Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Discover the joyful work of Argentinian-born Julio Le Parc, a leading figure in contemporary art. Colourful and seductive, this immersive exhibition celebrates the visionary work of Julio Le Parc. Featuring his iconic interactive installations, striking sculptures, and large-scale op art paintings, the show spans an extraordinary career from the 1950s to the 2010s. Best known for his pioneering kinetic sculptures, which use light, movement and mirrored surfaces to playfully draw in the viewer, the show also explores the depth and diversity of Le Parc's talent, revealing him to be a politically engaged artist and highly skilled painter with a passion for colour. Born in Argentina in 1928, Le Parc moved to France in 1958, where he settled. He was part of the vibrant artistic scene of 1960s Paris, a time of radical innovation and boundless creativity, but always maintained strong connections to Latin America. His story offers a fascinating insight into the evolving practise of an artist endlessly experimenting with dynamic visual effects.
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Published to coincide with the first major exhibition at Tate Britain and marking the 250th anniversary of the birth of two of Britain's most beloved artists, Turner and Constable: Two Visions of Landscape will give a unique insight into the work of these painters in tandemDrawing on the very best of their work, the book reveals the ways in which the painters offered two competing and highly original visions of landscape painting, both of which remain powerfully resonant today. Each challenged the artistic norms of their time while also responding to the transformative social, political, economic, and environmental developments of the early 19th century. Defying convention, they proved that landscape painting could be a vehicle for profound reflections on life as they saw it, paving the way for landscape art to become a vital arena for artistic expression. Despite all their differences, the ways in which these painters presented a radical challenge to artistic norms led them to be described by their contemporaries in similar ways. They were simultaneously celebrated as the two great 'originals' of contemporary British art but also attacked as eccentric outsiders whose work was increasingly puzzling and illegible. Turner and Constable: Two Visions of Landscape will offer a chance to directly compare highlights from the full span of the two artists' careers. This fresh and ambitious presentation of their work will inspire many to reconnect with these beloved artists anew and equally inspire those who are less familiar with their work to appreciate its vitality, soul, and enduring power.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 240 pp. Englisch.
