David Hilliard

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: David Hilliard’s vibrant color photographs, usually triptychs or larger compositions, present elaborate narratives exploring a range of themes and situations, from the awkwardness of adolescence to masculinity disarmed. Formally, these staged photographs share the style of contemporary photographers like Gregory Crewdson and Anna Gaskell, among others. Yet Hilliard draws less from the realm of the fantastic and instead looks to his immediate surroundings to draw inspiration, as he deftly fuses autobiography with fiction to engage a host of complex ideas. This lush monograph is the first major publication of Hilliard’s work. Included are works from the artist’s ongoing series of his father that demonstrate Hilliard’s ability to tangle fact with fiction as the resulting images, underscored by the artist’s wry outlook on the world, convey a distinct poignancy. Other works engage issues of intimacy, homoeroticism, and identity. The resulting… [detailed...]

David Hockney Paintings (Art &, Design S.)

2000 y.
Publisher: —
Description: David Hockney has, in some ways been the victim of his own popularity. Frequently interpreted as the lightweight expression of a colourful personality, his work is characterized by an underlying seriousness of purpose. Each of the volumes`s six chapters, broadly chronological in sequence is introduced by an essay that examines in depth certain aspects of Hockney`s artistic practice. The complexity of his imagery is further elucidated in the commentaries accompanying each of the colour plates. These encompass the period from 1960 to 1993, from work produced during the artist`s student days at the Royal College of Art in London to his most recent paintings, enriched through his experience of designing for the stage and by his experiments with photo-collage and fax art.

David Hockney

2007 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: This consideration of Hockney`s work from 1960 to the early nineties dispels myths and opens up new lines of inquiry concerning his contributions to post-modern art. Filled with beautiful color plates of his paintings, the book draws on extensive research and the artist`s personal archives. In a broad chronological format the book reveals the major phases in Hockney`s oeuvre: his early years as a student at the Royal College of Art in London and his ironic experimentation with different styles of painting, his images of life in southern California, his highly personal portraits and their studies in perspective, his reinterpretations of modernist paintings, and his forays into photo-collage. The authors` incisive commentary reveals how Hockney`s paintings question, parody and undermine accepted ideas about modern art, while forcing us to reconsider our assumptions about originality and creativity.

Originally published in December, 1994 by Lifetime Books, Inc., Hollywood, Florida. This book was Co-Authored by Ellie Janssen, David`s wife (1968-1972), and Michael Phelps. An intimate revelation of their marriage, and the agony of their divorce. Ellie Janssen held nothing back. Her love for David endured through it all. Ellie`s love and devotion to David never died. Following their divorce (at the time, it was the `longest running divorce case in Los Angeles Court history)., Ellie never engaged in an affair with another man, she never remarried. Her love for David was painfully clear as she worked with Michael Phelps in writing this book. What Ellie failed to divulge in this writing, perhaps out of modesty or respect for David, is the fact that she was `The Woman` behind the `successful` man. She orchastrated his… [detailed...]

David Levinthal: Baseball

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For more than three decades, artist David Levinthal has examined American popular culture and social mores as reflected through toys and miniatures. For Levinthal, the playful surface and shiny sheen of children`s objects shroud other meanings, which he cleverly uncovers in large format photographs that are equally stunning for both their beauty and irony. In series, like Wild West, American Beauties or Modern Romance, Levinthal pierces the mythology of quintessentially American subjects while also playing to our collective nostalgia. His is a vision that not only underscores our country`s uniqueness but also its desire for iconic representations and recognizable heroes. Perhaps no series to date by Levinthal shows this more than his ongoing work about professional American baseball. Perhaps the most accessible of all his series, Levinthal`s Baseball is remarkable for its straightforward celebration of America`s most beloved sport. With both antique and recently manufactured… [detailed...]

David Lynch

2007 y.
Publisher: Oldcastle Books
Description: Internationally renowned, David Lynch is America`s premier purveyor of the surreal, an artist whose work in cinema and television has exposed the world to his highly personalized view of society. Examining Lynch`s entire body of work - from the cult surrealism of his debut feature Eraserhead to his latest mystery Inland Empire - this book considers the themes, motifs, and stories behind his incredible works. In Lynch`s world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost, redemption gained at a terrible price, and where there`s always music in the air. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of Lost Highway or the sedate determination of The Straight Story, readers will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants and dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pie, and damn fine coffee.

David Mamet`s Oleanna (Modern Theatre Guides)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents an accessible, informative and critical introduction to Mamet`s modern college classic, `Oleanna`. David Mamet is widely considered the voice of contemporary American Theatre. His use of what is taken to be realistic language together with minimalist staging creates a postmodern combination which simultaneously pushes an audience in conflicting directions. The result is that initial audiences for `Oleanna` were aroused to applaud and loudly react to the ending of the play when a male teacher beats a female student. The issues the play raises about political correctness are turned on their head.`Oleanna` is a particularly complex play in terms of both form and content and this guide offers a theoretically informed introductory analysis. It provides students with a comprehensive critical introduction to the play and includes new interpretations of the play text in light of Mamet`s recent playwriting developments and the intervening shifts in the political… [detailed...]

David Milne: An Introduction to His Life and Art

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA richly illustrated biography of a fascinating artist. David Milne (1882-1953) experienced life as an artist in turn-of-the-century New York, as a soldier in World War I, and as a contemporary of the Group of Seven in Canada. This book traces the gifted painter`s development over the course of tumultuous personal and historical events. Milne enjoyed early success, and five of his works were exhibited at the landmark Armory Show of 1913 in New York, alongside paintings by Monet, Duchamp, Matisse and Van Gogh. He was, according to America`s foremost art critic, Clement Greenberg, among the three greatest artists of their generation in North America. His highly original paintings from his early career earned him critical acclaim, and at age 65 he was still considered, by curators and other artists, as Canada`s most innovative artist.

David Niven: The Man Behind the Balloon

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: David Niven appeared in films for over 50 years of his life, from swashbucklers such as The Prisoner of Zenda to playing the part of the `bogus gentleman` (which, he claimed, was his only acting talent) in Paper Tiger. Despite his on-screen persona, Niven would later admit that he wasn`t always the perfect gentleman. He was insecure both privately and professionally. He used people for his own ends, which was something he learned in Hollywood, but he did, he said, `at least try to be a decent man.` He knew he often failed, although it isn`t easy to find people who ever had a bad word to say about him. In this fascinating biography of the star, Munn looks at the funny stories and the sad underlying truth, from his outrageous days with Errol Flynn and their irrevocable split -`You always know where you are with Flynn. He always lets you down` - and affairs with stars such as Ava Gardner, to admissions of infidelity, an attempted suicide and the breakdown and blame of his second… [detailed...]

David Plowden: The American Barn

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA tribute to the barn by the master documentarian of our time. As an elemental part of our landscape and our history, barns evoke childhood memories for many of us, recollections of a simpler way of life. Regardless of their size or shape, their forms follow their functions. They are honest. They are beautiful. And they are rapidly vanishing. Across the land we see abandoned farms with barns falling down, being torn down, and only occasionally being converted to other uses. As urban sprawl eats up the countryside and food-producing Goliaths put small farmers out of business, the need for old barns has diminished. For most of his life as a photographer, David Plowden has admired and photographed barns. In recent years, as their disappearance accelerated, he made it his mission to document these beautiful structures, before they too are lost. The result is this beautiful book, his hymn to the American barn. 130 duotone photographs. [detailed...]

David Robbins: Ice Cream Social

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAfter David Robbins achieved art-world success with his exhibition Talent in 1986, in which he reimagined Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, and Richard Prince as entertainers, he became disenchanted with the New York scene and returned tohis hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There, he began to pursue performance art and dot painting in the context of the small-town tradition of the ice-cream social. The first social was held at a local Baskin-Robbins. For it, the artist used the company`s trademark pink and brown logo colors in his work.. Over the following decade, he expanded the project into live events in other cities (complete with free ice cream), a TV pilot, and a feature movie script. These derivations, together with digital designs presented here and a novella from 1998, map the full extent of this idiosyncratic exhibition model, in which Robbins seeks to extend `art context attitudes` and experimentation into the mainstream. A pioneer in this regard, he has… [detailed...]

Description: In February 1991, the artist David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) and the philosopher SylvA?re Lotringer met in a borrowed East Village apartment to conduct a long-awaited dialogue on Wojnarowicz`s work. Wojnarowicz was then at the peak of his notoriety as the fiercest antagonist of morals crusader Senator Jesse Helms--a notoriety that Wojnarowicz alternately embraced and rejected. Already suffering the last stages of AIDS, David saw his dialogue with Lotringer as a chance to set the record straight on his aspirations, his personal history, and his political views. The two arranged to have this three-hour dialogue video-recorded by a mutual friend, the artist Marion Scemama. Lotringer held on to the tape for a long time. After Wojnarowicz`s death the following year, he found the transcript enormously moving, yet somehow incomplete. David was trying, often with heartbreaking eloquence, to define not just his career but its position in time. The subject was huge, and transcended… [detailed...]
