Gustave Moreau
by Genevieve Lacambre
The French artist Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) was among the painters who paved the way for modern art. The teacher of Matisse and Rouault, Moreau created in his work a world of glittering illusion and mystery. His complex, decorative style united a passion for mythology and mysticism with exquisite craftsmanship, and inspired a generation of Symbolist painters and writers, among them Proust, Mallarme, and the English Pre-Raphaelites. Genevieve Lacambre, curator of the Gustave Moreau Museum, Paris, explores Moreau's life and leads a tour of the museum that, created by the artist himself, holds all his secrets.
Out of My Mind
by Kristin Nelson Tinker
Born in 1945 into a Hollywood family of "competition, achievement, and celebrity," Kristin Nelson Tinker began to paint in her distinctive American primitive style when she was in her teens. Out of My Mind, her first book, brings together more than 100 of her autobiographical paintings to tell in words and images the story of her life. The daughter of legendary football hero Tom Harmon and actress Elyse Knox, Tinker married musician, actor, and rock idol Ricky Nelson when she was 17 and found herself a single mother of four children in her mid-30s. Her journey through the decades of postwar America is one that will resonate powerfully with readers.Throughout Tinker's life she has recorded personal events and experiences on canvas, capturing 35 years of American dreams: weddings and birthdays; Halloween and Christmas; the hippie idylls of the 1970s and Los Angeles street scenes; antiquing on Martha's Vineyard and ice skating in New York; rock concerts, football games, and backyard basketball; barbecues on the beach and fireworks bursting over the water. Her family history and Tinker's own story of growth, emotional crisis, and recovery, including her increasingly strong belief in herself as an artist, is complemented here by her journal entries and poetry as well as pertinent and moving selections from contemporary songs and verse.Kristin Nelson Tinker had her first solo exhibition in 1967, and her paintings have been widely collected and commissioned since that time. Married to producer/director Mark Tinker, she divides her time between the East and West coasts. Out of My Mind is an extraordinary document of the search for emotional truth in a time of revolutionary change.

Georgia O'Keeffe
by Bram Dijkstra
Georgia O'Keeffe has long been recognized as one of America's most adventurous early modernist artists. But critics often suggest that she became a revolutionary despite her American background, not because of it. Bram Dijkstra challenges that point of view. In this searching reappraisal of O'Keeffe's work, the distinguished cultural historian shows that her art was decisively shaped by the America in which she grew up. In doing so, he casts new light on the facts of O'Keeffe's remarkable life and offers incisive new readings of many of her most important paintings. Art historians have largely accepted the view that O'Keeffe's art was shaped by Alfred Stieglitz and the work of the European modernists she encountered under his tutelage--a view actively encouraged by the famous photographer himself. Dijkstra counters this idea by taking us into the cultural environment of her childhood and by illuminating the details of her early education in art. He shows that O'Keeffe's mature style found its origin in such apparently unlikely sources as Edgar Allan Poe's speculations about the androgynous nature of the soul before industrialism, and in what Dijkstra calls the "transcendental materialism" of the tonalist movement in turn-of-the-century American art. Dijkstra also explores O'Keeffe's important--but until now widely neglected--identification with the feminist aims and artistic concerns of the radical periodical The Masses. And he shows that even the daring new styles of illustration featured there, and in other magazines of the period, significantly influenced her development of a personal style. Dijkstra argues, moreover, that O'Keeffe's very American search for an organic abstraction of form that would celebrate nature allowed her to develop a humanist style that deliberately challenged the early European modernists' emphasis on mechanistic constructions of form against nature. Beautifully written and painstakingly researched, Georgia O'Keeffe and the Eros of Place is a major reassessment of O'Keeffe's place in American culture and a tribute to the artist's steadfast refusal to abandon her "provincial" belief in the shaping spirit of place.
