Using clear and concise language and in-depth, step-by-step demonstrations, author and renowned artist Mary Whyte guides beginning and intermediate watercolorists through the entire painting process, from selecting materials to fundamental techniques to working with models. Going beyond the practical application of techniques, Whyte helps new artists capture not just the model's physical likeness, but their unique personality and spirit. Richly illustrated, the book features Mary Whyte's vibrant empathetic watercolors and works by such masters of watercolor as Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Georgia O'Keeffe.
"From 1875 to the first years of the twentieth century, artists were drawn to the towns of Monterey, Pacific Grove, and then Carmel. Artist at Continent's End is the first in-depth examination of the importance of the Monterey Peninsula, which during this period came to epitomize California art. Beautifully illustrated with a wealth of images, including many never before published, this book tells the fascinating story of eight principal protagonists--Jules Tavernier, William Keith, Charles Rollo Peters, Arthur Mathews, Evelyn McCormick, Francis McComas, Gottardo Piazzoni, and photographer Arnold Genthe--and a host of secondary players who together established an enduring artistic legacy."--prospectus.
The Big Work is a memoir four generations in the making that explores the untold story of The Wallace Family, who lived and worked as artists and writers in Carmel, Calif., during America's most important periods of literature, fine art, journalism, and the occult.Their story unfolds by way of a typewritten draft manuscript by Kevin Wallace that was last just before his death in 1979 when he was a reporter and editorial cartoonist on the City Desk of the San Francisco Chronicle. Illuminating the family story is a 200-plus piece art collection of sketches, paintings, and illustration created by Kevin and his prodigy sister Moira, eight years his elder, who took on the San Francisco and Los Angeles art worlds by storm in the 1920s and 30s, but struggled to catch on in the art history books, despite being considered one of the most talented women muralists, painters, and portrait artists of her time. Kevin and Moira's father, Grant Wallace, is also a leading character, setting the stage for this unconventional family story. A famous writer, journalist, and War Correspondent during the turn of the century, Grant's misadventures took him around the world, participating in extraordinary moments in history from the front lines of the Russo-Japanese War, to the Australian Eucalyptus trade with his writing pal Jack London, to Ouija board séances with wealthy patrons from nearby Pebble Beach.
A leading authority on the subject presents a radically new approach to the understanding of abstract art, in this richly illustrated and persuasive history. In his fresh take on abstract art, noted art historian Pepe Karmel chronicles the movement from a global perspective, while embedding abstraction in a recognizable reality. Moving beyond the canonical terrain of abstract art, the author demonstrates how artists from around the world have used abstract imagery to express social, cultural, and spiritual experience. Karmel builds this fresh approach to abstract art around five inclusive themes: body, landscape, cosmology, architecture, and man-made signs and patterns. In the process, this history develops a series of narratives that go far beyond the established figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art. Each narrative is complemented by a number of featured abstract works, arranged in thought-provoking pairings with accompanying extended captions that provide an in-depth analysis. This wide-ranging examination incorporates work from Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America, as well as Europe and North America, through artists ranging from Wu Guanzhong, Joan Miró, Jackson Pollock, to Hilma af Klint, and Odili Donald Odita. Breaking new ground, Karmel has forged a new history of this key art movement.
