Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This retrospective catalogue presents the first comprehensive resource on Syd Carpenter (b. 1953), a nationally recognized Philadelphia-based ceramic artistSyd Carpenter (b. 1953) is a nationally recognized, Philadelphia-based ceramic artist whose work gives sculptural form to African American farming and gardening traditions. Drawing inspiration from farms, gardens, and the tools and landscapes that sustain them, she transforms clay into abstracted, biomorphic structures that evoke both the natural world and the histories of the people who have shaped it. Carpenter's art honors the resilience of African American agricultural communities while also advancing the expressive possibilities of ceramics, situating her practice at the intersection of craft, cultural memory, and environmental consciousness.This retrospective catalogue, accompanying the first major survey of Carpenter's career, presents the full scope of her achievement. Featuring more than one hundred color reproductions of ceramic sculptures as well as garden projects, it documents the evolution of her visual language over four decades. Essays by leading scholars explore Carpenter's engagement with African American material culture, the legacies of land stewardship, and the broader histories of contemporary craft and sculpture, including Carpenter's mutually supportive relationships within a network of Black and women artists. The volume provides the first comprehensive resource on Carpenter's art, establishing her significance as a major voice in American ceramics and illuminating the enduring cultural resonances of her vision. Retrospective catalogue highlighting a Philadelphia ceramic artist who transforms clay into organic, biomorphic structures inspired by African American farming traditions and resilient landscapes. Spanning four decades, the work is illustrated through vivid images and essays that explore cultural memory and environmental insight.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Color-illustrated celery wraps. 32 pp. with 24 color illus. and numerous bw photos and illus. Making a Big Impressionism marks the first major exhibition of the work of Raymond Theel (1891?1952). A relatively obscure artist, Theel painted large-scale, impressionistic landscapes of his hometown in Jarrettown, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding area. Tragically, a fire in 1943 destroyed most of his work. Woodmere?s exhibition is a rare opportunity to see the artist?s surviving paintings. Expressive experiments with color, line, and perspective characterize his large depictions of wooded areas. This catalogue is the first publication to present and analyze Theel?s accomplishments. In addition to a detailed artist chronology, the catalogue will reproduce a majority of the known paintings by this enigmatic artist. From the exhibition of July to November 2015.…

Softcover. Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps. 83 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm. George Biddle (18851973) was a leading American artist whose work engaged with the human condition, in particular the social injustices he encountered in his journeys across the United States and abroad. He served in World War I, was an artist correspondent for Life magazine in World War II, attended the Nuremberg trials, and participated in various federal committees that shaped the politics of twentieth-century American art. Once a schoolmate of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Biddle helped form the mural project of the Works Project Administration. Biddle himself created murals for the U.S. Department of Justice Building in Washington, DC, and, as part of an official effort to promote Pan-American progress and cooperation, for the National Library in Rio de Janeiro and the Supreme Court in Mexico City. This exhibition includes some seventy works that explore Biddle's creative engagement with a full spectrum of social change during his lifetime: the cultural resonances of both World Wars, the Russian Revolution, the executions of anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, the Great Depression, the Holocaust, and white supremacy. Biddle was ahead of his time in addressing issues of race, exploitation, and social class, and was a lifelong advocate of the arts as a healing force for a turbulent planet. A prolific author, he argued with figures such as Alfred Barr of New York's Museum of Modern Art, who championed an understanding of modernism in the arts as divorced from socially committed subjects. The exhibition will also showcase important works by Biddle that are recent gifts from his family to Woodmere. VG. Light edge wear, otherwise clean and unmarked.…
