Literally meaning "pictures of the floating world", ukiyo-e refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in the 17th century and is practically synonymous with the Western world's visual characterization of Japan. Because they could be mass produced, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, New Year's greeting cards, single prints, and book illustrations, and traditionally they depicted city life, entertainment, beautiful women, kabuki actors, and landscapes. The influence of ukiyo-e in Europe and the USA, often referred to as Japonisme, can be seen in everything from impressionist painting to today's manga and anime illustration.Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Though he captured a variety of subjects, his greatest talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and his final masterpiece was a series known as "100 Famous ...

Lives of the Papunya Tula Artists
order quantity
A$ 99.99 each
Hardback
Author:
Vivien Johnson
Published by:
IAD Press
Lives of the Papunya Tula Artists by Vivien Johnson presents, as never before, the biographies of over 200 Western Desert painters from the world-acclaimed Papunya Tula Artists company in Alice Springs.
Established in 1972 as a co-operative of 35 painters, Papunya Tula Artists is the founding crucible of the stunning Australian desert painting movement. Today the company flourishes as a multi-million dollar Aboriginal-controlled cultural enterprise.
As art writer Nicolas Rothwell observed earlier this year, the desert paintings need to be seen as the works of “…artists with biographies, with life histories and personal challenges surrounding them.”
This book uniquely answers this call – the artists come to life as painters with distinctive personalities, family histories, imaginations and artistic trajectories.

Alice McCormick

What is it about artists and food? From the canvas to the table, the visual and culinary arts are linked by colour, texture, form and taste, and the process by which artists combine these elements is captivating and revelatory. Artists have this symbiosis, a connection between making art and making food, which make most artists as creative in the kitchen as in the studio.Writer Alice McCormick and photographer Sarah Rhodes feast with the most surprising and engaging selection of bons viveurs, and discover that at an ideal dinner party, one should dine with artists - they do it better.

Author:
John McDonald
Published by:
Pan Australia
In this first volume of a brilliant new history of Australian art, John McDonald, the highly-regarded art critic of the Sydney Morning Herald, takes us from the times of pre-history, settlement and exploration, to the end of the colonial era. In the first comprehensive overview of the field since the 1960s, McDonald reassesses the reputations of many leading artists, and links their achievements with the broader patterns of social history and ideas.
Along with in-depth discussions of major works, the narrative teems with characters and anecdotes from the era of the First Fleet to that of the Australian Impressionists. The story of Australian art is told in a more vivid and engaging style than ever before, in a lavishly illustrated book destined to take its place as the definitive work on the subject.

Hardback
Author:
John McDonald
Published by:
Public Pictures Pty Ltd
