Late works from the abstract painter devoted to pictorial disruption and vivacious color workDC-based painter Sam Gilliam (1933-2022) paved a distinct course through abstraction by way of tireless formal, material and tonal experimentation. During the late 1960s, Gilliam advanced the processes and aesthetics employed by the Color Field painters while radically disrupting the Greenbergian ideal of the contained picture plane. This robust period of output yielded his canonical Beveled-edge and Drape series, which he spent decades elaborating upon.Sam Gilliam: The Last Five Years presents a suite of works created by the late artist in the final years of his life, encompassing arresting variations on his iconic tondos, drapes and beveled-edge paintings. Replete with photographs and foldouts as well as an essay by acclaimed art historian Lowery Stokes Sims, this volume offers an all-encompassing look at Gilliam's dynamic, vibrant compositions.

Lær at male med gouachemaling og fordyb dig i malerkunstens enkle teknikker i denne smukke bog, der henvender sig til alle begyndere. Gouache kan på mange måder minde om akvarel, men til forskel er gouachemaling dækkende, hvor akvarelmaling er transparent. Når malingen er dækkende, bliver det lettere at overmale og rette fejl. Gouache tørrer hurtigt, men den indtørrede farve kan opløses igen med vand. Du kan lagdele det, male på mørke baggrunde og meget mere. Gouache er meget nemt at bruge. Det er tilgivende, sjovt og også alsidigt. Du kan bruge den til at male store, glatte, flade blokke med baggrundsfarve og de fineste linjer og detaljer. Før akrylmalingen var gouachemaling det populære alternativ til oliemaling. I starten af bogen lærer du de grundlæggende teknikker og får en grundig gennemgang af, hvilke værktøjer og materialer du skal bruge. Undervejs lærer du også om farveteori, farveblanding, skitsering, vaske, stregarbejde, overlejring, arbejde på mørke baggrunde, hvordan du får sprøde kanter, hvordan du tilføjer detaljer, forskellige tilgange til collage, og endda hvordan du digitalisere dit arbejde, så du kan lave gentagelsesmønstre og brugerdefinerede print. I kapitlet med projekter får du selvfølgelig en grundig vejledning i, hvordan du trin for trin kan male de forskellige motiver. Projekterne varierer fra smukke fugle, planter, geometriske mønstre samt dyr og insekter. Her er noget for enhver smag.
