The Park Avenue Cubists: Gallatin, Morris, Frelinghuysen and Shaw (Routledge Revivals)

This title was first published in 2002. The Park Avenue Cubists explores the work of a group of American artists committed to the belief that American abstraction could make a unique contribution to the evolution of the visual experiments begun by the European Modernists. All were inspired by the work of Braque, Picasso, Gris and Leger which they witnessed at first hand during repeated trips to Paris. Dubbed the 'Park Avenue Cubists' for the wealth and social status that enabled them to promote their own work and patronise that of their fellow members of the American Abstract Artists (AAA), the group included Albert Eugene Gallatin, George L.K. Morris, Suzy Frelinghuysen and Charles G. Shaw. Featuring essays by Debra Bricker Balken and Robert S. Lubar on the group's place in the history of modern art, along with individual studies of the four artists and an appendix bringing together the key statements written by the artists themselves, this volume provides the first in-depth study of the group.

The work of Antoni Tapies offers a unique case of the artist-as-shaman--that is, the artist as an alchemist who is capable of discovering the nature of materials, transforming their substance, and bringing meaning to life. A self-taught painter, Tapies began his career in the lively and exciting period directly following World War II: in 1947 he founded, along with Joan Brossa, the journal ''Dau al Set,'' which championed Surrealist aesthetics. Drawing upon the latter, Tapies created a Spanish analogue to the so-called Abstract Expressionism of the New York School, combining the techniques and forms of "action painting" with his own deep sense of human pathos. As time went by, Tapies increasingly incorporated social themes into his work, achieving a rare and impassioned mix of experimental painting and politics. This new monograph surveys the artist's career from the late 1940s to the present day, selecting works that show the diversities and unities within the artist's consistently rewarding oeuvre. What we find is an artist who has always questioned and challenged our ways of seeing art and the world, and in the process, created true masterpieces.
