Gorgeous
16 April 2004
Format:Hardcover
I saw this exhibit and think of it often. The only memento I have is this catalog and I'm so glad I do. The earliest paintings have such a modern feel to them that it's hard to believe they were painted while Shakespeare was still writing. Glad I don't have to spend $250 for it.

this is the point of still life
2 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
Spanish Still Life is the catalogue that accompanied a National Gallery, London, exhibition of 1995. To be honest, I've mostly skipped the text in favor of dropping my jaw (check out Juan Sanchez Cotan) in response to the images, which prove how important and radical a genre still life was from 1600 through Goya (1746-1828). There is plenty here to fuel the fires of romantics, painters, photographers, logicians, dreamers, minimalists, environmentalists, animal activists, and those enamored with the domestic sphere. Still life, in this age, was not humble. It was intimate, political, religious, intellectual and incredibly visceral. I missed the show, but I have the book. Small comfort, perhaps, yet I would rescue this book from a burning house.
