Before the rise of Pop Art proper, Alex Katz developed an iconic style of figurative painting in the early 1960s- influenced by film, television, and billboard advertising. Seemingly detached and incredibly stylish, he created portraits of the New York scene as well as idyllic landscapes. Printmaking plays an equally central role in Katz's work. He uses lithographs, etchings, silkscreens, woodcuts and linocuts to reproduce, reflect and further reduce his bold aesthetic, while retaining the radiant color characteristic for his paintings. Since the first edition in 2011, Katz has almost doubled his output of prints-this timely new edition includes his complete prints, cutout editions, artists' books, and also lists his works of applied art like book illustrations and public art projects. New essays and interviews with the artist give profound insights into the work of one of the foremost American artists of the present.When ALEX KATZ (*1927, New York City) began his artistic career in the 1950s, Abstract Expressionism was the reigning style. Ahead of his time, he created stylized portraits against flat, monochrome backgrounds. From 1965 onwards, he embarked on a prolific career in printmaking, exhausting all its possibilities: from traditional craftsmanship to state-of-the-art reproduction techniques.

An explosive exhibition of art by a celebrated cartoonist chronicling America's march toward right-wing authoritarianism. Museum of Degenerates invites you to a delirious display of art by one of contemporary America's most original and incendiary political cartoonists. Eli Valley's extraordinary work is a scathing indictment of the entire American polity, with a particular focus on the issues of Israel and Judaism at a time when these have moved to the center of public debate and action. In these pages, Valley tips a homburg to German expressionists such as George Grosz and Otto Dix who featured in "The Exhibition of Degenerate Art," a 1937 Munich show that sought to ridicule the work of artists critical of Hitler's fascist regime. In an aesthetic that is strikingly original, Valley also draws on early twentieth-century American Yiddish cartoons and the work of artists who created the helter-skelter exuberance of MAD comics in the 1950s. Valley's own art, accompanied here by extensive descriptions of its genesis and context, is a howl of protest against the political, cultural and media elites driving America into an authoritarian abyss. Here is anger, pure and hot, expressed in exquisite detail and, often, disturbingly funny.

Featuring many rare works and a large-scale, previously forgotten masterwork, this wide-ranging yet intimate book reintroduces readers to one of the most versatile and beloved artists of the post-war era. Romanian-born Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) had one of the most remarkable careers in American art. While renowned for the covers and drawings that appeared in The New Yorker for nearly six decades, he was equally acclaimed for the drawings, paintings, prints, collages, and sculptures he exhibited internationally in galleries and museums. Through these parallel yet integrated careers, he crafted a rich, playful and constantly evolving visual language. Known to the larger public as the creator of the iconic View of the World from 9th Avenue , Steinberg lamented being most famous as "the man who drew that poster." This beautiful volume goes a long way toward correcting that limited perception. It brings together more than eighty works in a variety of media: collage, drawings, objects, and photographs. It also features Steinberg's astonishing mural, Art Viewers, a gigantic assemblage that was shown on a single occasion in 1966. This book is structured around three essays that explore the artist's use of symbols, his fascination with fakery and imitation, his musings on identity through the theme of the mask, and the autobiographical nature of his work.

Hver ny bog og fremstilling, der med kvalitet og engagement vil føre sin læser ind i H.C. Andersens højloftede, men også komplekse kunst, er derfor velkommen. I nærværende bog har Aase Paaskesen Schmidt begivet sig ud på en rejse i Andersen, hvor hun møjsommeligt, men også med tydelig lyst har gravet dybt i Andersens egne kommentarer og motiver. Hendes arbejde bidrager til en systematisk forståelse af Andersen ved at sammen- og modstille citater, udsagn og kommentarer på en frugtbar vis, der fører til erkendelser og indsigt i digterens værksted. Aase Paaskesen Schmidt har derfor skabt et skrift, der både gavner og uddyber adgangen til Andersens kunst, men som også er læseværdig og underholdende. Dertil har Aase Paaskesen Schmidt forsynet sin omfattende fremstilling med tegninger, og tak for dem. Fra Johs. Nørregaard Frandsens forord Om forfatteren Aase Paaskesen Schmidt (f. 1950) er cand.psych. fra Aarhus Universitet 1977. Har arbejdet som psykolog fra 1977 til 2015 med områder fra klinisk voksenpsykologi til børnepsykologi. Siden 2017 har hun arbejdet som tegner, maler og forfatter. Hun har udgivet billedromanerne Himmelbanden 1-3, novellesamlingerne Skæbneportrætter og Skæve portrætter og den grafiske roman Da Atina vandt krigen.

Vanity Fair was a weekly show of Political, Social and Literary Wares which was cutting-edge and unique. Over time it became the most successful society magazine in the history of English journalism and with its combination of witty epigrams, portrait caricature and colour lithography, it provided a new interest for the English magazine genre. The colour caricatures were not initially used by its founding editor Thomas Gibson Bowles until Issue 13, when he thought a caricature might boost the fortunes of his new magazine. Benjamin Disraeli was the first, followed by his close rival William Gladstone.Vanity Fair stood ready to attack all who threatened the established social structure, controlled by the ruling elites. It was outspoken in its condemnation of the political parties, and during its 46 year existence, politicians were to account for a third of the 2352 caricatures published in the journal from 1869 to 1914. Unlike the rest of Vanity Fair, these caricatures have lived on and prospered, many falling into the hands of private collectors. This particular collection of 'mixed political wares' includes some of the key players and also rans, whose professional dealings, successful or otherwise, did not escape the scrutiny of the prophesising Jehu Junior.
