Rarely seen and important paintings by this much-loved French postimpressionist, emphasizing his radical use of colour and unconventional compositions. A new monograph brings together 30 important paintings by Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) on loan from museums and private collections, including still lifes, nudes, interior scenes, and landscapes, many never seen together before and published here for the first time. The book reveals how Bonnard's modern compositions transformed paintings in the first half of the twentieth century, while celebrating his unpar-alleled ability to capture fleeting moments, memories, and emotions on canvas. Rather than focus on a particular time period or subject, Bonnard: The Experience of Seeing aims to present Bonnard's modernity and concentrate on his influence on contemporary painters working today. The book draws attention to how Bonnard translated the experience of perception-with his shifting spaces, camouflaged and dissolving figures going in and out of focus, and forms hidden at the periphery-and how we as viewers experience his paintings, with his works slowly revealing themselves to us over time.

A dynamic overview of the best new contemporary painting from around the world.
The first volume of Vitamin P, published in 2002, inaugurated a vibrant period for painting. Since its publication, a whole new generation of painters has emerged, some inspired by the artists who appeared in that book, others taking cues from new sources. Vitamin P2 introduces this new wave of painters to the world.
The vast medium of painting continues to be a central pillar of artistic practice, and Vitamin P2 presents the outstanding artists who are currently engaging with and pushing the boundaries of the medium. Over 80 international critics, artists and curators have nominated the 115 artists who have made a fresh, unique or innovative contribution to recent painting. All of the artists in Vitamin P2 have recently emerged onto the international scene, and none appeared in the first Vitamin P.
An introduction by Barry Schwabsky, who also wrote the introduction for Vitamin P, provides a broad overview of recent developments in the medium while also looking towards its future.

The fi rst true monograph on the work of celebrated French conceptual artist and sculptor Bernar Venet.
Bernar Venet is one of France's most celebrated living artists. Having emerged from the late 1960s avant-garde scene in New York, Venet developed a personal aesthetic based on an innovative use of mathematics and science, where control, chance, and chaos converge to form a fi ne equilibrium while investigating their relationship with the environment. Conversant in many media, Venet is mostly known for his monumental outdoor sculptures in major cities worldwide and, in fall 19, his Arc Majeur is due for completion at a site in Belgium - at almost 200 feet in height (60 metres), Venet's sculpture will be taller than New York's Statue of Liberty.
Cette monographie présente un ensemble de quelque 70 oeuvres grand format, couvrant trois décennies de production de l'artiste abstrait britannique Ian Davenport, des premières pièces réalisées avec des matériaux industriels dans les années 1980 aux travaux multicolores complexes des dernières années.
Publié à l'occasion de l'expositon éponyme à Dallas Contemporary, en 2018-2019.
Monographie axée autour des deux derniers cycles d'oeuvres du peintre abstrait américain, développés depuis une quinzaine d'années : une série de peintures apparemment monochromes, en réalité des peintures pâles, discrètes et élaborées d'où émergent de subtils signes, traces et marques, et une série résultant d'un long processus de préparation, faisant partie de l'oeuvre elle-même, consistant à effacer lentement, parfois pendant plusieurs mois, tout détail figuratif de la surface des peintures à l'aide de solvants et de chiffons.
Publié suite à l'exposition éponyme à la galerie P420, Bologne, en 2018.
Dappled brushwork, delicate hues and cloisonné textures dance across the surfaces of Cranston's still lives, landscapes and interiors Scottish painter Andrew Cranston (born 1969) creates transporting images that destabilize our sense of time: they invite the viewer to explore a space between nostalgia and the realm of the dream. Dense blots of oil graze on top of washes of distemper, guiding the viewer's eye through thick and thin layers of pigment. The paintings gathered in Waiting for the Bell conjure a state of liminality--the feeling of being suspended in a dream before the alarm jolts one back to reality--and draw from stories, poems and experiences that emerge from the artist's subconscious. Each painting's layering is guided by intuition: a reference to a Carole King album cover is interlaced alongside allusions to jazz history, the writing of Muriel Spark and visions of the Scottish coast.
This substantial volume includes newly commissioned essays by Stephanie Burt and Barry Schwabsky.
Key works from the 50-year career of the great Dansaekhwa abstractionist.
One of the early members of the Dansaekhwa art movement, Suh Seung-Won (born 1941) set the foundations for modernism in Korea. For over 50 years, Seung-Won's delicate monochrome paintings have explored the concept of simultaneity, using geometric patterns to delineate his aesthetic understanding of time and space.
This lavishly illustrated monograph collects selected works from throughout the artist's career, presented here alongside historical photographs from the artist's life and earliest exhibitions. Major new texts from critic Barry Schwabsky and art historian Sohl Lee track the development of Suh's revolutionary aesthetic since the 1960s and its parallels in the development of the artworld and Korean culture during that time.
Suh Seung-Won is an essential look at one of the most vital artists of Korea's modernist movement and the subtly powerful monochrome abstractions that have defined his legacy.
"Wylie fearlessly tackles the thorniest topics head-on, committing her thoughts and questions about politics, religion, fame, love, history, money and nature to canvas." - Charlotte Brook, Harper's Bazaar Inspired by film, pop culture, and the history of fashion as she experienced personally, Wylie harnesses a union of high and low culture with a bold technique of mark making. Her unique practice of material overlay and erasure creates fantastic compositions. Creating conceptual tensions between formal and informal aesthetics, Wylie employs the visual elements of text as formal details in her paintings.
With a beautiful swiss binding, this monograph compiles the work of four exhibitions at David Zwirner offering a full breadth of Wylie's most recent work to date. Giving insight and compassion to Wylie's feminist and rebellious impulses, Judith Bernstein writes an accompanying text on how she relates to Wylie's ambitious and playful energy. With a foreword by Nicholas Serota, this publication also features new essays by Barry Schwabsky and David Salle and an enlightening interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Première monographie de la peintre belge d'origine syrienne.
Près des toiles, des pinceaux, des tubes de peinture, d'autres outils envahissent l'atelier de Farah Atassi : ouvrages d'histoire de l'art, revues d'architecture, catalogues d'exposition. Sur la table de travail, des dizaines d'images découpées sont minutieusement ordonnées, classées et annotées pour préparer les tableaux à venir. Partir d'une photographie pour arriver à une peinture, voilà le premier temps du travail de Farah Atassi. L'artiste accomplit de longues recherches qui la mènent souvent sur les traces des avant-gardes européennes des premières décennies du xxe siècle.
Plongeant et puisant dans l'histoire de l'architecture, de la peinture et du design, Farah Atassi s'attache à sélectionner des images qui lui permettront de construire ses intérieurs, car il s'agit là d'un véritable jeu de construction. Des traits au crayon pour placer les objets qui viendront hanter les tableaux, puis un précis quadrillage au scotch pour assurer la systématisation des motifs, qu'elle n'enlèvera qu'à la toute fin, non sans laisser quelques marques de l'adhésif. Le temps est maintenant venu de peindre. Farah Atassi peint des grands formats qui représentent des intérieurs. Des murs suintants, des espaces inhabités, quelques meubles branlants, un carrelage noirci par la saleté, un décor vétuste, quelques traces d'une présence humaine passée. Une ambiance de fin de partie où la ruine menace.
