Picturing The City : Urban Vision And The Ashcan School

- TABLE OF CONTENTS
- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Description
Picturing the City takes an innovative look at the group of urban realists known as the Ashcan School, and at the booming cultures of vision and representation in early twentieth-century New York. By situating the Ashcan School within its proper visual culture, Zurier opens up the question of what the artists’ “realism” meant at a time when many other forms of representation, including journalism and cinema, were competing to define “real life” in New York City.

Alternative Art, New York, 1965-1985 : A Cultural Politics Book For The Social Text Collective

Attribution
Julie Ault, editor
Publication Details
Book, University of Minnesota Press, 2002
Description
By the mid-1960s, New York’s art establishment-its major museums and galleries-had ceased to reflect the city’s diversity and had largely ignored the decade’s social, political, and cultural ferment. This alternative art movement flourished for more than two decades, repositioning New York at the center of international contemporary art. Alternative Art New York brings together a diverse group of artists and critics to explore the origins and evolution of this diffuse and vibrant cultural scene from a variety of perspectives: political, philosophical, organizational, economic, and aesthetic.

It Hurts : New York Art From Warhol To Now

Attribution
Matthew Collings, photographs by Ian MacMillan
Publication Details
Book, 21 Publishing, 1998
Description
What hurts British painter and art critic Matthew Collings these days is the current state of contemporary art. Critical theory, that heavy brick of densely packed ideas accessible only to a small group of overly educated artists and critics, is the building block of much of today’s art, and Collings believes it builds a nearly impenetrable wall between art and its viewers.
