Joseph Stella's Symbolism (Essential Paintings Series)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (17311 ratings)

Description:The art that Joseph Stella created throughout his career of four decades exhibits an extraordinary range of both subject and style, from the monumental industrial paintings of buildings and bridges that won him acclaim as America's foremost futurist painter to the mystical bird- and flower-filled compositions that reverberate with personal and symbolic meaning. Here are 35 of Stella's greatest works beautifully reproduced in color, showing the full diversity and expressive breadth of this great visionary painter. Born in 1877 in a small village in southern Italy, Stella came to New York at the age of eighteen, bringing the influences of the ancient classical tradition from a world deep-rooted in Christian imagery to a dramatic modern city transformed by industrial development. Irma Jaffe explores how Stella skillfully integrated these influences with a variety of contemporary ideas and invested his work with a personal significance that was both sensual and spiritual. The complex iconography of many of his works is examined in detail, including the well-known Battle of Lights, Coney Island and the majestically executed The Voice of the City of New York Interpreted, the five-panel masterpiece that powerfully conveys the grandeur and inspiration of New York City. Stella's need for self-expression was almost as verbal as it was visual, and the mysterious, enigmatic nature of Stella's symbols are further brought to light through his writings. The vivid, lyrical accounts of his artistic experience, written as prose poems, essays, and fragments of memories, have been translated from the Italian by the author and appear next to the color plates. A chronology and selected bibliography complete this volume.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
