Rizzoli Carrie Moyer
Book SynopsisCarrie Moyer’s first major monograph expansively represents the influential abstract painter’s work and queer agitprop. Carrie Moyer consciously centers her painting as a practice about painting, with history as a subtext. Known for her incursions into Color Field painting, Moyer also traces her influences to iconic female artists of the twentieth century, such as Georgia O’Keeffe, and surrounding questions of taste, once quipping of her paintings that “[Helen] Frankenthaler and [Fernand] Léger met in a dark corner and had Elizabeth Murray.” Moyer’s complex work merges abstract aesthetics and legible imagery: vividly colored and textured forms are embedded with a range of historical, stylistic, and physical references to Surrealism, Modernism, 1960s and ’70s counterculture graphics, and ’70s feminist art. Moyer often works on the floor, pouring, rolling, stippling, mopping the paint, and embelli

Rowman & Littlefield Every Picture Hides a Story: The Secret Ways
Book SynopsisEach year 11 million people trek to the Louvre to gawk at the Mona Lisa. Many visitors clutch guide books in hand describing the painting. For some, it’s the experience of a lifetime, one they’ll talk about with friends and family for decades.Yet some modern researchers say that the vast majority of people will never recognize the hidden messages in this painting. That’s because those hidden messages are subliminal.Buried below the threshold of conscious awareness, Da Vinci used techniques people never notice. Not only don’t people know what they’re seeing, they would be shocked to find out.A surprisingly large number of famous paintings fall into the same category. That is, they employ subliminal techniques to enhance the effectiveness of the work or to encode messages within portraits and landscapes. No book, however, has ever attempted to provide an overview of the technical sophistication and arcane methods that artists worldwide have used to conceal secret meaning in their work. Every Picture Hides a Story is the first book to expose the subliminal content in the world’s greatest paintings. Titillating, subversive, and building on the groundbreaking work of pioneers of art criticism, this book will enable readers to view art masterpieces with greater understanding. And their enjoyment of these works will be exponentially enhanced.This full-color book contains 90 images of the paintings and their details. Table of ContentsIntroduction Leonardo da Vinci Michelangelo Raphael Hans Holbein the Younger El Greco Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio Artemisia Gentileschi Diego Velázquez Rembrandt van Rijn Johannes Vermeer Thomas Gainsborough Francisco Goya Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres Edgar Degas Winslow Homer Paul Cézanne Berthe Morisot Pierre-Auguste Renoir Mary Cassatt Thomas Eakins Vincent van Gogh John Singer Sargent Gustav Klimt Frida Kahlo Andrew Wyeth
