Editorial Reviews

  • “Lippard skillfully shows the ‘primal urge’ is a core issue in ‘post-modernist’ art … it is invaluable as an insider’s synthesis capturing the consciousness of vanguard art in the recent past.”
    — Village Voice

  • “Lucy Lippard has skillfully blended sun, moon, myth, and ritual in a search for the meaning and social function of art.”
  • — Gerald Hawkins, author of Stonehenge Decoded and Mindsteps to the Cosmos

  • “The book’s strength lies in the depth of the author’s commitment–her dual loyalty to tradition and modernity and her effort to restore the broken connection between the two.”
    — New York Times Book Review

    GAR0253 BOOKS -‘Shades of Grey’, Oscar MARZAROLI

    last  |   next

    Oscar Marzaroli Shades of Grey

    GAR0253 Photography Books ‘Shades of Grey’

    DESCRIPTION “SHADES OF GREY – Glasgow 1956-1987”
    Photographs by Oscar Marzaroli
    Words by William McIlvanney
    This remarkable book marks the conjunction of two substantial talents and their shared experience which is the Glasgow of the past thirty years. While William Mcilvannev, writer, was steeping himself in the atmosphere of mid-fifties Glasgow as a student. Oscar Marzaroli, photographer, was beginning work as a freelance photojournalist in the city. One way or another. Glasgow has remained an enduring influence on both men. In ‘Shades of Grey’, each pays their particular tribute to a famous city in the process of change. Marzaroli’s photographs record not only the fabric of Glasgow old and new but also, through photo sequences, the character and the characters of the city. His view of Glasgow can bear comparison with other important photographers’ views of their favored places. No other photographer has caught the look and life of Glasgow with comparable accuracy and sympathy or produced images that we can relate to so strongly. This comprehensive collection of Marzaroli’s Glasgow photographs, selected from thousands of prints, is not just another book of photographs. It is a work that will rapidly become a permanent part of Scotland’s visual heritage. McIlvanney’s text, with its subjective impressions, complements perfectly the objective images from Marzaroli’s camera.

    Oscar Marzaroli was born in Castiglione Vara, Northern Italy, in 1933 his family moved to Glasgow when he was two, settling in the Garnethill area of the city. Courses in Glasgow School of Art were interrupted by illness. After working as a photographic assistant in Glasgow he moved to Stockholm to work as a freelance photo-journalist for a few years before moving to London. Returning to .. (continued on Back Flap ..)

    Adrian Bailey - the Caves of the Sun
    DESCRIPTION:
    This work argues that all myths, religions and folk tales can be traced to one source – the sun. It shows that solar cults were founded in order to influence the life-giving forces of nature, and these can be identified in Neanderthal cave dwellings of 60,000 years ago.

    GAR0168 BOOKS on Photography: Tim BESSERER, Dieter KOEVE -‘Nichts wird uns trennen’

    last  |   next

    Tim BESSERER, Dieter KOEVE -'Nichts wird uns trennen'
    DESCRIPTION: ‘Nothing will separate us’ (‘Nichts wird uns trennen’) steht auf einem Amulett geschrieben, welches um den Hals eines jungen Familienvaters hangt. Die Würde und Kraft, die diese Familie ausstrahlt, steht in krassem Widerspruch zu den bestehenden Lebensmöglichkeiten.
    Die in diesem Fotobuch mit Sachkenntnis zusammengetragenen Fotografien von 27 in Süd-afrika lebenden Fotografen machen in eindrucksvoller Weise deutlich, dass in diesem Teil Afrikas ein überwältigendes Potential an engagierten Fotografen arbeitet, die das Medium Fotografie als Weg zur Befreiung aus der Apartheid sehen. Dieses neue Selbstbewusstsein schlägt sich auch in der Auswahl der Gedichte aus Südafrika nieder, die die Fotos erganzen.
