It is presented in an accessible volume for all art lovers as well as the art worlds cognoscenti. Art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon said: There has been nothing like this in the field of British art for a long time. This book marks the rediscovery of a more or less completely forgotten master an artist whose work, particularly in the medium of watercolour, reaches the highest peaks of innovation and virtuosity, worthy of comparison with that even of Turner. High praise, but not too high. In this beautifully illustrated book, author Philip Modiano compares Petit with his mid-century contemporaries in Britain and France and demonstrates that almost uniquely in Britain after the death of J.M.W. Turner in 1851, Petit foreshadowed Impressionism in contrast to the Pre-Raphaelites ... More | |

PARIS.- Youll never know the fear of losing someone like you, when youre someone like me, says the torturous Annie, in the 1990 film adaptation of Stephen Kings Misery. The line is delivered to Paul, a famous romance novelist with whom Annie is obsesseda character necessarily equated to King himself, making Annie the horrifying, metaphorical readership of King books: demanding to the point of (literally) hobbling. Inversely, Annie will never know someone like Pauls fear of losing someone like her, the fear that the proverbial reader has taken over and is shaping the work more than can ever be known. In Sam McKinnisss paintings, one sees the artist working overtly against this fear by leaning into and beyond it, painting subjects not from his own personal experiences but those with which most of us are extremely familiar, found in popular media, press photos, ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Freeman, Inc. is presenting Fernanda Gomess (b. 1960, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) inaugural exhibition with the gallery. This is her first solo presentation since her 2019 panoramic exhibition at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo and her first one-person show in New York since 2006. Using a vast range of materials and procedures, she makes artworks either in a traditional artisanal way or by constructing objects from all sorts of items collected from her immediate surroundings. By choosing to repurpose what already exists, she reflects on consumerism, waste, value, and the idea of economy in a broader sense, as a principle and practice. From her first show in 1988 to her latest presentation, Fernanda Gomes treats each exhibition as a work of art in itself, creating ensembles of autonomous pieces and responding to a diversity of contexts and situations. Her work calls into question the very nature of presence, in movement, ... More | |

More  Exhibition at Kunsthaus Hamburg spans music and the visual and performing artsHAMBURG.- Sand is the framework of the world, the foundation of modern technologies, the seemingly inexhaustible, invisible yet fundamental material of built habitats and digital communication devices. In order to extract it, beaches are transported away, sea- beds sucked out, gigantic pits are excavated, mountains piled up. Wars are fought on and over sand, villages sink into the ground, islands are inundated by the sea. In concrete, asphalt, glass, telescopes, fibre optic cables, chips, mobile phones and satellites, sand is below and above us, is an extension of our bodies. At the same time, however, sand manifests countless stories of dispossession, forced resettlement, persistent colonial power relations, oppression and exploitation; sand also holds manifold spiritual meaning as the (un)resting place of bones. !Hū is the word for sand in Khoekhoegowab, ...

Parks, on contract with Life, shadowed him from the fall of 1966 to the spring of 1967, as Carmichael gave speeches, headed meetings and promoted the growing Black Power movement.

Tadao Ando (born September 13, 1941, in Minato-ku, Osaka, Japan and raised in Asahi-ku in the city) is a Japanese architect whose approach to architecture was categorized by Francesco Dal Co as critical regionalism. Ando has led a storied life, working as a truck driver and boxer prior to settling on the profession of architecture, despite never having taken formal training in the field. He visited buildings designed by renowned architects like Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Kahn before returning to Osaka in 1968 and established his own design studio, Tadao Ando Architect and Associates.
