Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The first monograph on Tecla Tofano, spotlighting her transition to handmade ceramicsVenezuelan ceramicist Tecla Tofano (192795) is most recognized for her pottery, but she was also a draftswoman, metalsmith and writer. From 1964 to 1978, Tofano shifted from crafting objects on a traditional potters wheel to hand-sculpting glazed ceramics of body parts, books, totemic figures and domestic items, often exploring issues of maternity, sexism and socioeconomics. Toward the end of the 1970s, Tofano felt that she had exhausted the possibilities of clay as a medium. She stopped producing ceramics to refocus her energy and activist rhetoric on writing and drawing. Tofano wrote critical articles on society and culture for the newspaper El Nacional beginning in the 1960s and authored several books. This monograph, the first ever dedicated to the artist, highlights Tofanos ceramics and drawings from the 1960s and 1970s. It features a selection of ceramics from this transformative phase that reflect her distinct, dissident voice. The book also includes a curatorial essay by Rangel, a detailed chronology by Farias and translations of Tofanos poetry and writing by Lucia Hinojosa Gaxiola.

Hardcover. Condition: VG. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated boards. No Jacket as issued. 115 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), portraits ; 26 cm. "Tecla Tofano: This Body of Mine foregrounds Tofano as a critical figure in the history of feminist art and the broader canon of postwar global modernism. Curated by Gabriela Rangel and Audrée Anid, this exhibition features over thirty ceramics from the 1960s and 70s as well as a selection of drawings from Evas al desnudo (Naked Eves), her series from 1972. Tofano channeled her ideas most notably through ceramics, though she was also an adept draftswoman, a metalsmith, and a voracious writer. In Rangel's words, ".the feminist impulse empowered her to examine, in both her art and writing, the female body as a tactical space of confrontation." Tofano's meditations in clay were often infused with her biting sense of humor, though they also maintained a poignant and personal undertone. The artist's initial foray into pottery in the 1950s began with throwing utilitarian objects on the wheel under the tutelage of Miguel Arroyo, a figurehead of Venezuela's nascent craft movement. By the 1960s and into the '70s, she shifted to hand-modeling body parts as well as domestic items ranging from food and books to totemic figures, flora, and fauna. Unabashed in her choice of subject matter, Tofano embraced ugliness, hand-modeling ceramics that celebrated the grotesque. Her visual language stood in direct opposition to a refined geometric abstraction and kineticism that was popular among her peers. Tofano embraced rough, hand-built surfaces, as evidenced in this exhibition's uncompromising works, which range from carved and extruding phalluses to disembodied tongues. The artist's work revealed the cracks in an extremist sociopolitical system in Venezuela, Tofano's home of over forty years. Her left-leaning activist views were a direct response to the volatile dictatorial climate that engulfed the country in the 1950s and to the oil boom of the 1960s and '70s. She embedded her work with social commentary to explore issues of class, gender construction and sexism. The female body is specifically addressed in Tofano's visual art and writing as an affront to pervasive machismo and a reflection of her personal traumas. Her suite of forty-four pencil drawings, Evas al desnudo (Naked Eves), 1972, for example, directly referenced social stigmas and expectations imposed on women, particularly those involving reproductive and domestic labor. In Tofano's narrative, Eve, the archetypal woman, is pictured in a multitude of scenarios, from the quotidian to the fantastical. Towards the end of the 1970s, Tofano felt that she had exhausted the possibilities of visual art and refocused her energy and activist rhetoric on writing. The titular phrase, "This Body of Mine is borrowed from Epílogos (Epilogues), her 1987 book of poetry. Tecla Tofano's corporeal ruminations across ceramics, drawings and writing underscore the artist's deeply-rooted commitment to vocalizing the unspoken paradoxes of womanhood and to rendering visible what was once considered taboo. To accompany this exhibition, James Cohan has published the first-ever monograph dedicated to the artist, co-edited by Gabriela Rangel and Luis Felipe Farías. It features an essay by Rangel, a detailed chronology by Farías, and translations of Tofano's poetry and writing by Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola."-- Provided by Gallery.…
