Blue Studios $30.66 Feminist issues in avant garde poetry.   In her now-classic The Pink Guitar , Rachel Blau DuPlessis examined a number of modern and contemporary poets and artists to explore the possibility of finding a language that would question deeply held assumptions about gender. In the 12 essays and introduction that constitute Blue Studios , DuPlessis continues that task, examining the work of experimental poets and the innovative forms they have fashioned to challenge commonplace assumptions about gender and cultural authority.   The essays in “Attitudes and Practices” deal with two questions: what a feminist reading of cultural texts involves, and the nature of the essay itself as a mode of knowing: how poetry can be discursive and how the essay can be poetic. The goal of “Marble Paper,” with its studies of William Wordsworth, Ezra Pound, and Charles Olson is to suggest terms for a “feminist history of poetry.”   “Perspectives must be fashioned that displace and estrange the world,” Theodore Adorno wrote, and in the section “Urrealism” DuPlessis examines the work of poets from several schools (the Objectivists, the New York School, the surrealists) whose work embodies that displacement, among them George Oppen, Lorine Niedecker, H.D., and Barbara Guest. These writers’ radical deployment of line, sound, and structure, DuPlessis argues, demonstrate poetry’s power not as a purely literary, artistic, or aesthetic force but as a rhetorical form intricately tied to issues of power and ethics. And in “Migrated Into,” the author probes the ways these issues have informed her, as a poet and a critic; how the political has “migrated into” and suffused her own work; and how the practice of poetry can be an arousal to a deeper understanding of what we stand for.   |

The Story Behind Painting
Audible are only soft blues and scratches. Seventeen artists are busy at work on a single subject, and they use paint, pastels, and pencils. In her regular workout gear, a dance instructor sits on a small bench in the center and tilts her head upwards as the subject.
Her prominent features and upswept hair monopolize the attention of a fraction of the artists. Another bunch share the excitement they feel over her body and limbs, which they recreate with strong strokes or soft ones, shaded. A Crystal Lake painter has chosen to superimpose watercolor outlines of the model's various poses across one page, creating the illusion of movement. Primarily a landscape artist, she uses their group's weekly meeting to refine her figure drawing skills and to experiment with new techniques.

She says that people understand practice when you're talking about musicians and instruments, but when it's drawing and artists, they really don't think about that. With one glance, she knows she has done a good job this time. The inspiration that sets apart a work of art can come at any moment, whether during study or practice, and a portrait is judged by its connection to the viewer through its rendition of the human figure and emotion.
Portraiture is the specialty of another female member, who rediscovered her love two years ago after being held back by the business world for twenty years. There has always been a special spot in her heart for portraits. The artist has a sixth sense about what the subject is feeling and gives his own interpretation on canvas. She paints the confident model using bold colors, dark green, blue, yellow and white, that other artists would hesitate to use.
What the artist sees is more than the colors of one's face. There are also tones, cool like blue and green or warm like yellow and white, created by lighting that the artist must capture. The master Renoir started this technique, which she has always wanted to try. Most portrait artists use both live sittings and photographs in commission work. Patrons must weigh the convenience of sending a photograph with the accuracy of personality depiction with a live sitting. But capturing it on canvas can be a challenge. People are so used to walls around them that they show their true selves only momentarily. Though her end products are good depictions of the subject, this is never her primary goal. She believes one's inner beauty takes precedence, which is a good technique when successful. Articles on paintings like this can be viewed at oil paintings usa.
The patron usually has an idea of how he wants to be portrayed, which the artist must reconcile with his own urges. Subjects seem to pop out of the painting when vibrant colors are used.

Lost Treasures of Louis Comfort Tiffany $35 The works of the Tiffany Studios revolutionized interior design in turn-of-the-century America. All of the company's works-from stained-glass windows to blown-glass vases; lamp shades to inkwells-bore the unique stamp of one man, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created the Tiffany Studios and supervised every aspect of their production. Many of these official studio pieces are well known today-avidly sought by museums and collectors worldwide. Special ones among them, as well as other lesser known pieces-the "lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself-are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal oeuvre-the objects made from his original designs for exhibition, for private commissions, or for use in Tiffany's own homes. This book reevaluates Tiffany's art in terms of his personal work-including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the course of his prolific career; stained glass, of course, but also mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany's pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his dream of creating a permanent residential retreat for working artists. Hugh F. McKean also provides much intimate insight into Tiffany's personality, his domestic life, his financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art. Lavishly illustrated, the book presents a vivid display of Tiffany's wide-ranging aesthetic. The result is a rare portrait of Tiffany the man-and of the prodigious imagination that almost single-handedly transformed the day-to-day image of a nation and an era. |

100 New York Painters $4.84 This stunning book is the long-awaited result of an extensive review of New York painters and their widely diverse works. It presents an overview of styles, mediums, subjects, even philosophies of art found in galleries, museums, and artists' studios of present-day New York, the oft-acknowledged Art Capital of the contemporary world. Although you may recognize the names and works of many, this company of 100 painters also features works by artists less celebrated, though no less deserving of attention. Expect to find recent works, as well as paintings from an earlier period of an artist's oeuvre -- as near as Kelynn Alder's "Coney Island," painted specifically for this book, and as distant as George Tooker's iconic allegory, "Subway," painted in 1950. Brief biographical sketches accompany each artist's work, providing insight into their emotional and philosophical connection with art as well as their schooling and accomplishments. Experience for yourself this visual feast showcasing the unique works of 100 gifted New York painters. This book is a must-have addition for the library of any art connoisseur and/or collector. |
