This " California Landscapes " rare first edition Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud collector's lithograph print large hardcover exhibition art book is an incredibly special and unique book to add to your library collection.
The hardcover book with sky blue linen covered boards, embossed cover and spine titles, and dust jacket is published by Acquavella Galleries New York City, distributed by Rizzoli International Publications Inc. New York. Printed in The United States in 2018 by Phoenix Lithographing, Philadelphia Pennsylvania in an unnumbered limited edition on the occasion of the exhibition, book design by HVADesign NY. Essay authored by poet John Yau, and interviews with the artists by Phillipe De Montebello and Richard Wollheim.
This book is dedicated to the landscape artworks by these two leading Postwar California painters who were also close friends. The themes explored include their use of vibrant color, painterly texture, sense of light, and aerial perspective.
Wayne Thiebaud ( 1920 - 2021 ) is an American painter widely known for his luscious handling of paint, and brilliant colorful palette of works depicting commonplace objects that combined sensuousness, nostalgia and a hint of melancholy. Thiebaud is associated with The Pop Art Movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture. Although his early works, executed during the 1950's and 1960's slightly predate the works of classic Pop artists. He uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.
Richard Diebenkorn ( 1922 - 1993 ) was an American painter who's early work is associated with Abstract Expressionism and The Bay Area Figurative Movement of the 1950's and 1960's. His later works were instrumental to his achievement of worldwide acclaim. His artworks were influenced by other important Modern artists including Clyfford Still, Willem De Kooning, Arshile Gorky and Henri Matisse. described as one of the premier American painters of the Postwar Era, Diebenkorn's deeply lyrical Abstractions evoked the shimmering light and wide open spaces of California where he spent most of his life.
This beautiful volume is a must-have for anyone interested in these two beloved West Coast artists, best known for their Geometric Abstractions of the California landscape. Featuring the pairings of more than 50 paintings, this book shows the connection of these two artists like never before. Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud shared the inspiration of California and experimented with perspective to capture their surroundings.
The rare out of print 1st edition collector's large format hardcover exhibition art book measures 10" W X 12 1/4" H X 1" D, with 188 pages. It is printed on premium paper stock featuring 100 lithograph print illustrations, an extensive chronology on the artists' intersecting lives and approaches to landscape, and exhibition installation images.
