Whitney Museum of American Art Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

An exciting guide to, and celebration of, the Whitney Museum and its outstanding collection of American art This all-new handbook, a fresh look at the Whitney Museum of American Art's collection, highlights the museum's extraordinary holdings and its fascinating history. Featuring iconic pieces by artists such as Calder, Hopper, Johns, O'Keeffe, and Warhol--as well as numerous works by under-recognized individuals--this is not only a guide to the Whitney's collection, but also a remarkable primer on modern and contemporary American art. Beautifully illustrated with abundant new photography, the book pairs scholarly entries on 350 artists with images of some of their most significant works. The museum's history and the evolution of its collection, including the Whitney's important distinction as one of the few American museums founded by an artist, and the notion of "American" in relation to the collection, are covered in two short essays. Published to coincide with the Whitney's highly anticipated move to a new facility in downtown New York in the spring of 2015, this book celebrates the museum's storied past and vibrant present as it looks ahead to its future.

Many American artists throughout the 20th century designated Pablo Picasso as the central figure of the modern movement and defined their own artistic achievements through their absorption, critique, or rejection of his example. Picasso and American Art is a groundbreaking publication juxtaposing works by Picasso with the paintings, sculptures, and drawings created in response by an extremely diverse group of his contemporaries and successors, including Max Weber, Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, John Graham, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, David Smith, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns. Based on extensive research, Michael FitzGerald's text provides valuable new information on the fundamental role that Picasso played in the development of modern American art--both through his friendships with individual artists and through the dissemination of his evolving work. This book also documents, for the first time, the accessibility of Picasso's work in the United States between 1911 and 1957 in exhibitions, collections, and publications through a comprehensive chronology. This unique book is essential for anyone interested in either Picasso or American art of the 20th century.

Edward Hoppers Leinwände sind gefüllt mit reduzierten Räumen und unbarmherzigem Licht, eindringlichen Landschaften und den einsamen Aspekten von Männern und Frauen, die scheinbar in ihrer Umgebung isoliert sind. Welche Art von Mensch hatte diese eindringliche Vision, und welches Leben hat diese Kunst hervorgebracht? Die Kunsthistorikerin Gail Levin, Autorin und Kuratorin bedeutender Studien und Ausstellungen zu Hoppers Werk, ist bestens qualifiziert, um diese Fragen zu beantworten. In dieser intimen Biografie enthüllt sie die wahre Natur und Persönlichkeit des Mannes selbst – und der Frau, die sein Leben teilte, der Künstlerin Josephine Nivison.
