"This book brings together for the first time Sean Scully's images of the walls of Aran, revealing the unexpected yet monumental beauty of these centuries-old structures that meander across the austere and exposed landscape. In form and spirit, the photographs of the walls, with their horizontal and vertical shards of limestone, shed light on Scully's own sensibilities as an artist, revealing a creative process expressed through abstract shapes yet rooted in the material world. They also capture the stillness and serenity of this rugged, timeless place on the edge of Europe."--Jacket.

[introduction, Anne D'Harnoncourt

"This book chronicles the friendship and working relationship between Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Joseph Cornell (1903-1972), two of the twentieth century's most innovative and influential artists. Joseph Cornell/Marcel Duchamp...in resonance publishes for the first time the Duchamp Dossier (c. 1942-53) - a hitherto publicly unknown collection compiled by Cornell and discovered in the artist's estate following his death in 1972. The small objects, typed and handwritten notes, and ephemera found within the Duchamp Dossier provide an absorbing record of the interchange between these two artists, which included Cornell's assisting Duchamp on the assembly of his edition de ou par Marcel Duchamp ou Rrose Selavy (commonly referred to as the Boite-en-valise)." "Both artists were intrigued by the connection between art and the found object, and they shared a fascination with replicated images and the processes of reproduction. They had parallel interests in optical devices, ephemeral mediums (such as glass, dust, and paper), filmmaking, and graphic design. The book focuses in depth on Duchamp's box editions and Cornell's often neglected "explorations," arranged files of printed matter, notes, and ephemera related to individuals or specific themes."--BOOK JACKET.

"This illustrated volume examines the lines of influence leading from Monet to the great modern exponents of Abstract Expressionism. The book emphasizes the innovative aspects of Monet's late works, including his famous waterlily paintings and Rouen Cathedral series. His paintings are juxtaposed with those of 30 modern artists, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, and Ellsworth Kelly." "The ground-breaking importance of Monet's late work was long underestimated by avant-garde artists of the early 20th century. For them Cezanne was the father of modern art. It was only in the 1950s that the Abstract Expressionists in America and Europe began to recognize and build upon Monet's achievements. This fascinating volume provides fresh insight into the works of Monet and the followers of Abstract Expressionism in its various American and European manifestations."--Jacket.
