    Book SynopsisFor 300 years, a unique and complex artistic puzzle has been hidden, the solution of which reveals an extraordinary critique of what can be described as the first modern media revolution. The mind behind this puzzle was a Dutch/British still-life painter named Edward Collier. Working around 1700, Collier has been neglected, even forgotten, precisely because his secret messages have never been noticed, let alone understood. Until now. In this book, Dror Wahrman recovers the tale of an extraordinary illusionist artist who engaged in a wholly original way with a major transformation of his generation: an unprecedented explosion in cheap print - newspapers, pamphlets, informational publications, artistic prints - that was produced for immediate release and far-flung circulation faster and in larger quantities that ever before. Edward Collier developed a secret language within his still-life paintings - replete with minutely coded messages, witty games, intricate allusions, and private jokeTrade ReviewWahrman guides the reader through the details of the evidence as he finds it on dozens of canvases and, where possible, in Dutch archives with such a sure hand that most readers will not feel that a better story is possible.... * Journal of Modern History *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Puzzles ; Chapter 1: Print 2.0 c. 1700: A New Media Regime ; Chapter 2: Life Not Still ; Chapter 3: The Nature of Print ; Chapter 4: Marking Time ; Chapter 5: Monarchy in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction ; Chapter 6: Eye Con ; Chapter 7: A Man with an Impossible Temper ; Chapter 8: Tom, Dick, and Henry ; Chapter 9: The Collier Club? ; Chapter 10: Death of the Author? ; Chapter 11: Which Revolution?

    Book SynopsisIn this unique book the author explores the history of pioneering computer art and its contribution to art history by way of examining Ernest Edmondsâ art from the late 1960s to the present day. Edmondsâ inventions of new concepts, tools and forms of art, along with his close involvement with the communities of computer artists, constructive artists and computer technologists, provides the context for discussion of the origins and implications of the relationship between art and technology. Drawing on interviews with Edmonds and primary research in archives of his work, the book offers a new contribution to the history of the development of digital art and places Edmondsâ work in the context of contemporary art history.Trade Review"I consider this book to be an important contribution to the field of media art history and in particular to that of generative and interactive art."Frank Popper, Professor Emeritus of Aesthetics and the Science of Art, University of Paris VIII, Paris"This book provides a long overdue in-depth study of the work of one of the pioneers of digital art. Drawing upon Edmonds' original projects, his notes and statements, as well as documentation and exhibition catalogues, Francesca Franco traces the work's evolution from figurative art to colour abstraction and computer-based experimentation. The author's detailed analysis not only creates a deeper understanding of Edmonds' body of work but also functions as media archaeology, referencing exhibition histories that are often overlooked and outlining intersections between Constructivism, Systems Art and the digital art of the 21st century, as well as their concepts, tools, and forms."Christiane Paul, Associate Professor, School of Media Studies, The New School, New York"Of all those who signposted the road of interaction, systems, colocation and the new geometries of space and communication, from Fluxus to ubiquitous networks, Ernest Edmonds has been among the most connected, prolific and influential. Francesca Franco elaborates his rich, diverse and endlessly invigorating practice in relation to art movements and institutional evolutions in an imaginative and immaculate work of art historical scholarship. Still perplexing even in the digital era, this story of digital art’s origins and trajectories will inspire new generations of artists, scholars and thinkers in the dense interweavings of art, science and technology."Sean Cubitt, Professor of Film and Television and co-Head of Department of Media and Communications Goldsmiths, University of London."An inTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

    Book SynopsisThis is the most thorough and detailed monograph on the artwork of Raymond Jonson. He is one of many artists of the first half of the twentieth-century who demonstrate the richness and diversity of an under-appreciated period in the history of American art. Visualizing the spiritual was one of the fundamental goals of early abstract painting in the years before and during World War I. Artists turned to alternative spirituality, the occult, and mysticism, believing that the pure use of line, shape, color, light and texture could convey spiritual insight. Jonson was steadfastly dedicated to this goal for most of his career and he always believed that modernist and abstract styles were the most effective and compelling means of achieving it.Table of ContentsContentsAcknowledgmentsList of IllustrationsIntroduction: Raymond Jonson and Twentieth Century American Art: Reconsidering the Canonical in American Art History and the Spiritual in American Modernist PaintingChapter One: "Art Is as Broad as Space": Jonson’s Early Years in the West and ChicagoChapter Two: "The Land of Sunshine and Color and Tragedy": New Mexico and Jonson’s Landscape Paintings and CompositionsChapter Three: "These Are the Second Attack on the Abstract": the Thematic, Conceptual Series Paintings of 1929-1936Chapter Four: "A More Intense Participation in the Life of the Spirit": Jonson’s First Totally Abstract Paintings, His Theories of Art and the Transcendental Painting GroupChapter Five: "Fast Arriving and Spontaneous Combustions of Color–space–line and Design": Absolute Painting, 1938-1950Chapter Six: "Causing the Surface to Come to Life": Jonson’s Late Career, 1950-1978ReferencesIndex
