This is the first monograph on the Californian pop artist in more than thirty years, with a representative selection of works from 1957 to 2014. Billy Al Bengston is the very personification of the cheerful, carefree attitude towards life in California--in both his work and his personal life. After studying at the California College of Arts and Crafts and the Otis Art Institute, he exhibited at the legendary Ferus Gallery in 1957 and was the central figure among a group of artists that included Frank Gehry, Edward Kienholz, Ed Ruscha, and Ken Price. BAB, as he apostrophizes himself, inserts car and motorcycle parts as motifs into his otherwise abstract paintings. He uses lacquer and spray paint instead of oil and aluminum panels with dented surfaces instead of the traditional canvas. Art and lifestyle combine to create the individual "Bengston iconography" of California Cool.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Erste Monografie des kalifornischen Pop-Art-Künstlers seit über 30 Jahren mit einer repräsentativen Auswahl seines Schaffens von 1957 bis 2014Billy Al Bengston steht für das heitere, unbekümmerte Lebensgefühl Kaliforniens - mit seinem Werk ebenso wie seiner Person als ehemaliger Surfer und Motorradrennfahrer, extravaganter Künstler und zentraler Figur der West Coast Pop Art.Nach Studien am California College of Arts and Crafts und Otis Art Institute stellte er bereits 1957 in der legendären Ferus Gallery aus und war Mittelpunkt einer Künstlergruppe, zu der auch Frank Gehry, Edward Kienholz, Ed Ruscha und Ken Price gehörten.BAB, wie er sich selbst apostrophiert, fügt Auto- und Motorradteile als Motive in seine ansonsten abstrakten Bilder ein, benutzt statt Ölfarbe Lack und Sprühdose und statt der traditionellen Leinwand Aluminiumplatten mit zuweilen eingedellter Oberfläche. Kunstschaffen und Lebensstil verbinden sich zur individuellen 'Bengston-Ikonografie' des California Cool. Seller Inventory # 9783947563395
