      A remarkable new book providing unique insight into Tate's collection through the depiction of plants and flowers With their delightful colors, incredible natural beauty, and fascinating "otherness," it is no surprise that flowers and plants have long captivated artists. They have come to symbolize a gamut of complex human emotions, including hope, delight, love, compassion, gratitude, grief, and loss. The fragility of flowers is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life. Their sensory appeal--to our sight, smell, touch and even, sometimes, taste--brings us into the present moment, and they can affect our well-being in surprisingly healing ways. Bloom is a compendium of 100 of the most beautiful floral works from Tate's collection. Designed to encourage slow, mindful looking, it will bring reflection, restoration, and joy.

    • British Baroque: Power & Illusion

      • 7 heures de lecture

      "This exhibition catalogue presents a fresh and visually breath-taking new look at the art of the late Stuart period in Britain (1660-1714). From the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the death of Queen Anne in 1714, the late Stuart period was a time of great change for Britain, and a rich, sophisticated, but largely overlooked era of art history. This exhibition book, created to accompany Tate Britain's 2020 exhibition British Baroque: Power & Illusion, explores how art and architecture were used by the crown, the church, and the aristocracy to project images of status in an age when the power of the monarchy was being questioned. Featuring the work of the leading painters of the day -- including Peter Lely, Godfrey Kneller, and James Thornhill -- it celebrates ambitious grand-scale portraits, the persuasive illusion of mural painting, the brilliant woodcarving of Grinling Gibbons, and the magnificent architecture of the great buildings of the age by Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, and John Vanbrugh"--Publisher's description.

    • Keith Haring (1958–1990) était une figure clé du monde de l'art new-yorkais des années 1980, devenant une star internationale grâce à son style distinctif influencé par le graffiti et l'art de la bande dessinée. Ses interventions publiques, sculptures et œuvres sur toile et papier sont devenues des icônes de la culture visuelle du XXe siècle, ses bonhommes et symboles réduits se retrouvant sur des boutons, cartes postales, T-shirts, tasses et affiches en millions d'exemplaires. Haring était un habile auto-promoteur, mais aussi un homme conscient des enjeux sociaux. Ses œuvres, malgré leur imagerie frappante, abordaient souvent des thèmes sociopolitiques tels que le racisme, le capitalisme, le fondamentalisme religieux et les impacts croissants du sida sur la scène gay new-yorkaise, maladie à laquelle il succomba en 1990. De ses premières œuvres à la craie dans le métro new-yorkais à son emblématique "Radiant Baby", en passant par ses commandes pour Swatch et Absolut Vodka, son œuvre se caractérise par une immense diversité. Ce volume invite à découvrir un artiste qui trouvait le monde de l'art terriblement ennuyeux et dont les créations sont devenues partie intégrante d'une culture pop mondiale.
