BookId: B3-10017 Title: Barbara Hepworth Author: The Tate Gallery Publisher: The Tate Gallery Price: 33.00 Description:This is a rare catalogue from the exhibition of Barbara Hepworth , sculpture works which happened from April3 to May 19, 1968. The condition of the book is not perfect, damaged cover and no dust jacket, but the inside is very good and informative . From the Blurb: The two great pioneer figures of modern British sculpture are Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Though fellow students in their early days and sharing an interest in direct carving and 'truth to materials', their work soon developed in quite different directions. Barbara Hepworth moved towards complete abstraction and, with her second husband Ben Nicholson, came to play a major role in the international abstract movement. Her early abstract carvings, of extreme simplicity and purity, formed the starting-point for her more complex later works in which the forms were hollowed out or pierced with holes: their smooth surfaces make a great appeal to the sense of touch, while their clarity of form radiates a calm perfection. Since the outbreak of war in 1939 she has lived at St. Ives in Cornwall and has been influenced by the Cornish light and coastline in fact, a number of her post-war works embody her sensations of being in a landscape. This exhibition, which was selected in collaboration with the artist, covers her entire development and illustrates her use of a wide range of materials of different colours and textures; it includes a number of sculptures with strings or coloured surfaces, as well as some of her recent bronzes and her abstract and figurative drawings. The catalogue introduction is by Ronald Alley, the Keeper of the Tate Gallery's Modern Collection Order Now! BookId: B3-16160 Title: Le Lavis en Extreme-Orient Author: E Grosse Publisher: Les editions G.Cres Price: 100.00 Description:LE LAVIS EN EXTRÊME ORIENT par E. GROSSE, Éditions Crès, 161 Planches. "Le sujet principal du lavis est le paysage, sujet que la peinture objective n'avait traité auparavant que comme fond pour ses personnages, ou à la manière de cartes. Ce sont les maîtres du lavis qui ont créé le paysage en tant que genre artistique distinct, et qui l'ont porté au plus haut point de perfection qu'il ait connu en Orient. Presque tous les grands artistes de l'école subjective ont été en premier lieu des paysagistes. L'amour du paysage est un héritage légué au zénisme aussi bien par ses ancêtres taoïstes que par ses ancêtres bouddhiques." Order Now!
