Forming Abstraction


Book Description

Art produced outside hegemonic centers is often seen as a form of derivation or relegated to a provisional status. Forming Abstraction turns this narrative on its head. In the first book-length study of postwar Brazilian art and culture, Adele Nelson highlights the importance of exhibitionary and pedagogical institutions in the development of abstract art in Brazil. By focusing on the formation of the São Paulo Biennial in 1951; the early activities of artists Geraldo de Barros, Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Pape, and Ivan Serpa; and the ideas of critics like Mário Pedrosa, Nelson illuminates the complex, strategic processes of citation and adaption of both local and international forms. The book ultimately demonstrates that Brazilian art institutions and abstract artistic groups—and their exhibitions of abstract art in particular—served as crucial loci for the articulation of societal identities in a newly democratic nation at the onset of the Cold War.

Victorian & Edwardian Natal


Book Description

This collection of photographs is not a pictorial history of the Colony of Natal - it is essentially an entertainment; glimpses of the activities and events in the daily lives of ordinary people. While this book does not claim to be a pictorial history, photographs from the past are part of the historical record and, while some pictures are complete in what they depict, others need some background historical knowledge to be fully appreciated. Therefore the book provides a brief outline of some of the more important events in the history of the colony. They have been given at intervals in the book and it is hoped that they will serve to remind readers of the events of the period covered by the photographs. Secondly where possible a caption has been used against each photograph and a quotation by a contemporary or authoritative author.
