Sean Scully. Human. Ediz. A Colori

Resumen del Libro

A monograph dedicated to the great Irish-American artist and to Human, his new exhibition project for San Giorgio Maggiore Abbey in Venice."My work is an attempt to release the spirit"Sean ScullyPublished on the occasion of the exhibition in the historic church of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, the volume gathers recent works and new, unseen pieces by the celebrated abstract artist who has created a series of new sculptures, paintings, drawings, and watercolour works directly inspired by the monks' Abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, by their vast illuminated manuscript collections and by the 16th-century Benedictine church. Works instantly recognisable by Scully's visual vocabulary of horizontal and vertical stripes, which reflects fifty years of constant refining.The fulcrum of the catalogue is the new and impressive Opulent Ascension, a site-specific sculpture over ten meters high, constructed from stacked frames, each wrapped in rich and varying colours of felt: the different colours visually suggest the steps of a monumental, ascending ladder leading the eye and spirit heavenwards and revealing the genius of the artist, always able to surprise us with new stylistic formulas and symbolic references. A soaring, charismatic work that catalyses the observer, leading him to the fulcrum of the artist's creative idea and which embodies Scully's conviction that his work can serve as a conduit between the physical world we can see and a transcendent one to which the soul aspires.

Ultra Baroque

The diversity of artists represented--hailing from South America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the United States--serves to critique and recuperate this concept of the Baroque that has become increasingly clichéd and misunderstood. With art by Ruben Ortiz Torres, Miguel Calderon, Rochelle Costi, Arturo Duclos,...

James McNeill Whistler

Whistler saltó repentinamente a la fama, como una estrella errante en un momento crucial en la historia del arte, un campo en el que fue pionero. Como los impresionistas a los que admiraba, deseaba imponer sus propias ideas. La obra de Whistler puede dividirse en cuatro periodos. El primero puede llamarse periodo de investigación, en el cual recibió la influencia del realismo de Gustave Courbet y del arte japonés. Después, Whistler descubrió su propia originalidad en la serie de Nocturnos y de los Jardines de Cremorne, con las que entró en conflicto con los academicistas, que querían...
