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.
Modern Starts
by John Elderfield
"Modern Starts: People, Places, Things" is an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the "Things" segment explored in this book addresses the importance of object-like works, such as Duchamp's Readymades, and representations of things from Picasso's still lifes to advertising posters.
The Art of Craft
by Timothy Anglin Burgard
The evolution of the contemporary crafts movement is one of the outstanding art world developments of the latter half of the twentieth century. In this sumptuous book, with more than 200 stunning color images, the best of contemporary crafts is celebrated, with sections on glass, ceramic/porcelain, wood/furniture, fiber, and metal art. Drawn from the unparalleled collection of George and Dorothy Saxe -- one of the premier collections of contemporary crafts in the United States -- the objects pictured form a glorious survey of this exciting and innovative field, with particular emphasis on glass. The Saxe Collection is distinguished by both its high quality and its depth, with many major artists represented by works from different periods in their careers. Prominent West Coast artists represented include Robert Arneson, Dale Chihuly, Viola Frey, Sam Maloof, William Morris, Manuel Neri, Peter Voulkos, and Beatrice Wood. Also included are works by artists better known for their work in other fields, including Kiki Smith and Larry Bell.
