The Magic of Trees
by Reinhold Hohl
Some of the oldest and most enduring myths involve the tree. Why this is, should be obvious, for without trees there would be no oxygen, fire, heat, wood, paper, nor dwellings -- in short, no life as we know it. Like water, trees are not just metaphors for life, they are life. This book celebrates the tree as it inspires artistic imagination, and gathers together the arboreal images of such artists as Friedrich, Monet, Cezanne, Giacometti, Ernst, Beuys, Baselitz, Penone, and many others, as well as artists and artisans From Africa and the Pacific. Here, those who have identified with trees for their symbolic, aesthetic, and natural principles of life preservation, are represented and discussed, and the role of the tree in folklore, magic, religion, and aesthetics, is considered.
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
by Georgia O'Keeffe
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, America's first art museum dedicated to the work of a woman artist of international stature, will receive much attention when it opens in Santa Fe on July 17, 1997. This inaugural volume documents the initial collection in full color, and adds considerable new insight into O'Keeffe's significance in American and world art.Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was both a premier modernist and an inspiring woman. Works from all periods of her career--many never before reproduced--are included among the 86 colorplates, while black-and-white photographs document her extraordinary life. Peter H. Hassrick, director of the museum, has assembled an impressive group of art historians to write on such issues as O'Keeffe's originality, the relationship between her life and her art, and the influence of American literary and artistic traditions on her work. Among the authors are Mark Stevens, art critic of New York magazine; Lisa Mintz Messinger, assistant curator, Department of 20th Century Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Barbara Novak, Altschul Professor of Art History at Barnard College and Columbia University, New York; and Barbara Rose, distinguished art historian, lecturer, and critic. Their invaluable texts are complemented by a chronology of O'Keeffe's life and work by Charles C. Eldredge, Hall Distinguished Professor of American Art at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, and author of Georgia O'Keeffe in Abrams' Library of American Art.
