Artists Write to Work - Kate Kramer - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Artists need to write, every day, to support their studio practice and careers. Working artists know this. Newly minted art graduates and emerging artists learn this the hard way—usually when a gallerist asks for basic documents like an artist resume, biography, and statement to support an upcoming exhibition! Conversational and instructive, this practical primer helps artists learn the best writing and research strategies for their letters, biographies, statements, proposals, applications, wall text, and more. Kate Kramer, lecturer in critical writing at the University of Pennsylvania, aligns writing strategies with art school curriculum (foundations, topics, capstones, professional development). This is the book every artist will turn to again and again. In addition to models, templates, worksheets, and sample analyses of calls for entry, it references readily available and public resources throughout. Ultimately, this primer brings writing process into practice so the art work can continue to thrive.

All Aboard: The Life and Work of Marjorie Reed - Gary Fillmore - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Marjorie Reed was a prominent 20th century Western artist best known for her paintings of the Butterfield-Overland Stage Trail. Reed made her living solely as a freelance artist for over 65 years and left behind a significant body of work. Every bit as colorful as the art is her biographical account. Reed’s romantic attachment to her subject matter took her from a life of ease in the Hollywood Hills to rustic shacks in the Southwestern deserts and Bedouin tents in the Middle East. This account gives deep insight into Reed's character and personality. This book offers the first comprehensive account of Reed's life and work. She was an extremely private individual who led a transient lifestyle, claiming at the age of 81 to have moved once for each year she was alive. As a result, little biographical information about this respected and sought artist has been available... until now. Beautifully illustrated with over 300 color plates of her paintings and scores of never-before-published personal photographs, this volume tracks her beginnings as a 16 year-old commercial artist in Los Angeles until the last painting on her easel at the time of her death six decades later.

Bodies of Work—Contemporary Figurative Painting - Lauren P. Della Monica - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Human forms can be intensely intimate or broadly universal. Here, figurative artists use the human form as a tool to express varied content and contemporary issues. These paintings depict our feelings and sentiments, our sense of belonging to a larger community in the contemporary world, while capturing the impulses behind the range of figuration presented by today''s contemporary international artists. Portraitist Marlene Dumas presents figures in a gritty, unsentimental manner, evoking the essence of the human condition, while Kerry James Marshall paints the life of African-Americans in the twentieth-century, employing recent historical review to document the social challenges. British artist Jenny Saville paints the figure in massive scale, combined with an overt, never-ending interest in the pure rendering of human flesh. Hope Gangloff paints her figures as characters, intimate friends, and acquaintances, narrating a drama from their canvases. An important resource for those interested in contemporary figurative painting.

Master the art of multi-axis spindle turning with hundreds of photos and diagrams that offer detailed guidance and step-by-step help. This book offers a strategy for understanding multi-axis turning and the many options available to create unique forms.

Hundreds of photos and diagrams offer detailed guidance, and explain the variables—axis placement, profile, orientation of the new axis to the center axis, and so on—and how they apply to each "quadrant" of multi-axis work. Split and thermed turning methods, planning tips, tricks of the trade, and a three-sided cup or vase project help you succeed. Concepts come to life as Dill shows examples of not only her work, but the work of other expert turners.

Paul Evans - Jeffrey Head - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Raised as a Quaker in Eastern Pennsylvania, designer and sculptor Paul Evans is known for his highly unusual and yet completely functional furniture designs. Evans produced more than a dozen lines of furniture and countless design variations during his thirty-year career as a mid- to late 20th century artist and designer. Regardless of his materials, whether metal, wood, or even cardboard, his work continues to defy easy categorization. It is modern and yet independent of recognizable influences. Other designers and manufacturers openly copied his work, though these copies lacked the presence Evans easily achieved. At the height of his popularity in the mid-1970s, Evans employed nearly ninety people. Several museums and galleries exhibited his work, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Today, his work is sought by collectors, who value its style and quality. His unusual furniture and sculpture stand the test of time and are displayed here in over 220 vivid photos. It appears classic and contemporary at the same time. This book will be treasured by all who have a passion for design.
