Edward Ruscha : Editions 1959-1999
Clive Philpot , and Ed Ruscha Manufacturer: Walker Art Center ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0935640606 Release Date: 1999-06-02 |
Amazon.com
Prominent art critic Peter Schjeldahl once wrote that "to know the art of Ed Ruscha, you should know something about Los Angeles, and the reverse: knowing something about Ruscha's art will help you with Los Angeles." Today Edward Ruscha is considered a major voice in postwar American painting and one of contemporary art's most significant graphic artists. Edward Ruscha: Editions 1959-1999 presents the entire oeuvre of this innovative artist, whose subject and sensibility are uniquely American. Ruscha began his career as a commercial artist, and the visual language of advertising and his interest in typography as both word and image have exerted a profound influence on his art over the years. He says, "I like the idea of a word becoming a picture, almost leaving its body, then coming back and becoming a word again." His works often depict the interplay between bold letterforms and a more atmospheric background, a visual strategy that has become a Ruscha signature. For example, in Hollywood (1968), Ruscha created a panoramic image of low hills dramatically silhouetted against the blazing heat and hazy sky of a California sunset. The word Hollywood, reminiscent of the famous sign, sits directly on the horizon, angled toward us in capital letters and seemingly emerging from the setting sun itself.This catalogue raisonné was published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name, originating at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and traveling to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and other venues through early 2001. Both the catalogue and the exhibition document 40 years of Ruscha's innovative work, and they feature 17 artist's books, such as Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1963); a group of photographs taken on the historic Route 66; and some 300 prints, including a fragrant installation made entirely of paper sheets screen-printed with chocolate. Two large, slim, silvery hardback volumes are presented in a handsome black fabric-covered slipcase. Volume 1 illustrates hundreds of prints, books, and other projects with small, numbered images laid out like a series of film cells or words going by on an LED sign. Volume 2 includes entries for each piece and essays about the prints and artist's books, neither of which have ever been discussed in a publication of this scope. --A.C. Smith
Book Description
This slip-cased, two volume publication presents a comprehensive look at the print projects, editions, and artist books of Edward Ruscha....

Mississippi Harmony: Memoirs of a Freedom Fighter
Winson Hudson , and Constance Curry Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312295537 |
Book Description
Winson Hudson is a civil rights activist in her 80s from the rural, all-black town of Harmony, Mississippi. From voting rights to health care, from school desegregation to Head Start programs, and from equal housing to better roads and utilities, Hudso has fearlessly led her communitys struggle for racial justice in the heart of Ku Klux Klan territory. Her story, presented in her own words with historical background by noted author and civil rights activist Constance Curry, is a testimony to the trmendous challenges that black people faced on a daily basis in the segregated south, and to the remarkable courage that ordinary individuals demonstrated when they sought to enact change on a local level.Customer Reviews:
Is there a cause for which you would lay down your life?.......2004-06-03
Winson Hudson was one of those women. Born in 1916 in the geographic center of Mississippi, she began trying to register to vote in the 1940's, her niece was the one and only Black child who decided to "integrate" the all white school system after Brown, she founded the County chapter of the NAACP, she housed two civil rights workers during Freedom Summer (1964), her uncle was lynched, her sister's house was bombed (several times), and her life was at risk virtually daily for over 20 years.
This remarkable book gives a quick summary (the book is less than 150 pages) of these struggles, and provides a window into the heart of Ms. Hudson (and by analogy the thousands of others like her) which gave her the courage and commitment to stand up to oppression and injustice.
The book closes with Ms. Hudson's question, and challenge: where will young people today find this courage and dedication? Reading about the day to day decisions Ms. Hudson made leads one to examine one's own life. Is there any cause for which you would be willing to risk being beaten and your house bombed; would you send your 1st grader into the face of a howling mob to prove a principle? Most would say no. We need to remember that, but for some very courageous people who said yes to these questions, this country would be a much worse place.
A life well lived.......2003-02-28
Inspiring & fascinating view on the great American struggle.......2003-01-01
For the black community of Harmony, Mississippi, to simply survive these noxious injustices would be an admirable story in itself. However, two courageous residents of that community, Winson and Dovie Hudson are able to rise above and end many of the wrongs. These women are some of the unheralded heroes who literally risked lives, jobs, and homesto fight the national civil-rights effort at a local level. They are the common soldiers in a frightening war. They are survivors with an amazing story.
Though co-written by the famed civil-rights-era author, Constance Curry, "Mississippi Harmony" is told in first person as Winson Hudson talks directly to us. Reading the book was like listening to the best of storytellers.
