A fine copy in a fine dust wrapper protected in plastic. This book is the catalogue for an exhibition at the Museum of International Folk Art, Santa Fe (October 31, 2003 to summer 2004). Published in association with the Museum of International Folk Art, Santa Fe, NM. With essays by Annie Carlano, John Beardsley, Caterina Gemma Brenzoni, Victoria Y. Lu, John Maizels, Jacques Mercier, Susan Brown McGreevy, and Randall Morris. Outsider Art is a name for the creations of those who live and work at a distance from prevailing notions about mainstream artistic trends, individuals who are frequently unaware of themselves as artists or their works as art. This striking book presents and discusses some of the twentieth century's most significant examples of Outsider Art. Global in scope, the book features essays by leading international scholars on eight artists from around the world, including Gedewon, a cleric from Ethiopia who made unique and psychedelic talismans; William Hawkins, an African-American self-taught artist with a unique pop sensibility; the Mexican artist MartÃn RamÃrez, creator of large-scale works that tell tales of mestizo life; Nek Chand Saini, whose Rock Garden in India is a leading visionary site; Hung Tung, whose colorful scrolls reflect both traditional Taiwanese culture and fantastic imagination; former Navajo medicine man Charlie Willeto, carver of raw, expressionistic figures and animals; Anna ZemÃ¡nkovÃ¡, Czech maker of dreamy, biomorphic drawings, perhaps done in a trance or mediumistic state; and Italian artist Carlo Zinelli, whose bold graphic compositions display incredible patterns and energy. Filled with stunning photographs and new scholarship, the book presents a major study of international Outsider Art and demonstrates the importance of place and time-as well as internal genius-in these artists' creative processes.

Small 4to, cloth. A review copy with promotional letter laid in. A fine copy in dustwrapper with one small closed tear on spine panel protected in plastic. In the late nineteenth century, the development of a relatively new invention, the moving picture, dramatically changed visual culture. Films not only captured the public imagination, they altered the way the world was represented to and received by the eager viewing audience. This groundbreaking book explores the history of visual media in Britain during this key period, when the nineteenth century was closing and the twentieth just beginning. Lynda Nead shows in this original study how the period witnessed a transformation from stasis to movement across the entire range of visual media, including painting, photography, and film as well as stage magic, lantern pictures, early film posters, and astronomy. She looks at the effects of this transformation from a wide variety of perspectives, demonstrating how the idea of motion haunted all visual media and altered both viewersâ€™ expectations of the image and their modes of perception. Nead portrays a fascinating cultural landscape in the midst of change, filling in the details with a rich selection of illustrations.
