Hardcover. NY, Mnuchin Gallery , 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 65 pages, fully Illustrated fabric bound catalogue designed by McCall Associates, New York and authored by art historian, professor and scholar Clayton Press. "Mnuchin Gallery is proud to present Joan Mitchell--Christine Ay Tjoe: an exhibition which sparks a dialogue between, Joan Mitchell and Christine Ay Tjoe, two trailblazers of 20th and 21st century abstraction... These two distinct artists use alternative means to address the same question: "What does it mean to make an abstract painting?" Mitchell and Ay Tjoe both engage with the canvas using a bevy of brushstrokes that vary in degrees of strength and depth. Through this process, they yield deeply introspective paintings that simultaneously allude to the real world with playful titles and harmonic color palettes. The paintings presented in Joan Mitchell-Christine Ay Tjoe underscore how these artists draw from their environments and cultures, as they ultimately seek to transcend generational boundaries and prescribed definitions of Eastern and Western artistic traditions."

Hardcover. New Haven, CT, Yale University Press, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 240 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Very clean, like new in publishers shrink-wrap. A tight copy. The American realist artist John Sloan is best known for his portrayals of daily life in early 20th-century New York and as a member of The Eight and the Ashcan School, alongside peers like Robert Henri, Everett Shinn, and George Luks. Sloan's artistic approach was shaped by his experience as a commercial illustrator, a type of work that inaugurated his professional career-at newspapers like the Philadelphia Press and later for mass-market magazines-and which he pursued even after he turned his focus to painting. In John Sloan: Drawing on Illustration, Michael Lobel explores the impact of Sloan's illustrating on his wider output, including his paintings, his drawings for the radical journal The Masses, and his response to the watershed 1913 Armory Show. Illuminating the interaction between art and popular culture, this book provides an important new framework for understanding the modern genre of illustration, and in so doing touches on major 20th-century currents, including the rise and expansion of the mass media and the visual legacy of European modernism.
