About This Item
New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 2003. Hardcover. VG (Label & few marks from previous gallery owner.). Chocolate brown stamped cloth, brown & color illustrated dust jacket, 239 pp.; 245 plates and figures, 95 bw and 150 color. Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, April 3 to July 20, 2003. This book is the most comprehensive publication to date on the work of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), an important sculptor and a key member of the New York art scene in the first half of the 20th century. Accompanying the first major retrospective of Nadelman's work since 1975, it brings his achievement to a new generation of art enthusiasts. Nadelman fused classical influences with the subject matter and imagery of popular culture. Using bronze, marble, wood, and plaster, he created stylized, curvilinear emblems of modern life whose formal motifs referenced both the antique and the modern. Here, Barbara Haskell presents a fully researched and broad-based examination of Nadelman's art by juxtaposing his elegant drawings with related sculptures, filling a gap in the literature on 20th-century American sculpture. - Publisher.
