a range of reference to old master paintings, Abstract Expressionism, and popular culture, Brown's symbolic language, exuberant brushwork, rich palette, intense energy, and embrace of the erotic have redefined some of painting's historical canons - SIGNED BY CECILY BROWN - Pictures of the book are available upon request.
