Ruscha, First Edition (337 results)

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. New in shrinkwrap. The first book to consider the importance of commercial art and design for Ed Ruscha's work  Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) emerged onto the Los Angeles art scene with paintings that incorporated consumer products, such as Spam and SunMaid raisins. In this revelatory book, Jennifer Quick looks at Ruscha's work through the tools, techniques, and habits of mind of commercial art and design, showing how his training and early work as a commercial artist helped him become an incisive commentator on the presence and role of design in the modern world.  The book explores how Ruscha mobilized commercial design techniques of scale, paste-up layout, and perspective as he developed his singular artistic style. Beginning with his formative design education and focusing on the first decade of his career, Quick analyzes previously unseen works from the Ruscha archives alongside his celebrated paintings, prints, and books, demonstrating how Ruscha's engagement with commercial art has been foundational to his practice. Through this insightful lens, Quick affirms Ruscha as a powerful and witty observer of the vast network of imagery that permeates visual culture and offers new perspectives on Pop and conceptual art. .

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Two softcovers in folder, 56 pgs. 11 1/2 × 10 inches (29.2 × 25.4 cm). New. This book was published on the occasion of Ed Ruscha: Eilshemius & Me, an exhibition of works by Ed Ruscha and Louis Michel Eilshemius (1864-1941) at Gagosian, Davies Street, London. Ruscha s Spied Upon Scene series of paintings, begun in 2017, depicts majestic mountainscapes resembling the idyllic ranges of travel books, adventure movies, or the Paramount Pictures logo. These vistas, visible through oval-shaped lenses or window grids, seem to refer to the nineteenth-century tradition of picturing the American Sublime. In fact, their lineage includes an obscure American painter from the turn of the century, Louis Michel Eilshemius, whose use of painted frames influenced Ruscha s approach. This book is the first to examine the connection between these two artists. It features an interview with Ruscha by Leta Grzan and Viet-Nu Nguyen, and an essay by Margaret Iversen, which together explain how Eilshemius s enigmatic paintings captured Ruscha s imagination.
