这是一本有趣的书,由伦纳德·津古哈鲁·福吉塔(Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita)在1934年与妻子马德琳·莱奎克斯(Madeleine Lequeux)和他们的朋友爱德华多·德·阿尔泰加(Eduardo de Arteaga)在日本旅行期间创作,当时他还没有出版过彩色绘画作品,画家Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita为他的朋友和旅伴Eduardo de Arteaga制作了一本迷人的彩色画册。福吉塔、爱德华多和福吉塔的妻子马德琳·莱奎克斯一起前往神户、京都和众所周知的宫岛岛(Miyajima)岛。这本书再现了令人愉快的和以前未出版的素描福吉塔为那次旅行,并叙述了旅程的故事。
A contemporary master abstractionist responds to a Venetian Renaissance masterpiece
This generous volume gathers recent works and new, unseen pieces by celebrated New York–based Irish abstract artist Sean Scully (born 1945), who has created a series of new sculptures, paintings, drawings and watercolors directly inspired by the Venetian abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, its vast illuminated manuscript collections and the 16th-century Benedictine church. These works are instantly recognizable for Scully’s visual vocabulary of horizontal and vertical stripes, which reflects fifty years of constant refining. Human includes paintings from his Madonna series, Scully’s return to figuration after having ceased figurative painting five decades ago.
The fulcrum of the volume is the new and impressive Opulent Ascension, a site-specific sculpture that is Scully’s tallest sculpture ever at 33 feet high, constructed from stacked frames, each wrapped in rich and varying colors of felt.
