Frank Stella: Paintings 1958 to 1965 : A Catalogue Raisonne

Book Description

For Frank Stella, 1958 was a crucial year. After graduating from Princeton University, he moved to Manhattan and painted a series of monumental, colorful canvases that culminated in the first of his famous “black paintings.” This fascinating book focuses on the thirty works he painted that year. The paintings reflect his transformation from a student experimenting with abstract expressionism to a highly original artist whose works changed the course of postwar art.

Presenting the entire series of paintings in color for the first time (except lost works known only through black-and-white photographs), this handsome book details the course of Stella’s career in 1958. The authors situate his work in relation to that of Carl Andre, with whom Stella shared studio space that year, and Jasper Johns. Their analysis draws on concepts of originality, repetition, assemblage, and opticality.

Drawing on new archival findings, firsthand observations of the paintings, and interviews with Stella and members of his circle, this volume enriches our understanding of a fascinating and critical stage in the artist’s development.

Frank Stella's grand concept.......2007-02-07

Frank Stella started out as a painter who painted directly onto the projected canvas and this book clarifies the many, complex reasons Stella chose his signature style. The horizontal and vertical bars seen in his luxurious paintings are as relevant today as they were back in 1958. A desirable book for anyone who is learning about the history of Minimalism--a movement in which many people believe Stella played a big part.

STELLAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-04-05

1958 was an incredible year in Art History. Frank Stella knows no bounds and is endlessly fascinating. Harry Cooper and Megan Luke get it completely.
Bravos and Brava.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting Baseball Read.......2007-05-13

Author Bob Vanderberg recounts the exciting Chicago White Sox - New York Yankees rivalry from 1951-1964. Readers learn about each of these exciting years, including detailed descriptions of each season's most nail-biting games. We sense the rivalry's tension from these pages, even if the ending was usually the same un-thrilling story. As many know, the Yankees won every pennant but two from 1949-1964, with only Cleveland and Chicago as consistent challengers. Strong pitching often had the White Sox in first place until August, but they usually faded down the stretch. Why? Chicago's batting order typically had two good hitters (Minnie Minoso, Nellie Fox) and was thus no match for powerful Yankee lineups of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Moose Skowron, Hank Bauer, Elston Howard, etc. When Chicago finally won the pennant in 1959 (their first in 40 years) they edged out Cleveland; the Yankees had an uncharacteristic off year.

This book provides an interesting and readable look at this tense but uneven rivalry. Older fans will recall many of the games and details, while younger readers get a nice sense of baseball from decades past.

YANKEE HATERS UNITE!.......1999-10-28

BEING A DIEHARD CLEVELAND INDIANS FAN MEANS I AM GENETICALLY PROGRAMMED TO LOATHE THE YANKEES.ANY TEAM THAT GAVE OR GIVES THEM THE TROUBLE THE 1951-1964 CHICAGO WHITE SOX DID IS AOK IN MY BOOK. THE AUTHOR MUST RECEIVE KUDOS FOR THE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH HE MUST HAVE COMPLETED FOR THIS BOOK. IT IS STATISTICAL WONDERLAND FOR US BASEBALL JUNKIES AND A PAGE TURNER FOR ALL THAT ENJOY A GOOD YARN.

Product Description

Legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Hubert Sumlin, T-Bone Walker, Johnnie Winter, Albert King, Freddie King, and Chuck Berry are known to all blues fans for their remarkable soloing abilities. But the complete blues guitarist must do more than shine in the solo spotlight. And that is why every great soloist is also a great fill-in player. Tasteful fill-in licks support and inspire the singer while adding fire and drive to the performance. For example, Blind Lemon Jeffersons string-snapping fill-ins provided the perfect complement for his rough-hewn blues songs. Both Louis Armstrong and Lester Young seemed to talk to the singer with their finely-crafted, jazzy fill-ins. And Henry Sunflower Vestines stinging, buzzsaw fill-ins never failed to drive his Canned Heat bandmates into a psychedelic frenzy. This book is accompanied by a user-friendly split-track CD allows you to sit in with a professional blues band while you learn to play blues fills behind a great singer, Charles Adkins. The Heat-Seeking Missile Blues Band is heard on the left channel; the fill-in licks are isolated on the right channel. This is not just another book of abstract how do I use these licks in real life? licks, but a collection of solid musical ideas that can be applied to thousands of real songs. Another fine contribution from Red Dog Music Books, designed for the early intermediate-to intermediate guitarist. Some of the licks are accessible to highly motivated near-beginners, and the book is an excellent resource for teachers.

Product Description

This superb Red Dog Music Book and CD allows you to learn/play slide guitar fill-ins while sitting in with a crisply recorded blues band and singer. The licks are clearly written in standard notation and tablature, and the companion CD contains all 101 licks, which are applicable to countless blues songs. A guide to symbols and several helpful fretboard diagrams are included. The licks are recorded on electric guitar but can also be played on acoustic. Overall, a very fine book that will provide unlimited learning and enjoyment. Many slide guitar books are confusing because they try to cover too many tunings. Everything here is in open E. Songs include standards such as Joe Turner Blues, St. Louis Blues, Sportin Life Blues, House of the Rising Sun, Midnight Special, along with several new songs written to standard blues changes. Like Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutton, and Elmore James? Then you will like this book.

Book Description

There is just something magical about the thought of the ocean breeze blowing past billowing sails, the feel of strong wood beneath one’s feet, and the gentle roll and pitch of the waves as your ship cuts across them in search of fame and fortune. The adventurous, often romantic image of the pirate is a part of our collective psyches, handed to us from historical figures like Redbeard and Sir Francis Drake and the many corsairs and villains that have plied the seas of our imagination. There is something primal about the freedom and untempered bravado pirates possess that inspires us to place them over and over again in song and story. From a role playing standpoint, pirates are a wonderful addition to our games. They are fierce, self-reliant characters with a crew of men willing to do their bidding, a ship to call their home that grants them the ultimate mobility to travel as they wish, and a licence to do as they please lest someone do it to them first. With pirates come the brotherhood and code of the sea, a form of unwritten law that create a grand backdrop for adventures of buccaneering and bounty-chasing. Hoist the main sails and batten down the hatches; there’s glory to be had, me mates!
