Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A luminous collection of essays on art, obsession and creativity from one of Australias best criticsWhy do we revere the figure of the artist? Is the drive to create an innate human instinct or a form of compulsion? Is the provocateur more lauded than the realist? Why do artists do what they… do, day after day, in a display of discipline and will? The twelve essays in this collection offer glimpses into the lives of some of Australias best contemporary artists, exploring the impetus for creativity and the role of art in making meaning. Tied together by an enduring curiosity for how artists practice what motivates them, what confounds them and what compels them to keep creating these pieces span the islands of Carpentaria to suburban Perth, the streets of Malaysia to the deserts of the Northern Territory. What emerges is art as an act of wilful vision of alternative ways of seeing that illuminate the otherwise invisible.

Condition: FINE. AUSTRALIAN ARTÂ Aboriginal -Timothy Cook has been lauded as a leading contemporary Australian artist: critically acclaimed, honoured with the prestigious 2012 29th Telstra National Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, included in major exhibitions throughout Australia, and well represented in signifi…cant public and corporate collections. He has lived and worked for his entire life in a small settlement in the Tiwi Islands, in remote Indigenous Australia, deeply attached to his place. Timothy Cook is a maverick artist â" non-conformist, individualistic, original and inventive, straddling the modern and ancient with confidence. In this stunning monograph prepared by Seva Frangos, she and her fellow four writers attest to his achievements, inhabiting a place and space where innovation might seem impossible against the background of tradition and ritual; where he realigns artistic and cultural boundaries and re-explores being Tiwi. These pages capture the remarkable levels of energy and emotional charge in his painting and provide a brilliant introduction to his vast body of work over two decades in a range of media.First Edition. 184 pages : colour illustrations, colour portraits, colour maps ; 29 cm #150425 First Nations (AIATSIS) Subject: Art - Awards and prizes Art - Production - Materials / techniques - Bark Art - Sculpture - Hollow log Art - Artists - Men Art - Economic aspects - Markets - Market places - Galleries Art - Catalogues Art - Painting - Bark Art - Objects and installations Art - Production - Materials / techniques - Ochre Tiwi Islands (NT SC52-15, SC52-16) Milikapiti / Snake Bay (Melville Island NT SC52-16) Cook, Timothy, 1958- Art, Tiwi (Australia) Art, Aboriginal Australian -- 20th century Art, Aboriginal Australian -- 21st century Artists, Aboriginal Australian -- Northern Territory -- Tiwi Islands Australian Iseger-Pilkington, Glenn, contributor McLean, Bruce, 1982-, contributor Sprague, Quentin, contributor Ryan, Judith, contributor Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
