Speaking in Colour : Conversations With Artists of Pacific Island Heritage

order quantity

NZ$ 14.99 each

Paperback

Author: Sean Mallon & Fuli Pereira

Published by: Te Papa Press

In Stock: 7

In this book, ten artists of Pacific Island descent talk candidly about their lives and work, and about finding themselves as artists. They also speak eloquently about coming to terms with their rich, complex cultural heritage. As one of the artists, Lyle Penisula, puts it, ‘I don’t want people to look at my work and pigeonhole it. I am proud of being a Samoan but I am not just that.’

Many of the artists also pay tribute to those who have helped them, including the New Zealand painter, Tony Fomison, and the distinguished Samoan artist Fatu Feu‘u, who have done much to support the work of young Pacific artists living in New Zealand.

Sean Mallon and Pandora Fulimalo Pereira were the first trainees of Pacifc Island descent to enter the curatorial field at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and Auckland Museums respectively. They worked together for two years on the concept team developing the Pacific exhibitions at Te Papa. ... more

Dick Frizzell's images populate our world - you find them on T-shirts, on TV ads, in shop windows, on wine bottles, on cushions and T-towels and in art shows.

He's reached iconic status in NZ - we love him, he's one of our own. This book contains all of his major paintings, the story of his life in his own thoughtful and highly articulate words, and an essay by Hamish Keith on Dick's work and its place in the New Zealand art world.

Paperback

Author: eds.

Published by: Phaidon Press Ltd

Following on from The Art Book (1994), 10,000 Years of Art provides an original and accessible way of looking at art. On its publication in 2007, "The Daily Telegraph" described it as 'a bold new publishing event that promises to redefine the parameters of art history'. In this mini format edition of the book, 500 great works of art from all periods and regions in the world have been carefully selected from the original book and are again arranged in chronological order, breaking through the usual geographical and cultural boundaries of art history to celebrate the vast range of human artistry across time and space. The book presents art in a way different from other art history compendia, revealing the diversity, or in many cases similarity, of man's artistic achievements through time and around the globe. Ordered chronologically, the resulting timeline of works leads to compelling browsing: surprising juxtapositions ... more

Andy Warhol Men

NZ$ 34.99 each

Paperback

Author: Andy Warhol

Published by: Thames & Hudson Ltd

In Stock: 2

Rarely seen and often created for his own delight, Pop artist Andy Warhol's images of men are among his most personal and sensual work. Andy Warhol Men showcases Warhol's illustrations, paintings, drawings, silkscreens, Polaroid studies and fine art photographs for the first time in this handsome and intimate volume. Mostly nudes, this gallery of delights includes the beautiful boys and drag queens who adorned Warhol's legendary Factory studio, as well as less racy illustrations of celebrated figures such as Christopher Isherwood, Truman Capote and James Dean. Warhol's perceptively funny observations are sprinkled throughout, while a preface places the work in the context of his career, and a foreword by Alan Cumming offers a witty reflection on art and desire. Andy Warhol Men is an elegant and playful celebration of male beauty.

Hundertwasser (Taschen 25th)

order quantity

NZ$ 39.99 each

Hardback

Author: Harry Rand

Published by: Taschen

In Stock: 2

Viennese-native Friedrich Stowasser (1928-2000) called himself Hundertwasser Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt. True to the colorful variety of his names, he pursued many activities as a painter, architect and ecologist, and as "one who awakens identities." This presentation of Hundertwasser's work in all of its different facets is guided by the artist's own view of himself and his purpose. And, because his work is virtually inseparable from his personal life and political activity, a vivid portrait of the artist takes shape before the reader's eyes. Excerpts from conversations between the author and the artist lend a sense of immediacy and authenticity to the narration.

The Art of Charles F Goldie

Hardback

Author: Roger Blackley

Published by: David Bateman Ltd

In Stock: 2

Winner of the Illustrative Arts Award, 1998 Montana New Zealand Books Awards.
Charles F. Goldie (1870-1947) is probably New Zealand's best-known artist. His popular fame has been fed by a stream of newspaper reports documenting record-shattering prices, thefts, vandalisms and forgeries. Descendants of Goldie's models revere the depictions of their ancestors, while others denounce his paintings as documents of colonial racism. The mystique surrounding Goldie and his works is unparalleled in New Zealand art.

Art That Moves : The Work of Len Lye (with DVD of films and sculptures)

NZ$ 59.99 each

Mixed-media pack

Author: Roger Horrocks

Published by: Auckland University Press

In Stock: 1

'Kinetic art is the first new category of art since prehistory', ex-pat New Zealand artist Len Lye boldly claimed in an essay in 1964. What did he mean by this? And how does his own work in sculpture and film bear it out? Roger Horrocks, the author of the best-selling 2001 biography of Lye, explores these questionsn in this new book. He describes the forerunners of this 'art that moves', then discusses in detail Lye's life and career as a kinetic artist, how he developed and envisioned his 'tangible motion sculptures' and how many of these are being realised only now, after his death. Lye himself wrote extensively about kinetic art; one chapter focuses on his theories about 'the art of motion', and relates these back to his practice as an artist. Horrocks concludes by discussing how Lye's ideas can be applied to other works and how they are relevant today. The Art of Motion includes a DVD containing a short documentary by ... more

Futurism

Paperback

Author: Sylvia Martin

Published by: Benedikt Taschen Verlag

Inspired by the development of Cubism, the Futurist movement was founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, and Gino Severini. The school, which celebrated technology and the mechanical era, was comprised of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and writers. Motion and machines were two main themes of this movement, which attacked the bastions of establishment and sparked controversy by its glorification of war and support of Fascism. Experimenting with movement, and speed, and abstract light and color, the Futurists developed approaches and techniques that were revolutionary at the time, and in retrospect one can see that the Futurists influenced other avant-garde art movements, most notably Russian Constructivism.

Artists featured: Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Carlo Carrà, Tullio Crali, Fortunato Depero, Gerardo Dottori, Leonardo ... more
