Sunday, January 24, 2010. The Art and Life of Harvey Dinnerstein. The book "Underground Together: The Art and Life of Harvey Dinnerstein". I think his most memorable works are his paintings of people riding the New York subway, so it seems fitting that the book is titled. Hardcover 208 pages, 12.2 x 9.3 inches, numerous colour illustrations. Other books on portraiture:. Not related to Dinnerstein). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Art Book News: Sparrow series: Kent Williams

http://artbooknews.blogspot.com/2010/01/sparrow-series-kent-williams.html

Friday, January 29, 2010. Sparrow series: Kent Williams. As an art book reviewer I regularly extol the virtues of large books, while conversely observing that books that scrimp on size have fallen short of their potential, no matter how well written and fastidiously designed. This book review is therefore a little out of character for me. It’s a short homage to a deliberately weenie book. Hardcover (but no dustjacket), 48 pages, 6.2 x 5.8 inches, 45 illustrations.

The photos show the staged emergence of artworks on white primed canvas, including changes in compositions as the paintings evolve (mainly these involve shuffles of background elements).

Art Book News: Odd Nerdrum: Themes

http://artbooknews.blogspot.com/2010/01/odd-nerdrum-themes.html

Saturday, January 23, 2010. My most recent book review dealt with the upbeat artworks of Norman Rockwell. Rockwell painted a world that was idealised, to the point of caricature. He wrote. 8220;If there was [any] sadness in this creative world of mine, it was a pleasant sadness. If there were problems, they were humorous problems. I’d rather not paint the agonizing crises and tangles of life.”. This is a quality that many of us like in art. 8220;Odd Nerdrum: Themes”. Since he made that vow, Odd Nerdrum h...
