Synopsis
Jackson Pollock (1912 1956) was one of the most influential and provocative American artists of the twentieth century. This fully illustrated publication accompanies the first exhibition in over three decades of a crucial phase of his work, referred to as the Black Pourings. This controversial body of black enamel and oil paintings, which were exceptional in their absolute merging of colour and surface, are accompanied here by drawings that are regarded as his most important and productive as a draughtsman. A number of virtually unknown and rarely seen sculptures are also included, illuminating Pollock s experimentations with space, density and figuration. In a groundbreaking essay in 1965, art historian Michael Fried remarked that the development of the Black Pourings showed Pollock to be on the verge of an entirely new and different kind of painting ... of virtually limitless potential . Produced between 1951 and 1953, during a personally difficult period in his life, these works signalled a major change in direction in Pollock s oeuvre, away from his iconic style. This shift was a deliberate move away from his defining drip technique to a new pour , anticipating the arrival of post-painterly abstraction in the late 1950s and early 1960s. As well as a new appraisal of the Black Pourings by Michael Fried, the publication includes essays by Jo Applin, Gavin Delahunty, and Stephanie Straine discussing the paintings, drawings and sculptures.

Jackson Pollock: Blindspots (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This large-format overview of the work of John Heartfield draws on the superlative collections of the Academie der Kunst, Berlin, and the David King collection at Tate Modern. Born in Berlin in 1891, Heartfield, along with George Grosz, is widely considered to have invented photomontage, a technique of cutting up and manipulating photographs. During the 1930s Heartfield's engagement with this medium produced some of the most visually arresting and politically hard-hitting artwork of the twentieth century, appropriating the widely-circulated propaganda of the time to create its total antithesis. John Heartfield began his career as a graphic designer for his brother's legendary publishing house Malik Verlag, at which time he also joined the German Communist Party for whom he created many satirical posters. However, his pre-eminence in photomontage was confirmed by the work he produced for the Communist weekly AIZ and Volks Illustrierte, creating 237 photomontages between 1930 and 1937. In his own words, he used 'laughter as a devastating weapon' to target the Nazi regime of violence and demagogy, but this in turn made he himself a target for Nazi scorn and censorship. In 1933 much of his work was destroyed when the Gestapo ransacked his studio, and the ensuing years saw him flee in exile around Europe where he continued to produce his brilliantly terrifying images. With an essay written by the author in his own inimitable style, the book includes over 150 full-colour reproductions of Heartfield's beautiful and powerful work, both in its original and printed forms, as well as documentary photographs and recollections from Heartfield's surviving family members. This large-format overview of the work of John Heartfield draws on the superlative collections of the Academie der Kunst, Berlin, and the David King collection at Tate Modern.
