Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Between 1912 and 1914, Fernand Leger executed a large cycle of works known as the "Contrasts of Forms". The series embraces the genres of landscape, still life, and figure, but at its core are numerous arresting compositions that sweep aside observation to focus on formal principles. The common denominator is a complex vocabulary of mingled cones, cylinders, cubes, and planes, vigorously outlined and scrubbed with color (in the paintings) or with black ink and white gouache (in the works on paper). "The Contrasts of Forms" are essential to two great chapters in the history of modern art in the years before the First World War: first, the development of cubism, and second, the emergence of abstract art. Curated by Leger scholar Matthew Affron and organized by the University of Virginia Art Museum, this tightly focused exhibition unites two landmark paintings with eleven works on paper from major museums and private collections. "Fernand Leger: Contrasts of Forms" was presented at the University of Virginia Art Museum from January 19 to March 18, 2007, and will be at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University Art Museums, from April 14 to June 10, 2007.The full-color catalogue features two essays. Affron examines the logic of the "Contrasts of Forms" and the importance of this cycle in shaping the character of Leger's art. Maria Gough (Stanford University) focuses on the drawings and on Leger's notion of abstraction. Between 1912 and 1914, Fernand Leger executed a large cycle of works known as the "Contrasts of Forms".

Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. ix, 283 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. First paperback edition. *** "Bringing together studies by art historians, historians, and political scientists, Fascist Visions explores the themes and paradigms that pervaded protofascist and fascist aesthetic discourse, cultural policy, and artistic production in France and Italy. Whether traditionalist or innovative in idiom, art functioned as the expression of fascism's ideological polarities: nihilism and idealism, modernism and antimodernism, revolution and reaction. This volume charts the unfolding of fascist aesthetics from its genesis in nationalist and antimaterialist ideologies before World War I to its full development during the interwar period and World War II. It also highlights the shared motivations of advocates of fascist aesthetics, including artists, art critics, political activists, and government officials, outside of Germany. The eight essays in this book investigate the intersection of fascist ideology and aesthetics through a wide range of historical examples. Topics include: theories of cultural regeneration in Italy from the Risorgimento to fascism the impact of fascism upon the work of such artists and art critics as Ardengo Soffici, Mario Sironi, Valentine de Saint-Point, and Waldemar George the theories of modernist urbanism developed by Georges Valois's Faisceau and official sponsorship of painting and the decorative arts in Mussolini's Italy and in Vichy France. The contributors to this volume include Walter Adamson, Matthew Affron, Mark Antliff, Emily Braun, Mich le Cone, Emilio Gentile, Nancy Locke, and Marla Stone." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: List of Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Art and Fascist Ideology in France and Italy: An Introduction; The Myth of National Regeneration in Italy: From Modernist Avant-Garde to Fascism; Ardengo Soffici and the Religion of Art; Valentine de Saint-Point and the Fascist Construction of Woman; Mario Sironi's Urban Landscapes: The Futurist/Fascist Nexus; La Cite francaise: Georges Valois, Le Corbusier, and Fascist Theories of Urbanism; Waldemar George: A Parisian Art Critic on Modernism and Fascism; The State as Patron: Making Official Culture in Fascist Italy; Decadence and Renewal in the Decorative Arts under Vichy; Selected Bibliography; Notes on the Contributors; 5Index.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An engaging and accessible introduction to one of the 20th centurys greatest and most enigmatic artists This richly illustrated publication explores the full career of the hugely influential and endlessly fascinating French-American artist Marcel Duchamp (18871968). A pioneer whose creative output was predicated on a fundamental questioning of what art is, Duchamp is well known despite remaining mysterious as an artist, owing to his elusive persona and the unconventional nature of his work. Focusing on the world-renowned Duchamp collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Essential Duchamp tells the artists story through four key periods. The book begins with his early paintings and engagement with the avant-garde, then charts his abandonment of painting and invention of the readymade. This is followed by the creation of his alter ego Rrose Selavy and the optical experiments of the interwar years, and, finally, by the making of Etant donnes (194666), the project that occupied the artist in the final two decades of his life. Shorter accompanying texts include explanations of key terms Duchamp used for his innovative ideasreadymade, precision optics, pictorial nominalism, and infrathinas well as interviews and statements by the artist about his own art and ideas.Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Tokyo National Museum (10/02/1812/09/18)National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (12/22/1804/07/19)Art Gallery New South Wales, Sydney (AprilAugust 2019) "Published on the occasion of the exhibition The Essential Duchamp, Tokyo National Museum, October 2-December 9, 2018; National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, December 22, 2018-April 7, 2019; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, April-August 2019"--Colophon.
