Seller ID: 439498

ISBN: 0226532119

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: Used - Good

What is the fate of art in an age of publicity? How has the role of traditional public (i.e., government-owned) art changed in contemporary culture, and how have changing conditions of public space and mass communications altered the whole relationship between art and its potential audiences?
With contributions from the arts, philosophy, criticism, and the law, the thirteen essays in this volume explore the aesthetic, social, and political dynamics that make contemporary public art so controversial, and that that have placed recent art work at the center of public debates.

ISBN: 0684834618

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Used - Good

Hidden in a corner among the great sacred texts of the world lies a series of exuberantly ribald underground comics known as the Tijuana Bibles. Iconoclastic, hilarious, and sexy, these anonymous little books, written from the 1930s through the 1950s, are revered among scholars and aficionados of American folk art, and devotees of comics as well as collectors of erotica. The primitive energy of their vigorous, often crude line, combined with their gonzo sensibilities, has given the Bibles a tremendous if largely unacknowledged influence on such talents as Art Spiegelman, Robert Crumb, and Lenn...

Someone Is Trying to Tell You Something

All over the world, people are writing messages on the walls and sidewalks of the cities in which we live. They are staying up late, breaking the law, and taking risks to say something to you.

Frescoes of Conrad Albrizio: Public Murals in the Midcentury South

By: Albrizo, Conrad

Price: $20.00

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Used - Good

The artist Conrad Albrizio (1894-1973), a New York City native who studied internationally, made his home in New Orleans for more than a half century. To the people of Louisiana and Alabama, he bestowed the lasting gift of large-scale public frescoes, a form he championed long after the general popularity of communal art waned. From regional realism in his New Deal-commissioned works of the 1930s to his abstract-influenced, socially conscious interpretations of the 1950s, Albrizio's creations exemplify the midcentury period while showcasing the ancient technique of fresco. In this lavishly ...
