Bob Dylan ist eine lebende Legende, er hat die Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts geprägt wie kaum ein anderer Musiker. Weitgehend unbekannt ist, dass er sich seit vier Jahrzehnten auch der Malerei widmet. Erstmalig ist es nun einem Museum gelungen, mehr als 100 seiner Gemälde in einer großen Ausstellung zu präsentieren. Das Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Kopenhagen zeigt ab September 2010 die „Brazil Series“ mit Werken, die alle in den letzten beiden Jahren entstanden sind. Das Buch präsentiert ca. 100 Gemälde von Bob Dylan, zusammen mit einigen Zeichnungen und Aquarellen. Schwerpunkt bilden die jüngst entstandenen Werke aus der „Brazil Series“, die wie die meisten dieser Bilder während seiner Musik-Tourneen entstanden sind. Sie dokumentieren Dylans einzigartige Beobachtungsgabe für Menschen, Gegenden und Gegenstände des Alltags, die in völlig neuem Licht erscheinen.

Overview: Published in conjunction with the first large-scale, multi-medium, posthumous retrospective of Willem de Kooning's career, this publication offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the development of the artist's work as it unfolded over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland before he moved to the United States in 1926, and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s. The volume presents approximately 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, covering the full diversity of de Kooning's art and placing his many masterpieces in the context of a complex and fascinating pictorial practice. An introductory essay by John Elderfield, MoMA's Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture, provides an in-depth exploration of de Kooning's development, context and sources, theory of art and working methods. Sections devoted to particular areas of the artist's oeuvre provide an illustrated chronology of the period and a brief introduction, as well as detailed entries on groups of works. With lavish, full-color documentation, this landmark publication is the most complete account of de Kooning's artistic career to date.

Set against the backdrop of the historically rich city of Oxyrhynchus, Saville's new body of work explores the concept of layered narratives through a series of twelve artworks.

Each piece invites viewers to engage with the complexities of history and memory embedded within the layers of her artistic expression.

Th is book, like the exhibition it accompanies, looks at the special pictorial and thematic characteristics of Cézanne's portraiture practice, including his creation of complementary pairs and multiple versions of the same subject . The chronological development of the artist's portraiture is also explored , with an examinat ion of the changes that occurred with respect to his style and method, on the one hand, and his understanding of resemblance and identity, on the other . Th e extent to which particular sitters inflected the characteristics and development of his practice is also considered . Cézanne Portraits features works that mutually inform each other to reveal arguably the most personal , and therefore most human, aspect of his art, and one that has hitherto received surprisingly little attention. They range from Cézanne's earliest surviving self - portraits , dating from the 1860s, through to his final portraits of Vallier, the gardener at his hou se near Aix - en - Provence, made shortly before the artist's death in 1906. Exhibition curator John Elderfield contributes an illuminating introductory essay on Cézanne's portraiture, while the artist's biographer, the late Alex Danchev, provides an informative dramatis personae on the sitters featured . The catalogue texts are by John Elderfi eld, Mary Morton and Xavier Rey , and a chronology by Jayne Warman sets the artist's work in the context of his life.
