The paintings of Joan Mitchell
by Jane Livingston (2002)
About this book
"Joan Mitchell was one of the preeminent painters of the Abstract Expressionist episode in American art. During the prime decades of her career, the 1950s through the 1980s, she produced a body of ambitious, lyrical, and often bravura oil paintings which rank with those achieved by her mentors, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. It is the ambition of The Paintings of Joan Mitchell to introduce Mitchell's life and work to a far wider audience than has ever been exposed to her contribution.". "The Paintings of Joan Mitchell is published on the occasion of a major exhibition of Mitchell's work at the Whitney Museum of American Art, mounted ten years after her death. It is perhaps only now that we are able to tell her story both as an artist and as a brilliant, complex, and sometimes turbulent woman. Many aspects of Mitchell's career that have been virtually unknown to the American audience are revealed here from different perspectives by authors Jane Livingston, Linda Nochlin, and Yvette Y. Lee. These texts, together with many previously unpublished images, offer a riveting narrative and a powerful visual experience."--BOOK JACKET.

This volume includes full-color reproductions of drawings and woodblock prints by Japan's most beloved artist. These landscapes-including his famous views of Mount Fuji- portraits of lovers and kabuki actors, nature and animal illustrations, as well as scenes of daily life in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Japan reveal the artist's genius for rendering a wide variety of subjects. Matthi Forrer discusses in his essay Hokusai's life and lasting popularity while placing his work within the context of Japanese society and the work of his contemporaries.
Bartholdi en Égypte et au Yémen, 1855-1856
commissariat de l'exposition, Nicolas Surlapierre
Catalogue de l'exposition présentée au musée d'art et d'histoire de Belfort, du 23 juin au 24 septembre 2012. Bartholdi (1834-1904) effectue, au départ de Marseille, sur l'Osiris, un long périple du 1er novembre 1855 à la mi-juin 1856 pour l'Egypte et le Yémen. Ce voyage de groupe notamment avec Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) est itinérant. Il arrive à Alexandrie, fait étape au Caire, remonte en dahabieh vers les sources du Nil jusqu'à Assouan. Au cours de ces haltes, d'études, l'artiste rencontre de nombreux personnages pittoresques ou hauts-en-couleurs. L'exposition grâce à 100 dessins, les premiers calotypes de Bartholdi (une vingtaine), des documents d'archives inédits, des livres rares et précieux que Bartholid consulta pour préparer son voyage retracera cette singulière expédition.
