Product DescriptCarr, a Canadian, OKeeffe, an American, and Kahlo, a Mexican, were not close during their lives, but Udall (an independent art historian in Santa Fe, New Mexico), in this carefully reasoned and illuminating study, effectively brings many aspects of the artists works together to demonstrate a kind of zeitgeist they shared as women developing often surprisingly similar, non-tradital themes in the 1920s. Ls between their works are developed in the areas of natalism, identity, gender, nature, and self through discuss of their ings, psychology, and artistic influences. Annotat c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)From Library JournalComparatively sparse visually, Udalls work explores many different facets of Kahlo, Emily Carr, and Georgia OKeeffe. In the opening essay, independent historian Udall assigns Kahlo the role of the woman artist exploring her heritage and identity through art. This essay sets the tone for the rest of the book. By grouping Kahlo, Carr, and OKeeffe, Udall is able to show how tradital, native values influenced the work of each artist and how being a woman altered the subject and tone of each piece she created. It is interesting to note the way men are presented in these two books. For example, Diego Rivera, credited with being a supportive husband by the male essayists in Lozanos work, is seen as a selfish, cheating manipulator by Udall, who chooses to delve into the complexity of Rivera and Kahlos relatship instead of presenting the glossed over, one-sided view found in Lozanos book. Overall, however, both books are strong. Frida Kahlo is a visually breathtaking and exciting read. Places of Their Own offers small, if lovely and useful, reproducts of some ings, but the rich analysis of the lives of these three artists is what matters here. Jointly, these two works offer the most comprehensive visual and academic study of Kahlo available yet. Recommended for all serious art collects. Rachel Collins, Library JournalCopyright 2001 Reed Business Informat, Inc.Review[Udall] has wrought miracles in [this] marvellous book?intuitive, probing readings?from deep research and scholarly empathy. --Sarah Milroy, Toronto Globe and MailFrom the Inside FlapThis original and thought-provoking book compares the art, lives, and achievements of three great artists of the Americas: Emily Carr (1871-1945) of Canada, Georgia OKeeffe (1887-1986) of the United States, and Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) of Mexico. Each became her countrys preeminent woman er in the twentieth century, and all explored similar issues in their ing. Sharyn Udall shows how each artist searched for an authentic, personal identity and analyzes in detail the issues these women faced in relat to natality, nature, gender, and the creat of a personal mythology.Although their work is visually disparate, certain interesting themes connect Carr, OKeeffe, and Kahlo. Udall draws on rich archives and uses specific works of art to illustrate the differences and similarities among the three. She demonstrates how a profound identificat with nature led each artist to a lifelong explorat of its forms and symbolism. Further, each er felt a special connectedness to the earth and to nature in her reg. Udall also looks at the different ways each artist entwined her private-and in all three cases, deeply spiritual-self in her artistic identity and the unique ways each established a public identity. By viewing the work of Carr, OKeeffe, and Kahlo collectively, Udall shows, we illuminate in new ways the art of a continent.This book is the catalogue of an exhibit organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collect that will open in April 2001 and will travel in 2001 and 2002 to the Santa Fe Museum of Fine Arts; the Natal Museum of Women in Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Vancouver Art Gallery.About the AuthorSharyn Rohlfsen Udall is an in, Gut, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Bestes Angebot, [LT: BestOffer], Edition Description: First Editiion, Binding: Hardcover, Publication Date: 11-10-2000, Sprache: English, Publication Year: 11-10-2000, Country of Origin: USA, United States, Manufacturer/Packer/Importer Details: ERGODE, Net Quantity/Number of Units: 1, Dimensions (LxWxH) - Inches: 1.21X11.36X7.43, ISBN-10: 0300079583, ISBN-13: 9780300079586, SKU: SONG0300079583, Buchtitel: Carr, O`Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own, Yale University Press<
