‎Niki de Saint Phalle. The sketchbooks.‎

‎<p><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8"><span>Une collection richement illustrée de dessins inédits de la célèbre artiste moderne. L’artiste franco-américaine Niki de Saint Phalle est surtout connue pour ses Nanas, sculptures monumentales aux couleurs vives et joyeuses représentant des figures féminines semblables à des déesses. Mais son œuvre, fondée sur ses convictions visionnaires en matière d’expérimenta- tion sociale et de liberté personnelle, s’est étendue à bien d’autres domaines : peinture, cinéma, architecture, livres, décors de théâtre, vêtements et bijoux. Niki de Saint Phalle : The Sketchbooks présente une magnifique collection de dessins inédits, de notes et d’autres travaux préparatoires tirés des carnets de croquis privés de Saint Phalle. Tirés d’une vaste archive de documents iné- dits, ces dessins jettent un nouvel éclairage sur la fascinante évolution artistique, le style et la vie intérieure de Niki de Saint Phalle.</span></p> Neuf Princeton University Press 192 p., relié. 21,9 x 28‎

‎Jean-Michel Basquiat. Composition. The Notebooks.‎

‎<p><meta charset="utf-8"><span>A facsimile edition of the artist's fascinating working notebooks.</span></p><p><meta charset="utf-8"><span>Brooklyn-born Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) was one of the most important artists of the 1980s. A key figure in the New York art scene, he inventively explored the interplay between words and images throughout his career, first as a member of SAMO, a graffiti group active on the Lower East Side in the late 1970s, and then as a painter acclaimed for his unmistakable Neoexpressionist style. From 1980 to 1987, he filled numerous working notebooks with drawings and handwritten texts. This facsimile edition reproduces the pages of eight of these fascinating and rarely seen notebooks for the first time.</span><br><br><span>The notebooks are filled with images and words that recur in Basquiat’s paintings and other works. Iconic drawings and pictograms of crowns, teepees, and hatch-marked hearts share space with handwritten texts, including notes, observations, and poems that often touch on culture, race, class, and life in New York. Like his other work, the notebooks vividly demonstrate Basquiat’s deep interests in comic, street, and pop art, hip-hop, politics, and the ephemera of urban life. They also provide an intimate look at the working process of one of the most creative forces in contemporary American art.</span></p> new-York, 2015 Princeton / No More Rulers 304 p. 19,4 x 24,6‎
