Tom Wesselmann

Tom Wesselmann's series Sunset Nudes (2002-2004) recalls the highly provocative blondes of the earlier series. Monumental in size, the series is rooted in the magazine and billboard imagery of the sixties out of which Wesselmann's practice emerged. Wesselmann was greatly influenced by Matisse and continued the legacy of both the reclining female and the drawn line in a unique visual language that is strong and immediately identifiable. Exhibition: Almine Rech Gallery, London, UK (30.01.-23.03.2019).

"Stieglitz on Photography is a compilation of Stieglitz's most significant essays gathered from a variety of sources. They are published together here for the first time in a single, illustrated volume. Many of these writings have been unavailable in print for over fifty years. In addition to Stieglitz's commentary on the development of fine-art photography, pictorialism, and the founding of the Photo-Secession, included are notes and darkroom recipes from his early experimentation with night and color photography, platinum and photogravure printing, and other early processes."--BOOK JACKET.
