Sean Scully Bücher

Sean Scully gehört zu den bedeutendsten abstrakten Malern unserer Zeit. Er malt aber nicht nur, sondern begleitet sein Werk auch intellektuell, durch Vorträge und Interviews, in denen er Auskunft über sein Arbeiten gibt, sich aber auch als glänzender Beobachter und Analytiker erweist, wenn es um die Kunst seiner Kollegen geht: etwa um Künstler wie van Gogh, Morandi, Mondrian, Rothko, den Expressionismus oder Minimalismus. In den rund 200 Texten, Ideenskizzen, Notaten, Gesprächen und Essays, die der Band Inner versammelt, gibt Sean Scully freimütig Auskunft über Biographisches, Emotionales, seine Entwicklung als Künstler, seine Absichten, Werkphasen und seine Sicht auf Kunst und Leben. Neben Faksimiles handgeschriebener und oft auch mit Zeichnungen versehener Seiten präsentiert dieses Buch einige eindrucksvolle Schlüsselwerke, die Scully mit seinen Äußerungen erhellt. Der Band erscheint nun endlich auch in deutscher Sprache. SEAN SCULLY (*1945, Dublin) ist einer der bekanntesten Künstler seiner Generation. Neben zahlreichen Ausstellungen weltweit wurde er mit wichtigen Preisen wie dem Guggenheim Fellowship und Harckness Fellowship geehrt.

Sean Scully , an Irish-born American painter has been a focus of attention in international painting for more than thirty years. He has produced a vibrant and compelling body of work that is widely collected and internationally exhibited. He has persistently held his own course and countless exhibitions all over the world testify to his creative powers and the force of his painting, which is in the tradition of Classical Modernism, ascribing particularly great importance to the expressiveness of colour itself. This book outlines and highlights the continuous development of Scully's oeuvre, from its beginnings in the late 1960s to the present day, with particular reference to the inherent structural qualities of colour itself. The internationally known works which Scully has produced since the 1980s are thereby linked with his almost unknown early works. What actually constitutes the essential links in the last four decades is the artist's exploration of colour and its particular capacity to fulfil s

"Irish-born Sean Scully is one of the most important abstract painters alive today. Over the course of more than thirty years, he has produced a vibrant, compelling and constantly inventive body of work in a range of media that is widely collected and internationally exhibited. His familiar signature style of lines or bands of color alluding to architectural elements such as portals, windows and walls is instantly recognizable." "Published to accompany a major European exhibition tour, Sean Scully: A Retrospective includes work in all media - painting, photographs, prints, drawings and watercolors - from the early 1970s to the present, the only book to cover Scully's entire career to date. Texts by respected curators Danilo Eccher, Lorand Hegyi and Maria Lluisa Borras and award-winning American critic and art historian Donald Kuspit position the artist in his rightful place within the traditions of earlier abstraction and of painting in general, while discussing the spiritual, emotional and very human nature of his art."--Jacket

Sean Scully uses pastels to create abstract works which are an emotive response to color. This book brings together 100 of his pastels in all their subtle and ecstatic celebration of the possibilities of color." "Since 1993 Arthur Danto has written four texts about Sean Scully's work. They are brought together for the first time in a volume which traces the history and development of this major artist in the writings of one of America's leading art critics

The Fundacion Juan March presents this bilingual edition of Sean Scully's essay, Bodies of Light, as a supplementary publication accompanying the exhibition, The Abstraction of From Northern Romanticism to Abstract Expressionism, on view in Madrid from October 5th, 2007, to January 13, 2008. The essay was first published in Spanish in the magazine Pasajes (Valencia). In Bodies of Light, therefore, Scully unites the artists who begin and end our exhibition and does it with specific reference to the proposal by Robert Rosenblum that inspired that of the existence of a line that connects the Romantic sublime of 19th-century Northern Europe with the American abstract sublime of the 20th century. It is perhaps no coincidence that Scully himself - an abstract painter born in Northern Europe (Dublin, Ireland, 1945), who became an American citizen in 1983, and lives in New York - shares biographical traits with that lengthy history.
