Analysing many key works, from Hippolyte Bayards 1840 self-depiction as a suicide by drowning to Man Rays 1923 portrait of Marcel Duchamp posing as his alter ego, Rrose Selavy, Cindy Shermans Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s, and Yinka Shonibares 1998 Diary of a Victorian Dandy, it traces the genre from its mid-nineteenth-century origins to the present day. Illustrated throughout with works ranging from the earliest salted paper prints and daguerreotypes to todays digitally manipulated images, Acting the Part is an authoritative survey of this enduring and highly creative branch of photography. It makes an argument for the importance of the staged photograph within the history of the medium and demonstrates its intrinsic artistic value.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743362 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=672949 This book reveals the full range of William Wegmans art. Beloved by the general public for signature photographs of his troupe of weimaraners, Wegman is also an immensely important figure in the contemporary art world. A pioneer video artist, conceptualist, photographer, painter, and writer, Wegman moves fluidly among various media: from conceptual works to commissioned magazine shots; from videos shown in museums to television segments made for Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live; from artists books parodying nineteenth-century naturalist studies to childrens books revealing tongue-in-cheek portraits of town and country life; from photographic landscapes employing his canine muses to his most recent cycle of landscapes combining found scenic souvenir postcards with drawing, collage, and painting. Underlying all his creations is the light humor of funny mediating the darker human comedy of strange. Speaking to the absurdities of daily life, Wegmans work is universally appealing. William Wegman: Funney/Strange is the first retrospective volume to consider the artists entire career from the 1960s to the 2000s and is an essential book for any fan of Wegmans work.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=817203 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=681516 Americans were introduced to Impressionism by the French in the 1880s. They explored its expressive potential and debated its merits in the 1890s, and by the turn of the twentieth century, American painters had seized the style for their own. Masters of Light: Selections of American Impressionism from the Manoogian Collection accompanies an exhibition of the same name organized by Jennifer A. Bailey and Lucinda H. Gedeon for the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Included are thirty examples of American Impressionist painting by the seminal artists who redefined the movement for American audiences, including Frank W. Benson, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Williard Leroy Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, John Singer Sargent, John Henry Twachtman, and others. Featuring contributions by some of the clearest voices and leading authorities on American Impressionism, Masters of Light brings into the spotlight brilliant and rarely seen paintings while illuminating their place in the larger currents of American art history. An essay by Kevin Sharp, The Americanization of Impressionism, examines the unintentional circumstances and deliberate efforts that transformed Impressionism from an expression of the French vanguard into an international style, and eventually, into a peculiarly American enterprise.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=765761 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=765778 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=721822 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743342 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=683504 Lorna Simpson, which accompanies a major mid-career retrospective organized by the American Federation of Arts, offers a comprehensive examination of this artists remarkable achievement over a period of more than twenty years of production. The works featured include examples of the artists earliest photograph and text works, in which she introduces the basic elements of combining a figure whose body is often cropped or whose face is hidden from view with fragments of text that confound the viewers expectations of narrative and identity. Simpsons illustrious career is charted up to the present with film and video installations from 1997 to 2004, as well as the artists most recent photographs.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=640904 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=889507 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=698312 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=677231 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743363 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=667751 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=654188 In this highly original work, philatelist Lemerle has gathered more than 3,500 stamps--including a substantial number from the U.S.--and organized them thematically to showcase not only their beauty, but also their role as valuable documents of world history.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743356 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=822439 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=721838 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=891721 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=771030 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=889998 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=817221 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=765742 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743306 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=713190 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=651126 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=633538 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=672896 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=672890 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=713210 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=700011 Best in Show is the most up-to-date, comprehensive survey of the dog as shown in painting, sculpture, works on paper, and photography from the end of the sixteenth century to today.
