Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. Peter Paul Rubens (1577 1640) proudly described his monumental painting 'Prometheus Bound' as firstamong the flower of my stock. This singular work demonstrates how Rubens engaged with and responded to his predecessors Michelangelo and Titian, with whom he shared an interest in depictions of physical torment. 'The Wrath of the Gods' offers an in-depth case study of the Flemish artist s creative process and aesthetic, while also demonstrating why this particular painting has appealed to viewers over time. Many scholars have elaborated on Rubens s affinity for Titian, but his connection to Michelangelo has received far less attention. This study presents a new interpretation of 'Prometheus Bound,' showing how Rubens created parallels between the pagan hero Prometheus and Michelangelo s Risen Christ from the Sistine Chapel s 'Last Judgment.' Christopher D. M. Atkins expands our understanding of artistic transmission by elucidating how Rubens synthesized the works he saw in Italy, Spain, and his native Antwerp, and how 'Prometheus Bound' in turn influenced Dutch, Flemish, and Italian artists. By emulating Rubens s composition, these artists circulated it throughout Europe, broadening its influence from his day to ours.'.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. This handsome volume, the third of the John Baldessari (b. 1931) catalogue raisonnE project, compiles 400-plus unique works of art made by the influential conceptual artist from 1987 through 1993. Here we see the artist's large-scale photo-based works, many of which employed his signature colored discs painted over the faces of people in the photos, accompanied by entries that trace the shifts and developments in Baldessari's work as his collaged photo narratives achieved maturity and mastery. A critical essay by Briony Fer provides a close reading of selected works, giving historical context for Baldessari's art from this period. In addition to a detailed chronology, complete exhibition history, and bibliography, this volume notably features a previously unpublished conversation between Baldessari and the artist Ed Ruscha, which was undertaken specifically for this publication. In the conversation, the artists discuss their early careers in Southern California and the shared thematic concerns in their work. The artworks in this volume demonstrate Baldessari's ability to express--and, in many cases, combine--the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of a single piece. A comprehensive look at works made by Baldessari between the years 1987 and 1993.
