High Art Lite: The Rise and Fall of young british art

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stallabrass, Julian, PUBLISHER: Verso, A scathing and incisive critique of the contemporary art world, in an updated new edition. This extensively illustrated book is a lacerating account of the new British art scene which emerged in the s, its legacy in the 21st century, and what it tells us about the fate of high art in contemporary society. High Art Lite takes a critical look at the phenomenal success of YBA, young British artists obsessed with commerce, mass media and the cult of personality--Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Marcus Harvey, Sarah Lucas, among others--and questions whether their success is at the price of dumbing down and selling out. In a new chapter, Stallabrass explains how YBA lost its critical immunity and explores the ways in which the leading YBA figures have altered their work in recent years.

The Elders are Watching – the art of Roy Vickers. Canadian First Nation art.

As Canadian Native elders have advised from time immemorial, this is a gentle plea to respect the natural environment. When the award-winning poet David Bouchard first saw the artwork of First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers, he was struck by Vickers reverence for nature, the vibrancy of his colours, and his perceptive understanding of Canada's rugged West Coast. He saw in Vickers' images the perfect complement to his own lyrical, thoughtful poetry. They collaborated on the original edition of The Elders Are Watching, which has delighted more than readers in four languages. Bouchard says, "Both Roy and I share similar dreams for our children. Through this book, we hope that others will come to share these dreams and together work toward correcting some of the mistakes of the past." In this new edition, their vision is as fresh and relevant today as it was when the book was first published. A plea to respect the natural treasures of our environment and a message of concern from aboriginal leaders of the past to the people of the new millennium, The Elder Are Watching has both a timelessness and an urgency that must be heard." As can be seen from the photographs it is in excellent condition. Approximate dimensions 24x28x1 cm, 550 grams. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
