The name stuck, and over the years it has come to designate the paintings and sculptures of artists as different from one another as Jackson Pollock and Barnett Newman, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner and David Smith. The achievements of this generation put New York on the map as the center of the international art world, and constitute some of the twentieth century's greatest masterpieces. From the mid-1940s, under the aegis of Alfred H. Barr, Jr., works by then little-known American artists--including Pollock, de Kooning, Smith, Arshile Gorky and Adolph Gottlieb--began to enter the Museum's collection. These ambitious acquisition initiatives continued throughout the second half of the last century and produced a collection of Abstract Expressionist art the breadth and depth of which is unrivalled by any museum in the world.

Watkins' modernism, which involved experimentation and a radical focus on form, transgressed boundaries of conventional, high-art subject matter. Her focus was daily life and her photographs, whether an exploration of the objects in her New York kitchen or the public and industrial spaces of Glasgow, Paris, Cologne, Moscow, and Leningrad in the 1930s, strike a balance between abstraction and an evocation of the everyday, offering a unique gendered perspective on modernism and modernity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeduced by Modernity makes available for the first time an extensive representation of Watkins' work in high-quality reproduction as part of an exemplary interdisciplinary study that honours an intrepid Canadian artist who refused to be confined by borders, convention, or gender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UTP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44742009159997,"sku":"SALE-UTP-531192","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/4464\/1863\/files\/514W-D9XjwL.jpg?v=1769284782"},{"product_id":"seths-dominion","title":"Seth's Dominion","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781770462656\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16.21 x 1.88 x 22.35 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn extravagantly designed portrait--in comics, photos, and a DVD documentary--of the world-building artist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen you live in an ornamented world where your home is a museum of 1940s design, you don't leave the house without a hat and tie, and your wife owns a barber shop--which you designed--it's hard to imagine letting a documentary about you go to press without constructing an exquisite package for it.

The two quickly began spending weekends together, talking philosophy, Catholic mysticism, and, of course, architecture over wine-soaked picnic lunches.

Alienated and aggrieved, she lent her name to a public campaign against Mies, cheered on by Frank Lloyd Wright. Mies, in turn, sued her for unpaid monies. The ensuing lengthy trial heard evidence of purported incompetence by an acclaimed architect, and allegations of psychological cruelty and emotional trauma.

From Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keeffe, to Jaune Quick-to-See Smith and Xenobia Bailey, this lushly illustrated alphabet picture book presents both famous and underrepresented women in the fine arts from a variety of genres: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and more. Each spread features a simple line of text encapsulating the creator’s iconic work in one word, such as “D is for Dots” (Yayoi Kusama) and “S is for Spider” (Louise Bourgeois), followed by slightly longer text about the artist for older readers who would like to know more. Backmatter includes photos, extended biographies, and discussion questions for budding creatives and trailblazers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtists featured:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMirka Mora, Betye Saar, Helen Frankenthaler, Yayoi Kusama, Kay Sage, Georgia O’Keeffe, Agnes Martin, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Elizabeth Catlett, Judith Leyster, Leonora Carrington, Carmen Herrera, Edmonia Lewis, Maya Lin, Hilma af Klint, Maria Martinez, Gee’s Bend quilters, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, Loïs Mailou Jones, Alice Neel, Helen Zughaib, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Dorothea Lange, Xenobia Bailey, and Maria Sibylla Merian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-link-wrap opened\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"contributors isbn-related 9780593108727 dsktop-links show\"\u003eBy\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw role-A\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMELANIE LABARGE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ws-nw role-I\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCAROLINE CORRIGAN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"#aboutthebook\" id=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"#alsoinseries\" id=\"alsoinseries\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-by-author\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-author-spotlights\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-second-product-detail\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"desktop-praise\" data-return-id=\"mobile-praise\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"#praise\" id=\"praise\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-praise seemoreenable\" height-fold=\"280\" id=\"seemore-2\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44742013485373,"sku":"PRH-108727","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/4464\/1863\/products\/9780593108727.jpg?v=1683827195"},{"product_id":"foursome","title":"Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, Paul Strand, Rebecca Salsbury","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e432 pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.11 x 0.85 x 9.2 inches \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA captivating, spirited account of the intense relationship among four artists whose strong personalities and aesthetic ideals drew them together, pulled them apart, and profoundly influenced the very shape of twentieth-century art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew York, 1921: acclaimed photographer Alfred Stieglitz celebrates the success of his latest exhibition—the centerpiece, a series of nude portraits of his soon-to-be wife, the young Georgia O'Keeffe.

As a child, Jude is sold away and then, by a lucky turn of fate, reunited with her fiercely loving family.
