Sean Scully - Sculpture by SEAN. SCULLY,Clare Lilley,Jon Wood,Kirsten Claudia Voigt Pdf

Sean Scully's abstract paintings are world-famous. In them he moves far beyond a purely formal confrontation with color, form, plane, and light by also incorporating his attitudes to-ward art, society, ethics, and metaphysics. To date, however, little attention has been paid to the fact that he also creates sculptures. For these, Scully layers elements made of steel, stone, bronze, and painted aluminum on top of each other, creating horizontal structures that expand upward, yet are also linked to the stripes in his paintings. This monograph is now the first to compile Scully's important sculptures in a sin-gle volume. Besides numerous pictures, it also contains exten-sive essays about his work.

Sean Scully by Sean Scully,Manchester City Art Gallery Pdf

Sean Scully is one of the foremost abstract artists of contempoary art. This book provides reproductions of his huge oil paintings from the period 1982-1996. These paintings are reminiscent of the shades and geometric shapes of traditional Moroccan carpets. Scully stated after a visit to Morocco that he was moved ....by the way carpets lay around partially covering each other in stores. The book vibrates with bold arrangements of stripes in Scully's trademark glowing colours of ochre, ivory, deep red and black.

Abstract Painting, Art History and Politics: Sean Scully and David Carrier in Conversation by Anonim Pdf

The acclaimed Irish American abstractionist discusses his artistic influences and philosophy with a leading aesthetic thinker In this volume, Irish American painter Sean Scully (born 1945) meets with American philosopher and art critic David Carrier for a series of in-depth interviews on the nature of art and the artist's relationship to his own work. An early job loading trucks at a cardboard factory inspired the stacked rectangle symbolism that would become the hallmark of his career; travels to Venice also greatly influenced his use of textured brushstrokes to evoke movement and flow even within carefully structured geometric patterns. Carrier probes these central elements of Scully's art along with many more questions about art history and Scully's own position within it. The assembling of such personal insights results in a book that functions as both a collection of compelling dialogues and an autobiography of Scully. Readers are able to discover Scully's art anew through his answers to Carrier's incisive questions.

Inner by Sean Scully Pdf

Sean Scully is among the greatest abstract painters of our age. He is also one of the most outspoken. Since the late 1960s, Scully's visual expressiveness has been matched by a verbal dynamism that is no less arresting than his art. Varying widely in form from brief reflections of compressed eloquence to essay-long meditations on artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Giorgio Morandi and Mark Rothko, Scully's writings are distinguished by a brutal lyricism and the effortlessness of their aphoristic turn of phrase. At once biographical and political, poignant and unflinching, the nearly 200 texts that comprise Inner: The Collected Writings and Selected Interviews of Sean Scully provide a unique perspective on one of the most engaging artistic imaginations of the past half century. Here, readers will discover the effusions of a mind tirelessly wrestling with the profoundest issues of art, cultural history, and what it means to be a creator in the contemporary world. The volume will be accompanied by key images illustrating Scully's words as well as facsimile reproductions of handwritten pages by the artist into which drawings have been integrated.

Sean Scully by Kelly Grovier,Ben Luke Pdf

Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1945, Sean Scully has gained international prominence as one of the most admired contemporary abstract painters today. Fusing the traditions of European painting with the distinct character of American abstraction, Scully's great achievement is the reinvigoration of abstract painting with the metaphorical, the philosophical and the sublime combined with the earthy tangibility of paint. From his precisely gridded works of the 1970s to the three-dimensional panels of the 1980s and his now celebrated Wall of Light paintings from the 1990s, this volume gathers the entire oeuvre of the artist, whose work is held in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The National Gallery of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth; and the Tate, London. Elected a Royal Academician in 2013, Scully has been shortlisted for the Turner Prize twice, in 1989 and in 1993. He lives and works in New York, Barcelona, and Munich.

Sean Scully. Human. Ediz. A Colori by Carmelo Grasso,Abate Norberto Villa,Javier Molins Pdf

A monograph dedicated to the great Irish-American artist and to Human, his new exhibition project for San Giorgio Maggiore Abbey in Venice."My work is an attempt to release the spirit"Sean ScullyPublished on the occasion of the exhibition in the historic church of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, the volume gathers recent works and new, unseen pieces by the celebrated abstract artist who has created a series of new sculptures, paintings, drawings, and watercolour works directly inspired by the monks' Abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, by their vast illuminated manuscript collections and by the 16th-century Benedictine church. Works instantly recognisable by Scully's visual vocabulary of horizontal and vertical stripes, which reflects fifty years of constant refining.The fulcrum of the catalogue is the new and impressive Opulent Ascension, a site-specific sculpture over ten meters high, constructed from stacked frames, each wrapped in rich and varying colours of felt: the different colours visually suggest the steps of a monumental, ascending ladder leading the eye and spirit heavenwards and revealing the genius of the artist, always able to surprise us with new stylistic formulas and symbolic references. A soaring, charismatic work that catalyses the observer, leading him to the fulcrum of the artist's creative idea and which embodies Scully's conviction that his work can serve as a conduit between the physical world we can see and a transcendent one to which the soul aspires.

Sean Scully by Sean Scully,Danilo Eccher Pdf

A complete retrospective of Sean Scully's work in all media, from the early 1970s to the present, published to accompany a European exhibition tour. "If there is such a thing as an 'advance' in transcendental abstraction...then Scully's paintings, simultaneously gestural and geometrical, are that advance. They breathe new spiritual life and subtlety into transcendental abstraction, showing that it not only remains possible and viable, but that it is necessary in these spiritually dark art times."-Donald Kuspit Over more than thirty years, Sean Scully has produced a vibrant, compelling, and constantly inventive body of work that is widely collected and internationally exhibited. His familiar signature style of lines or bands of color alluding to architectural elements such as portals, windows, and walls is instantly recognizable. His recent "Walls of Light" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art drew almost 100,000 visitors and received widespread critical acclaim. Published to accompany a major European exhibition tour,Sean Scullyincludes work in all media-painting, photographs, prints, drawings, and watercolors-from the early 1970s to the present, the only book to cover his entire career to date. Texts by respected curators Maris Lluïsa Borràs, Danilo Eccher, Lorand Hegyi, and award-winning American critic and art historian Donald Kuspit position the artist in his rightful place within the traditions of twentieth-century abstraction, while discussing the spiritual, emotional, and very human nature of his art. 158 illustrations, 133 in color.

Sean Scully by Sean Scully,Tiffany Bell Pdf

Throughout his critically acclaimed 30-year career, Irish-American artist Sean Scully has invigorated abstract painting with an enduring investigation of its ability to convey universal truths about the human condition. Both recalling and demystifying Modernist traditions, Scully employs a deceptively reductive vocabulary ¿ horizontal and vertical bands of colour and the interplay of light and shadow draw in and envelop the viewer. In the contrasts between colours whose boundaries meet with precision and restraint, Scully communicates a duality of harmony and fracture, mirroring the vulnerability of human relationships. This superbly illustrated volume brings together a collection of 22 of Scully¿s recent oil paintings ¿ including works from the `Wall of Light¿ and `Robe¿ series ¿ alongside a number of watercolours and drawings, subtle compositions that both complement and underscore the larger works.
