Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. "Painting is the passage from the chaos of the emotions to the order of the possible." -Balthus One of the last great 20th-century masters, Balthus pursued a path that ran exactly contrary to that of the modernist avant-gardes with which he was contemporary. At once quiet and intriguing, his paintings unite colliding contrasts, combining reality and dream, eroticism and innocence, practicality and mystery, the familiar and the uncanny in unique ways. This volume, published for a retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler, gathers around 50 key paintings from all phases of this legendary artist's career. It commences with the monumental masterpiece Passage du Commerce-Saint-André (1952-54), in which Balthus' intensive study of the dimensions of space and time and their relationship to figure and object is especially apparent. Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, known as Balthus (1908-2001), was born in Paris to Polish expatriate parents. He was raised in an exceptionally artistic milieu, with visitors to his household including Rilke (who became his mother's lover), André Gide, Jean Cocteau, Maurice Denis and Pierre Bonnard. Balthus was one of the few living artists to be represented in the Louvre, when his painting The Children (1937) was acquired from the private collection of Pablo Picasso. .…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes (born 1960) derives the basic motifs for her colorful, seductive paintings from the tropical flora and fauna of her homeland, juxtaposing a native color palette with explicit borrowings from the western canon (Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Sonia Delaunay). In her lively compositions, abstract ornaments, arabesques, flowers and geometrical shapes pile up vertiginously into rhythmic deluges of bright pattern. Milhazes emerged alongside the Geração Oitenta (1980s Generation) movement, which, in tandem with trends in America and Europe, proclaimed a return to painting after the conceptual austerities of the 1970s. Milhazes' art vividly expresses this new hedonistic approach to the picture plane, which also recalls something of the spirit of the 1960s Tropicalia artists. This publication presents beautiful reproductions of four new monumental paintings that improvise on the theme of the four seasons, as well as new collages and a mobile sculpture. …

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 4°- 170 pp. Richly illustrated throughout with mostly full-page color reproductions. In very good condition. Balthus, the most enigmatic painter of our time, in a large retrospective In his multifaceted, multilayered oeuvre. Balthus (1908-2001), one of the last great twentieth-century masters, pursued a path that ran exactly contrary to the modern avant-garde movements. Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (February 29, 1908 February 18, 2001), known as Balthus, was a Polish-French modern artist. He is known for his erotically charged images of pubescent girls, but also for the refined, dreamlike quality of his imagery. Throughout his career, Balthus rejected the usual conventions of the art world. He insisted that his paintings should be seen and not read about, and he resisted attempts to build a biographical profile. Nevertheless, towards the end of his life he took part in a series of dialogues with the neurobiologist Semir Zeki, conducted at his chalet at Rossinière, Switzerland and at the Palazzo Farnese (French Embassy) in Rome. They were published in 1995 under the title La Qûete de l'essentiel, and in them he gives some of his views on art, painting and some other painters.…

Hardback, 315x280mm, 256p, 180 bw and col. illustrations ?,English edition Fine copy. ISBN 9783775738057. The companion volume to the large-scale exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler, featuring works on loan from collections in Europe and overseas.Over the sixty years of his artistic career, Gerhard Richter (* 1932 in Dresden) has produced a standardsetting oeuvre whose thematic and stylistic diversity has no equal among the art of our time. This extensive monograph is the first to present the complete range of the numerous works Richter realized as series, cycles, and spaces. It includes figurative paintings, such as landscapes, still lifes, and portraits, many of which are based on photographs, such as the series S. and Child, a personal and intimate variation on the traditional subject of the Madonna and Child. It also features abstract works, for which Richter draws from a changing repertoire of forms and colors to produce both small and monumental paintings. This generously sized volume reveals an astonishing spectrum of Richter's paintings in all of their dimensions and techniques. 1590 g.…

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. The catalogue Gerhard Richter. Pictures / Series accompanies Gerhard Richter's exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler. The show is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, a longstanding friend of Richter, and looks back at 60 years of the artist's work. The exhibition focuses on work he created since the 1960s; namely, series, cycles and interior spaces. According to Obrist, too little attention has been devoted to this specific section of his oeuvre to date. Works exhibited in groups are juxtaposed with single pieces, which act as both counterpoints characteristic of Richter's style, yet simultaneously illuminate the similarities between the different bodies of work. Besides illustrations of the exhibited paintings, the catalogue also includes texts contributed by Sam Keller, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Dieter Schwarz. The essays by Obrist and Schwarz primarily analyse Richter's series. An interview between the curator and Richter reveals the background of the development of the series. Furthermore, the catalogue includes a letter by George Didi-Huberman, who shares his thoughts after a visit to the artist's studio.…

Hardcover. Condition: gut. 2014. Weit mehr als die Summe ihrer Teile: die seriellen Werke des Meistermalers Begleitband zur großen Ausstellung in der Fondation Beyeler mit Leihgaben aus Sammlungen in Europa und Übersee In den 60 Jahren seiner künstlerischen Tätigkeit hat Gerhard Richter (* 1932 in Dresden) ein Maßstäbe setzendes uvre hervorgebracht, dessen thematische und stilistische Vielfalt in der Malerei unserer Zeit nichts Vergleichbares kennt. Die groß angelegte Monografie vereint erstmals eine Vielzahl von als Serien, Zyklen und Räume realisierten Werken aus allen Schaffensperioden des Künstlers. Präsentiert werden zum einen figurative Arbeiten wie Landschaften, Stillleben und Porträts, bei denen häufig Fotos als Vorlagen dienen, wie etwa im Fall des Zyklus S. mit Kind, einer intimen und persönlichen Variation der Madonnendarstellung. Zum anderen werden aber auch abstrakte Werke gezeigt, für die Gerhard Richter aus einem wechselnden Formen- und Farbenrepertoire schöpft und dem sowohl kleinformatige als auch monumentale Gemälde entspringen. Dem Betrachter eröffnet der großformatige Band das erstaunliche Spektrum von Richters Malerei in all ihren Dimensionen und Techniken. Ausstellung: Fondation Beyeler Riehen/Basel 18.5.20147.9. 2014 Autor: Georges Didi-Hubermann, geboren 1953, ist Philosoph und Kunsthistoriker und lehrt an der Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris). Er ist Träger des Hans-Reimer-Preises der Aby-Warburg-Stiftung (Hamburg). Er veröffentlichte zahlreiche Untersuchungen zur Geschichte und Theorie der Bilder. Dietmar Elger, geboren 1958 in Hannover; 1978 - 1984 Studium der Kunstgeschichte, Geschichte und Literaturwissenschaften an der Universität Hamburg, 1984 Promotion mit einer Arbeit über den "Merzbau" von Kurt Schwitters. 1984 - 1985 Sekretär im Atelier von Gerhard Richter. 1985 - 1988 Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Museum am Ostwall, Dortmund, seit 1989 Kustos für Malerei und Skulptur am Sprengel Museum Hannover, Organisation zahlreicher Ausstellungen zur modernen und zeitgenössischen Kunst. 1998 Kurator der Ausstellung "Gerhard Richter. Landschaften". Dieser Band ist eine phänomenal passende Würdigung der Bilder und Serien von Gerhard Richter. Dieser Begleitband zur Ausstellung in der Fondation Beyeler in Riehen/Basel vom 18.5. bis 07.09.2014 präsentiert nicht nur die einzelnen Werke von Gerhard Richter, sondern enthält neben der Einführung von Hans Ulrich Obrist und den begleitenden Essays von Dieter Schwarz und Georges Didi-Huberman auch ein neunseitiges Interview, welches Hans Ulrich Obrist mit dem in Dresden 1932 geborenen Künstler geführt hat. Eine Biographie, die sich sehr stark an dem künstlerischen und weniger an dem persönlichen Lebensweg Richters orientiert, rundet den Band mit einem Katalog der ausgestellten Werke ab. Diese Monografie zeigt in einer ausgezeichneten Far- und Druckqualität eine Vielzahl von als Serien, Zyklen und Räume realisierten Werken aus den verschiedenen Schaffensperioden, welche insgesamt über 60 Jahre betragen. Seine Vielfalt an Themen und Stilen wird in diesem Band noch einmal besonders deutlich; denn es werden figurative Arbeiten wie Landschaften, Stillleben und Porträts gezeigt, aber auch abstrakte Gemälde. Die Aufnahmen aus Richters Atelier passen sehr gut in diesen Lebenswerkband hinein. Man wird erstaunt sein, wie großzügig die Werke in diesem Druckband platziert sind, so dass diese ausreichend Raum zur Wirkung haben. Das aufwendig gestaltete Cover macht diesen Band zu einem hervorragenden Geschenk für alle Freunde/-innen moderner Kunst und im speziellen für diejenigen, die sich von Richters Werk begeistern lassen mögen.Zusatzinfo 225 Abb.
