Different Like Me introduces children aged 8 to 12 years to famous, inspirational figures from the world of science, art, math, literature, philosophy and comedy. Eight-year-old Quinn, a young boy with Asperger's Syndrome, tells young readers about the achievements and characteristics of his autism heroes, from Albert Einstein, Dian Fossey and Wassily Kandinsky to Lewis Carroll, Benjamin Banneker and Julia Bowman Robinson, among others. All excel in different fields, but are united by the fact that they often found it difficult to fit in-just like Quinn.

An account of the life and work of a once-famous self-taught American artist of the 1940s, and a study of how artists go missing from public memory. The exhibition “Morris Hirshfield Rediscovered” at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, curated by the author and developed as an extension of the book, is on view from September 22, 2022 to January 27, 2023. A garment worker and slipper manufacturer with no training in art, Morris Hirshfield was never expected to make history. Against all odds, his wildly stylized paintings of female figures, often nude, animals, and landscapes became internationally known in the 1940s. Admired by Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and the French surrealists, his peak moment of visibility occurred in 1943, when the Museum of Modern Art mounted a one-man show of his work. The exhibition was widely reviewed—though mostly reviled—by the press, who jeeringly crowned Hirshfield “Master of the Two Left Feet” for his tendency to display the female body in that unorthodox fashion. After the artist’s death in 1946, his work was largely forgotten, but in Master of the Two Left Feet, art historian Richard Meyer rediscovers Hirshfield for twenty-first-century audiences, offering full-color reproductions that capture the vibrant imagination and sheer visual pleasure of Hirshfield’s paintings. The book also features a catalog of works compiled by curator Susan Davidson which provides the most comprehensive documentation of the artist’s work ever assembled. Ten years in the making, Master of the Two Left Feet presents Hirshfield’s unlikely career as a painter not only as a missing episode in the history of twentieth-century art but as a case study of the ways in which artists go missing from historical knowledge and public memory. By looking closely at Hirshfield and his milieu in 1940s Brooklyn, Meyer demonstrates how much we have yet to learn, and to see, of the visual past.

Braque Cameo by Georges Braque,Jose Maria Faerna Pdf
French painter Georges Braque (1882-1963) was one of the great artistic pioneers of the 20th century. Together with fellow artist and intimate friend Pablo Picasso, Braque is considered a founding father of Cubism, a term first used to describe the fragmented, "cubelike" forms found in many of his most innovative works. Some of Braque's more inventive techniques included mixing pigment with sand and metal filings, and creating compositions of pasted paper collage, known as papier colles.Braque offers more than 70 full-color illustrations of the artist's works, encompassing all phases of his artistic maturity and placing him at the forefront of the early 20th-century art scene.
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) est reconnu comme l'un des plus grands peintres du XXe siècle et l'une des figures majeures de l'art abstrait. Inspiré par le rythme des vagues tout autant que par l'énergie dynamique d'une ville comme New York, il offre une vision du monde personnelle et singulière. Longtemps qualifié de non-figuratif, l'art de Mondrian est largement fondé sur son observation du monde. John Milner étudie avec précision le travail de l'artiste à travers ses dessins, études et œuvres achevées, et révèle la manière dont Mondrian traduit sa sensibilité dans des peintures d'une intense simplicité. La richesse émotionnelle de l'œuvre de Mondrian réside dans la tension entre des motifs hautement colorés et des compositions audacieuses d'une part et le sujet figuratif sous-jacent de l'autre. Richement illustrée, avec plus de 125 reproductions couleur et de nombreuses photographies, l'étude de John Milner éclaire d'un jour nouveau le travail de Mondrian, mais aussi l'histoire de l'art abstrait au XXe siècle.
Pierre Mondrian compte parmi les pères fondateurs de l'art abstrait, tendance qui apparaît en Europe à partir des années 1910. Son évolution est emblématique du passage qui s'opère, au début du XXe siècle, de la peinture comme représentation d'un modèle extérieur à la peinture comme création d'un univers et d'un langage autonomes. Ce passage s'appuie sur des recherches plastiques autant que sur une pensée nourrie de théosophie ; l'atelier joue dans ce processus le rôle d'un laboratoire où sont élaborés et appliqués à petite échelle des principes destinés à transformer le monde et les individus. Au fondement de l'œuvre de Mondrian se trouvent un certain nombre de principes dont sont étudiées l'élaboration au cours de ses années d'expérimentation et l'exploration dans la période néoplastique (à partir de 1920). L'étude des œuvres oscille entre la plus grande matérialité (la facture des toiles) et la tension vers l'universel et l'essence qui forment le cœur de la quête de Mondrian. Ici, nous suivons Mondrian des Pays-Bas à New York, de la nature à la ville moderne, à travers les lieux qu'il fréquenta et peignit, les amitiés qu'il noua, les collections dans lesquelles son œuvre est représentée, enfin les réalisations architecturales liées à ses conceptions plastiques.
