Though the Symbolist heyday in Paris was short-lived, the movement had an influence on painting in both duration and geographical range. Important Symbolist painters were at work in places as remote from one another as Munch in Oslo, Klimt in Vienna, and the young Picasso in Barcelona. It is through Symbolism, too, that the relationship between the English painting of the later nineteenth century and what was taking place in Europe can be explained. Edward Lucie-Smith's important study throws light upon the origins of Modernism, and upon the development of painting and sculpture in the final years of the century. 185 illus., 24 in color.

A fascinating study of the male nude in art : the image which provokes the most powerful of taboos but which has dominated the history of art for centuries. The myth of Adam, the 1st man, is about passing from the unclothed state of innocence to the clothed state of experience. Adam celebrates the male nude in every medium from the idealized beauty of ancient Greek and Roman statues to the perceptions of the male nude in every medium from the idealized beauty of ancient Greek and Roman statues to the perceptions of the male in Western society today. From the upsurge of interest during the time of the renaissance and artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo to the photography of Robert Maplethorpe and Bruce Weber, the history of the male nude is traced impeccably throughout the ages. In this incisive and witty text Edward Lucie Smith provides a valuable insight into the complex social, political and sexual contexts of the male nude.

"Richly illustrated...brings to life the work of many lesser-known artists throughout the continent." Choice This comprehensive survey introduces an exceptionally rich, fascinating, and complex art that has gained great popularity in recent years. Edward Lucie-Smith discusses all the major subjects and issues: magic realism, expressionism, and other concepts shared with Latin American literature; the great muralists Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Jose Clemente Orozco; the interaction of politics, society, and art; the continuing interest in folk art; and the dialogue between avant-garde European and North American movements and "indigenist" thinking in the work of artists such as Wifredo Lam, Matta, Rufino Tamayo, and Frida Kahlo. Many other artists from the 1900s to the present day are included in this compelling look at a great body of brilliantly original and imaginative art. For the second edition, the text has been updated and a new final section introduces some of Latin America's leading contemporary artists: Jose Bedia (Cuba/USA), Doris Salcedo (Colombia), Ruben Ortiz Torres (Mexico), Miguel Calderan (Mexico), Ernesto Neto (Brazil), Diana Domingues (Brazil), and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazil). Several of these artists make use of the latest in modern technology, including interactive installations, photographs, and video art. 178 illustrations, 45 in color.

The Story of Craft: The Craftsman's Role in Society

Charles Schucker's work was widely exhibited in his own lifetime in prestigious contexts. In addition to one man shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Katonah Museum, he was included in group exhibitions in a large number of major American institutions: the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Walker Art Center, in Minnesota. He was a well known and fully integrated member of the American art community, living first in Chicago, then from 1946 onwards in New York, where he taught at New York University, and then at the Pratt Institute. In 1990, Carter Ratcliff, an art critic for Art in America and Parkett, wrote, "Like his friend Morris Louis, Schucker broke free of traditional ways of making a painting. He began to pour the paint over the canvas, often in wide swirling currents. With the energy of those currents, his art broke free of Europe."
