This book presents a comprehensive view of the work of American painter Philip Taaffe (b.1955), who has expanded the parameters of painting through his use of silkscreen, linocuts, collage, stencils, gouache, chine-collé, marbling, acrylic, enamel, watercolour and gold leaf. Possessing many technical skills, Taaffe has moved decisively between unique pictorial inventions and appropriations, as well as overlaying divergent modes of representation, through cultural patterns found in ornament, and biomorphic abstraction.

John Yau's insightful text is the first to look at every part of Taaffe's artistic development, from the works he made at Cooper Union while a student of Hans Haacke, to the present. It pays special attention to Taaffe's acquisition of different techniques, as well as investigating his various sources of inspiration, which include the work of experimental filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner and Harry Smith, the Natural History illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, and the ancient art of paper marbling.

Ossip Zadkine “Whatever the apparent aim of the artist, he is called upon first to move the spectator. His predilections, his preferences, crystallise afterwards in the choice of means to interpret those natural objects; these means are always, obligingly, of imaginary essence.” - Ossip Zadkine, Artist. Ossip Zadkine was a French-Russian artist known for his figurative-Cubist sculptures. His works feature aesthetic qualities inspired by ancient African and Mediterranean art. Born on July 4, 1890 in Smolensk, Belarus, the artist emigrated to Paris at the age of 20. While studying at the ‘École des Beaux-Arts’ he discovered the work of Georges Brague and Pablo Picasso. Turning towards politically-motivated subjects following his service in the French military during World War I. Zadkine’s late sculpture ‘The Destroyed City' (1953), conveys the horrible destruction of Rotterdam by Nazi bombers. The artist had achieved considerable acclaim by his death on November 25, 1967 in Paris, France. Today, his works are in the collections of the ‘National Gallery of Art’ in Washington, D.C., the ‘Tate Gallery in London’, the ‘Museum of Modern Art’ in New York, and the ‘Los Angeles County Museum of Art’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #artist #sculptor #gouaches #worksonpaper #drawings #lithographs #etchings #regentstreetpolytechnic #cubism #romantic #pablopicasso #thedestroyedcity #musicians #birthofforms #ossipzadkine https://www.instagram.com/p/CZgvTxZMTXk/?utm_medium=tumblr
