Donald Kuspit is an American art critic and poet whose work delves deeply into the psychological and philosophical dimensions of art. His critical approach often examines how artworks reflect and influence the human psyche, seeking expressions of the unconscious and existential angst. Kuspit's style is analytical and penetrating, aiming to uncover hidden meanings and creators' motivations. His influence extends far beyond art criticism, shaping the understanding of modern and postmodern art.
Tobin's work transforms the wonders of nature into monumental sculptures. Blown-glass Cocoons, cast-glass Doors, luminous Waterglass, recent Shelters and Earth Bronzes (including African Termite Hills, Bone sculptures, and signature Roots) and his provocative new Exploded Clay are explored.
The Fusion Caskets were begun in 1972 and completed in 1983. The series is comprised of 9 sculpturally painted wooden boxes. Each box was created using oils and acrylics on wood and resin casts, sculptural found objects and more than 100 internal and external lights. Shalom Neuman is an unprecedented phenomenon.
The great German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch was a contemporary of Moholy-Nagy and Brecht and a close friend of Hermann Hesse, yet his work is little known in the English-speaking world. Born in Wurzburg in 1897, Renger-Patzsch was a member of the movement that came to be known as NeueSachlichkeit ("New Objectivity"). His most famous book Die Welt ist schon (The World is Beautiful), published in 1928, immediately established him as one of the leading photographers in Germany. This volume brings together sixty-five of Renger-Patzsch's photographs, many of them never beforepublished. Together they help trace the life, career, and influence of one of the century's most important photographers, and will be an essential resource for scholars, social historians, and students of photography.
Die Last der Geschichte in der zeitgenössischen Kunst
En quarante ans de carrière, il m’a souvent été donné l’occasion de soutenir des expositions, mais jamais je n’avais su trouver autant de liens qui peuvent unir un artiste et un lieu à notre maison. Des origines italiennes à sa vie parisienne, l’artiste est comme Zilli, bercé entre deux cultures qui ont façonné l’histoire de l’art. Du passé glorieux des Médicis, Lyon en a gardé une trace indéfectible, par le mariage de Henri IV à Marie de Médicis ; Lyon, berceau de Zilli. Je suis très fier d’apporter mon soutien à la rétrospective des étapes essentielles de la carrière de Beatrice Caraccciolo, et c’est aussi un hommage que je rends aux femmes italiennes qui ont guidé mes pas, ma mère et mon épouse Roberta.
