Artistic Capital

2006 y.
Publisher: Routledge, Taylor &, Francis
Description: At what stage of their careers do great artists produce their most important work? In a series of studies that bring new insights and new dimensions to the study of artistic creativity, Artistic Capital examines the careers of more than 100 modern painters, poets, and novelists to reveal a powerful relationship between age and artistic creativity. David W.Galenson`s analysis of the careers of major painters such as Cezanne, van Gogh, Picasso, Pollock and Warhol, important novelists such as Dickens, Woolf, Joyce and Hemingway, and key poets such as Frost, Eliot, Lowell and Plath, reveals the two very different methods by which artists have made innovations. Remarkably, each method is associated with a distinctive pattern of discovery over the life cycle. The book`s use of simple but powerful quantitative analysis permits systematic generalization about large numbers of artists. Pointing to a new and richer history of the modern arts, `Artistic Capital` will be of… [detailed...]

Artists Experiencing Immigration: How We View Our Artistic Expression in the Context of Dramatic Change

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Feeling at home in today?s rapidly changing world is a project rather than a given. More and more individuals, even entire communities must leave behind their familiar environments. Within this context, displacement can be interpreted as an identity crisis, one which puts into question, and at times suspends, the possibility of telling a coherent story thus allowing the storyteller to be a powerful, creative agent. The guiding questions of this book relate notions of identity, displacement and art. As artists, what are our particular ways of addressing the issue of identity in the context of immigration? What are our strategies of relocation? What are the implications for art education? To answer these questions the author gathered and analyzed the life narratives of three recent immigrant women who use art to express themselves. Included in this analysis are reflections related to the author?s immigration from native Romania to Canada. Focusing on the artists? accounts, the book… [detailed...]

And right now there is much concern with this change.` David Carrier, Champney Family Professor, Case Western Reserve University/ Cleveland Institute of Art. `I find this book to be fascinating and thought-provoking material. I also know from my own experiences that many faculty have been thinking (and worrying) about the idea of the Ph.D.` Andrew E.

Description: For six years, Jason Schmidt has traveled all over the world, to biennials, fairs, far-flung locations and home studios, photographing artists in their natural environments. This, his first book, is an intimate glimpse into the creative processes of some of his most important and exciting colleagues, accompanied by texts in their own words. Schmidt, whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Harper`s Bazaar and The New Yorker, makes no pretense of forging a coherent international contemporary art scene--he`s more interested in cataloguing its heterogeneity. His subjects include painters (Laura Owens, Luc Tuymans), photographers (Thomas Demand, Philip-Lorca diCorcia), video artists (Doug Aitken, Bill Viola), sculptors (Liz Larner, Marc Quinn), installation artists (Maurizio Cattelan, Gregor Schneider) and those who defy the categorical imperative of medium (Sophie Calle, Paul McCarthy).
