Giorgio Morandi: Works, Writings, Interviews (Ediciones Poligrafa)
Karen Wilkin, Giorgio Morandi

Poligrafa, 2007

Giorgio Morandi's steady pursuit of a poetic vision in still-life and landscape painting (as well as engravings and etchings) has secured him a singular and revered position in the history of Modern art. While drawing on the achievements of Giotto, Cezanne, the metaphysical painters and the Cubists, Morandi's work finally resembles no one else's ...

Ascending Peculiarity: Edward Gorey on Edward Gorey
Edward Gorey

Harcourt, 2001

Number one resource
The best book by far on Edward Gorey... in his own words. It gets a little repetative, but is also veyr broad. Phrasing tells you more about Edward Gorey than the actual responses to the questions. A treat.
  
  











  



  
David Smith (Modern Masters Series)
Karen Wilkin

Abbeville Press, 1984

Accessible art, fine writing
I opened this book as an uninformed amateur of modern art having no idea who David Smith was. I chose it because I had read other material by Karen Wilkin and found her insights interesting. That continued to be the case here and in addition I found David Smith's ...

Charta/Italian Cultural Institute, New York, 2008

Best known for his disarmingly simple depictions of bottles, vases, bowls and jars grouped together on tabletops and painted in exquisitely muted natural colors, the beloved twentieth century Italian painter Giorgio Morandi was also an exceptional interpreter of the medium of engraving. This charming, concise volume, published to coincide with a ...

Clement Greenberg: A Critic's Collection
Bruce Guenther

Princeton University Press, 2001

Underappreciated
This is a very beautiful book, showing many wonderful works of art, but only a relatively small number of them have achieved the recognition they deserve. Greenberg was always controversial during his lifetime. He lived to see the widespread acceptance in the 1950s of ...
  
  











  



  
Hans Hofmann

George Braziller, 2003

The painter Hans Hofmann (1880-1966) is one of the most important figures in post-war American art. In his lifetime, he came to be admired for his exuberant, colour-filled canvases, but it was as an influential teacher, first in his native Germany, later in New York and Provincetown, that he was most renowned. Today, he is celebrated a giant of ...

The World of Edward Gorey
Clifford Ross, Karen Wilkin

Harry N. Abrams, 2002

A serious look at a funny man
This book features an interesting interview, and then a rather rambling mononograph about Gorey's work overall. This essay is an important first attempt to place Gorey's unique vision into some kind of context, and though quite descriptive, it doesn't reveal a whole ...
