Synopsis
This beautiful and authoritative book brings together a number of exceptional works of art whose audacity disrupted the course of art history at the beginning of the 20th century. Major artists including Monet, Mondrian, Malevich, Rothko, Bonnard, Picasso, Munch, Giacometti, Bacon, Léger, Picabia, Matisse, Kupka, and Kandinsky are each represented by a key piece from their oeuvre. The text comprises 20 essays on the individual artists by a team of internationally renowned experts. Additional essays grapple with important questions and current debates within the art world, such as which artists are now making art history, and what gives a work lasting iconic status. The book focuses on well-known, landmark works that are models of the passionate creation of art as well as staples of scholarship on art history.

Keys to a Passion Book by Suzanne Page
Seller: West Cove UK, Wellington, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Book in excellent unread/unused condition. Hardcover. English. Pub Year 2015, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Keys to a Passion by Suzanne Page explores the ambitious vision behind the Fondation Louis Vuitton, a contemporary art institution designed by Frank Gehry, which has quickly established itself as a significant part of Paris's 21st-century architectural heritage. The Fondation engages a broad audience with its artistic programme, introducing visitors to contemporary artists whose works reflect an emotional engagement with a world filled with questions and disruptions. Noteworthy presentations, such as that of Olafur Eliasson, exemplify this dialogue between art and the contemporary experience.The book delves into the historical context of contemporary art, revealing how current works are informed by the richly woven tapestry of the past, particularly the 20th century. Page discusses the ?keys? or pivotal creations of this era which not only resonate passionately with audiences but also guide their understanding of modern artistic choices. The exhibition articulated within the book strives to establish these crucial connections, allowing visitors to contemplate their own decisions and the significance of their engagement with art. Keys to a Passion presents a diverse range of insights through contributions from notable writers, who provoke reflection on the essential question posed by the LVMH group: in a dynamic creative landscape, is not an understanding of the past vital to embracing innovative ideas? This catalogue serves to contextualise the ?historic? exhibition curated by Page, showcasing the genius of artistic masters and their creations which have become icons of our time. The work promises to leave a lasting impression on its readers, reinforcing the timeless nature of art?s dialogue across past and future. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM708-LN-14325
