Unknown Author

4.9/5 (26844 ratings)

Description:This is a superbly illustrated monograph exploring the remarkable career of contemporary artist David Thauberger. The works of David Thauberger, one of North America's most important contemporary artists, are immediately recognizable for their iconic depictions of vernacular architecture, such as legion halls, false-front businesses, churches and houses. Whether working in patterned watercolours, flocked prints, ceramics, or taped and stencilled paintings, Thauberger straddles the line between industrial and handmade, his extensive formal training counterbalanced by a rejection of the formal limitations of a fine art approach. Informed by popular culture, postcard imagery, folk art, and utopian urban planning concepts, his art practice combines a keen eye for popular idioms with an encyclopaedic knowledge of 20th-century art. Through his work Thauberger shows that Regionalism and Modernism are not always contradictory. Six original essays discuss a wide range of topics related to the artist's work, notably, the material and psychological richness of the Prairies as understood through his complex relationship to it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
