This style of art encompasses a wide range of artists with different approaches but generally has an image of being rebellious even to the point of being nihilistic. POLLOCK AND ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM *main source for biographies and art movements is Abstract expressionism was primarily an Amer- http://en.wikipedia.org/ ican art movement that developed after the second world war. It was the first North American move- ment to achieve worldwide influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world. The movement's name is derived from a com- bination of the emotional intensity of the German Expressionists artists from the early 1900's with Namuth, Hans (1915-1990) © Copyright"The Artist in 1950," research photograph associated with the exhibition, "Jackson Pollock."

Licensed by SCALA / Art Resource, NY JACKSON POLLOCK (1912-1956) Jackson Pollock was born in Cody, Wyoming in the American mid-west. Throughout his childhood, his family lived on a succession of "truck" farms in Arizona and southern California. When he was sixteen, Pollock first studied art at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles, where he met Philip Guston and Reu- ben Kadish, two friends who later became artists. In 1930, at age eighteen, Pollock moved from Los Angeles to New York City, settling in Greenwich Village. He immediately enrolled at the Art Students League, where he studied drawing and painting for five semesters with the American Regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton, who soon became his mentor and friend. From 1942, when he had his first one-person exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim'sArt of This Century gallery in New York, until his death in an automobile crash at age forty-four in 1956, Pollock's volatile art and personality made him a dominant figure in the art world and the press. In 1947–48 he devised a radically new innovation: using pour and drip techniques that relied on a lin- ear structure. He created canvases and works on paper that redefined the categories of painting and draw- ing. Referring to his 1951 exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery, fellow Abstract Expressionist painter Lee Krasner, who was Pollock's wife, noted that his work "seemed like monumental drawing, or maybe painting with the immediacy of drawing — some new category." 52 Chapter 4: Five Post Modern-Isms Module: Art Theory and History for Senior Students Course Code: AVI 4M Jackson Pollock.

"Autumn Rhythm," painted in October of that year, exemplifies the extraordinary balance between accident and control that Pollock maintained over his technique. The words "poured" and "dripped," commonly used to describe his unorthodox creative process, which involved painting on unstretched canvas laid flat on the floor, hardly suggest the diversity of the artist's movements (flicking, splattering, and dribbling) or the lyrical, often spiritual, compositions they produced.

He was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, attended Girard College, an academy for fatherless boys; attended Boston University; spent summers from 1956-62 painting in Provincetown, Mas- sachusetts, and died in New York City of a rheumatic heart disease. He was married to Elizabeth Vincent Parsons, a British ballet dancer. Kline's best known abstract expressionist paintings are in black and white. Kline re-introduced color into his paintings around 1955, though he used color more consistently after 1959. Kline's paintings are generally dynamic, spontaneous and have dramatic impact, Kline often closely referred to compositional drawings.

In 1932 he immigrated to the United States, where he resided until the end of his life. Before moving to the United States he worked with the Bavarian government as assistant to the direc- tor of Public Works. Through this, Hofmann was able to develop his knowledge of mathematics. He even went on to develop and patent devices such as the electromagnetic comptometer, a radar device for ships at sea, a sensitized light bulb, and a portable freezer unit for military use. Even with such great abilities in sci- ence and mathematics, Hofmann started to take great interest in creative studies later in his career he was revered as an influential teacher.

She began exhibiting her large-scale abstract expressionist paintings in contemporary museums and galleries in the early 1950s. She was included in the 1964 Post-Painterly Abstraction exhibition curated by Clement Greenberg that introduced a newer generation of abstract paint- ing that came to be known as Color Field painters.

She used found objects or everyday discarded things in her “assemblages”, one of which was three stories high. Nevelson studied at the Art Students League in New York City during 1929-30. She later studied with Hans Hofmann in Munich, and worked as an assistant to Diego Rivera.

    EXPO HYPER– Ceci n’est pas REALISM un corps SCULPTURE Untitled (Kneeling Woman), detail, 2015 ©Sam Jinks Courtesy of the artist Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney 22.11.2019 – 03.05.2020 LA BOVERIE LIÈGE.LUIK.LÜTTICH WWW.EXPO-CORPS.BE L’« hyperréalisme » est un courant artis- tique apparu dans les années 1970 aux Etats-Unis. Tournant le dos à l’abstraction et cherchant à atteindre une représenta- tion minutieuse de la nature au point que les spectateurs se demandent parfois s’ils ont affaire au corps vivant, l’artiste hyper- réaliste crée une oeuvre tantôt amusante, tantôt dérangeante, et toujours pour- voyeuse de sens. Avec une sélection d’une cinquantaine de sculptures hyperréalistes d’artistes internationaux de premier plan (George Segal, Ron Mueck, Maurizio Cattelan, Ber- linde De Bruyckere, Duane Hanson, John De Andrea…), l’exposition Hyperrealism Sculpture - Ceci n’est pas un corps. rendra compte de l’évolution de la figure humaine dans la sculpture de ce courant des années 1970 à nos jours. La sélection mettra en évidence différents problèmes clés dans l’approche de la représentation du réalisme figuratif afin de souligner la façon dont notre vision de notre corps a évolué sans cesse. Le titre de l’exposition fait référence à la célèbre oeuvre de René Magritte « Ceci n’est pas une pipe », qui questionnait le rapport de l’art à la réalité. Les artistes exposés à La Boverie s’attèlent à donner du corps humain la représentation la plus fidèle et vivante possible. Liège a saisi l’opportunité unique de s’intégrer dans le calendrier de la tournée mondiale de l’exposition, qui a été notamment présentée au Mu- sée des Beaux-Arts de Bilbao (Espagne), au Musée d’Art Contemporain de Monterrey (Mexique), à la National Gallery de Canberra (Australie) et à la Kunsthal de Rotterdam.

    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

  • Photo Realism
    Photo Realism As a full-fledged art movement Photorealism evolved from Pop Art, and as a counter to Abstract Expressionism as well as Minimalist art movements, in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States. Photorealists use a photograph, or several photographs, to gather the information to create their paintings, and it has been argued that the use of a camera and photographs is an acceptance of Modernism. Charles Thomas "Chuck" Close (born 1940) is an American painter, artist and photographer. He makes massive-scale photorealist portraits. Working from a gridded photograph, he builds his images by applying one careful stroke after another in multi-colours or grayscale. He works methodically, starting his loose but regular grid from the left hand corner of the canvas. His works are generally larger than life and highly focused. Close, Big Self-Portrait 1967-68 "One demonstration of the way photography became assimilated into the art world is the success of photorealist painting in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is also called super- realism or hyper-realism and painters like Richard Estes, Denis Peterson, Audrey Flack, and Chuck Close often worked from photographic stills to create paintings that appeared to be photographs. The everyday nature of the subject matter of the paintings Close, Susan 1971 likewise worked to secure the painting as a realist object." G. Thompson: American Culture in the 1980's Richard Estes (born 1932) is regarded as one of the founders of the international photo-realist movement of the late 1960s. His paintings generally consist of reflective, clean, and inanimate city and geometric landscapes.

DUANE HANSON PRESS RELEASE The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco presents the work of late American sculptor Duane Hanson (1925-1996) at Villa Paloma from February 20th until August 28th, 2016. Throughout his forty-year career, Hanson created lifelike sculptures portraying working-class Americans and overlooked members of society. Reminiscent of the Pop Art movement of the time, his sculptures transform the banalities and trivialities of everyday life into iconographic material. The exhibition – initiated by the Serpentine Galleries, London - presents key works from the artist’s oeuvre. Hanson’s early works comprised life-sized tableaux – depicting soldiers killed in action, police brutality and homeless people – that confront the viewer with devastating truths. Widespread criticism of his work Abortion in 1965 encouraged Hanson to formulate his social and political views as sculptures. In the following years, and in the spirit of protest movements of the time, he created sculptures that dealt with social misery and violence. From the late 1960s his work shifted to depicting everyday people, with some satirical aspects, creating figures that could be conceived as representative of an entire labour force, class or even a nation. Beginning with Football Players in 1968, Hanson produced sculptures that represent typical Americans, concentrating on “those that do not stand out”, including Housepainter (1984/1988) and Queenie II (1988).

The human form has been a recurring artistic concern throughout art history. Hyper Real: Visual Arts is a resource that is adaptable for use with a range of In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a significant revival in sculptural year levels. The development of this resource was informed by the Year 7–10 depictions of the figure.
