Sharyn Udall's lively account of the quirky editor, poet, journalist, diarist and printer Walter Willard Spud Johnson focuses especially on brilliant and diverse artists-D. H. Lawrence, Mary Austin, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Witter Bynner, Georgia O'Keeffe and John Marin among them-whom he befriended and published. Together they helped to create a new voice for the Southwest, fusing high art and low, repudiating the derivative cultural tradition of their predecessors, and bringing the Native American and Hispanic cultural heritage to the attention of the American mainstream. Sharyn Udall is an Art Historian, author, and independent curator who has written, taught and lectured widely on the art of the American Southwest. She takes a special interest in women in the visual arts, in the transnational arts of the Americas, and in interdisciplinary associations among artists and writers. She has lived in the Southwest for most of her adult life and has taught Art History at the University of New Mexico and the College of Santa Fe. Dr. Udall's books include Modernist Painting in New Mexico; Spud Johnson and Laughing Horse; Inside Looking Out: The Life and Art of Gina Knee; Contested Terrain: Myth and Meaning in Southwest Art; O'Keeffe and Texas; and most recently a book and traveling exhibition on three women artists of North America entitled Carr, O'Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own. Her most recent book project is American Art and Dance: A Long Embrace, which looks at the many ways visual artists have helped to define and express American culture through images of the dance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50328551555345,"sku":"CIN0826314694G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53120213188881,"sku":"CIN0826314694VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826314694.jpg?v=1750882550"},{"product_id":"carr-o-keeffe-kahlo-book-sharyn-r-udall-9780300091861","title":"Carr, O'Keeffe, Kahlo","description":"This groundbreaking book compares the art, lives, and achievements of three great artists of the Americas: Emily Carr of Canada, Georgia O'Keeffe of the United States, and Frida Kahlo of Mexico. Each became her country's preeminent woman painter in the twentieth century, and all explored similar issues in their painting. Sharyn Udall shows how each artist searched for an authentic, personal identity and analyses in detail the issues these women faced in relation to nationality, nature, gender, and the creation of a personal mythology. Although their work is visually disparate, certain interesting themes connect Carr, O'Keeffe and Kahlo, and Udall draws on rich archives and uses specific works of art to illustrate the differences and similarities among the three. By viewing their work collectively, she shows how we can illuminate in new ways the art of a continent. This book will serve as the catalogue for \"Carr, O'Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own\", an exhibition on view at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection from 30th June to 9th September 2001. The show then travels to the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe; the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; and the Vancouver Art Gallery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346699686161,"sku":"CIN0300091869G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50512841244945,"sku":"GOR007078986","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51275040751889,"sku":"CIN0300091869VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300091869.jpg?v=1751424887"},{"product_id":"inside-looking-out-book-sharyn-r-udall-9780896723368","title":"Inside Looking Out","description":"American painter Gina Knee (1898-1982) is an important, virtually unacclaimed artist, whose career stretched over five decades and many locations: she worked in the Southwest, the South, California, and New York. Starting in the 1940s she was given solo shows on both coasts, and her work found its way into major public and private collections. She knew and exhibited with some of the major artists of her day: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Tobey, and her third husband Alexander Brook. Yet, like many artists?especially women?working on the fringes of mainstream art movements, her achievements have been nearly forgotten in the rush to create art superstars.This book is an in-depth examination of the artist's life and work, from hesitant artistic beginnings to a culmination in highly original paintings reflecting her modernist and abstract vision. Inside Looking Out reflects too the recent recognition in art history that art is as much a product of culture as it is the elusive, privileged activity of the isolated \"genius.\" Knee's efforts to find the delicate balance between marriage and her life's work is a central theme of the book, traced in her letters and conversations with friends. Her story gives new insight into American art and life at mid-century.Gina modified her schedule to suit the demand of her husband's. They rose early, she prepared his breakfast and packed his lunch, then drove him to work in the pre-dawn rushing traffic. Returning home, she faced the new tasks of managing the household without help. Dishwashing, making beds, dusting, laundry?all the things middle class women took for granted in the 1940s?these were frustrating and time-consuming. \"It just takes hours for me to do what an organized housewife does in one,\" she complained.Gina's affluent upbringing and the ease of finding servants in Santa Fe had accustomed her to hours of time spent as she chose. In wartime Los Angeles, when servants were impossible to find, she suddenly had to do everything, and it soon began to feel burdensome. Forced to sacrifice precious studio time to the demands of a repetitious household routine, she came face to face with a new reality: that she must now give up a certain amount of control over her own life. Money, her own independent income, had formerly given her the luxury of time?time to be used as a man does, in professional activity, freed from enervating household chores. Now the leveling effect of the war reminded her firmly that she was a woman, in a situation where affluence could not buy the uninterrupted freedom to create. Her life was turned upside down, her priorities questioned, her relationship with Ernie [Knee] strained.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51009594720529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009597735185,"sku":"NIN9780896723368","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0896723364.jpg?v=1761389116"},{"product_id":"contested-terrain-book-sharyn-r-udall-9780826316691","title":"Contested Terrain","description":"The Southwest has long beckoned the artist. But too often, art made by Euro-Americans drawn to this region has either 'basked in the sunny celebration of the picturesque, the exotic, and the sentimental' or appropriated the myths and art of Native Americans. In this collection of essays, Udall explores the work of some of he painters who have found stimulus in the ideas, people, and myths of the Southwest, among them Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Page Allen, and Woody Gwyn.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51895584588049,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51895584981265,"sku":"CIN0826316697G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780826316691.jpg?v=1754951769"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sharyn-r-udall.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
