The Music of Pure Abstraction : Charlie Sheard

Sheard, Charlie. Pettit, E.S. (Editor)

Verlag: Peking art associates, Peking, 2022

22 x 31cm 236pp very good hardback in colourful dust jacket. A respecter of tradition, yet one who is apparently not afraid to engage and play with tradition, the Australian artist Sheard admires the genius and bravery of innovators and outsiders, art's icons and the anonymous alike, who have one thing in common: their ability to uncover what he calls spiritual reality . His odyssey to enter it through his own practice means he has both academically and experimentally studied the puristic motives of Song Dynasty literati Chinese landscape shan shui painting; the kaleidoscopic, transportive Buddhist frescoes of Dunhuang; the sensuality of 18th century French painting and her unorthodox Watteau; the great pioneers of colour and moreover, promoters of its equal prominence to form, from Titian and the colour-driven Venetian school to early Kandinsky as trailblazer of early 20th-century Abstraction; and, more than anything else, the bodily energy of the Ancient Greeks. Packed with colour reproductions. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 32216
