Produktbeschreibung
New York School Painters & Poets charts the collaborative milieu of New York City poets and artists in the mid-twentieth century. This unprecedented volume comprehensively reproduces rare ephemera, collecting and reprinting collaborations, paintings, drawings, poetry, letters, art reviews, photographs, dialogues, manifestos, and memories. Jenni Quilter offers a chronological survey of this milieu, which includes artists such as Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Alex Katz, Jasper Johns, Fairfield Porter, Larry Rivers, George Schneeman, and Rudy Burckhardt, plus writers John Ashbery, Bill Berkson, Ted Berrigan, Joe Brainard, Edwin Denby, Larry Fagin, Frank O Hara, Charles North, Ron Padgett, James Schuyler, Anne Waldman, and more.

Giving us for the first time a full picture of the scene these artists and writers shared, writes Carter Ratcliff in his foreword, this book illuminates the unities and tensions, the playfulness and glamour and startling authenticity of their collaborations. Here we not only see evidence of a modus operandi. We also feel the exuberance of a certain modus vivendi, a way of life.

By Jenni Quilter, Edited by Allison Power, with Advisory Editors: Bill Berkson and Larry Fagin, and Foreword by Carter Ratcliff.

Rezensionen
Starred Book. Assembling text, visual art, and their interstices, this sumptuous volume documents the collaborative playfield where the New York School poets and painters thrived. With occasional critical text to guide readers along, the majority of this image-heavy treat goes to ephemera and rarely seen work. The art and poems are kept company by photographs of their creators, collaborating and partying, as well as literary magazine covers, notebook entries, postcards, and similar miscellanea. Although often studied, the school is rarely given such intimate, collective attention, and even figures as familiar as Willem de Kooning and John Ashbery become dynamic and surprising once more in this volume's smart handling.

Vogue

New York Painters & Poets is a fan's collection of ephemera, drawings, snapshots, newspaper reviews and interviews with key artists of the late 1940s-'50s in New York City. Everyone from Willem de Kooning to Jasper Johns is included, all of them partaking of the buttoned-down glamor of New York's explosion of non-representational art and free-form verse. More than nostalgia, the real theme is a way of life that in retrospect seems sweetly non-commercial, if a little addled by drink. The Star Ledger…mehr
