It's very Pop, the shape--as Pop as Mickey Mouse. This is how artist Nate Lowman describes the map of the United States, the subject of the 22 paintings that are the focus of this volume. The Maps, all produced by cutting fragments of studio drop-cloth into the shape of individual states and combining them, offer varied iterations on the same form. They explore the effects of chance, gesture, and history, merging erratic splatters and stains with allusions to American quilt-making, Pop art, and politics. Infusing the geometries of the United States with a gritty, gestural tactility, they expound on the complexities and contradictions of the American way. Full-color plates and generous details are interspersed with poems and excerpts reflecting on America by John Berryman, Langston Hughes, Francis Scott Key, Emma Lazarus, Malcolm R. Mooney, and others. In his introductory essay, Paul Alexander quotes from an interview with the artist as he speaks about the works' relationship to the contemporary political landscape. Have we gone from optimism to pessimism? Lowman asks. I don't know. But I do know the America we live in now is a pendulum that will change.
Taking humanity and popular culture as his subject matter, Nate Lowman (born 1979) approaches these themes as an active participant in the collective American experience. Underscoring this is desire: a longing for something or someone, or a wish for something to happen. The duality inherent in desire is contained in Lowman’s use of well-known images whose meanings are both instantly recognizable and constantly in flux. Appropriated, relatable images and language from American pop culture and its 24-hour news cycle form a narrative and tell part of the American story. Angels, poppies, hearts, pine-tree air fresheners, smiley faces, iconic celebrities, crosses and news articles—all presented through the lens of desire—confront viewers with the things of modern life that are often left unsaid and unexamined. For more than a decade, Nate Lowman has produced paintings, sculptures, and (often salon-style) installations that process and represent the unfolding human experience in a visual environment of endlessly proliferating public media archives. Re-presenting and reframing techniques of image reproduction as painterly practice, Lowman constructs narratives condensed in layers of studio techniques, including printing, cropping, projecting, cutting, staining, repurposing, lacquering, stripping and stretching. His paintings explore the capacity of images to mediate between the personal and the universal in cycles of decay and renewal. Published on the occasion of the Aspen Art Museum’s exhibition of the New York–based artist, Nate Lowman is the first comprehensive monograph on the artist to date.

Sinossi di "NATE DAL CUORE"Questo libro, Nate dal cuore, vuole essere un insieme di parole, di frasi, di pensieri...che raccontano quello che sono. E' il cuore il motore unico e solo della mia vita e, per le persone che spesso me lo chiedono, potrebbe essere la chiave di lettura di una vita ricca di senso, di gratitudine, di gentilezza, di sorrisi, di serenit , di pace, di amore..."La longevit del cuore", si potrebbe chiamare, che, inevitabilmente, si esprime in ogni espressione del corpo, a cominciare dal non dimostrare gli anni che si hanno. "Gaetano, ma non invecchi mai...sembri sempre pi giovane...qual il segreto?" - mi si chiede spesso - "Ho un trucco formidabile, vecchio da quando nato il mondo: mi faccio guidare dal cuore" - rispondo con convinzione.Genuinit per me, ingenuit per qualcuno, forse semplicit ...forse stupidit ...mah Io sono fatto cos Dunque sensazioni ed emozioni sono state e sono per me linfa per le pratiche di una buona vita, degna di tale nome, per rispetto verso Colui che ce l'ha donata e verso Colui che la vita. Non una sola parola stata scritta tanto per mettere inchiostro su carta, ma ciascuna parte del mio cuore, sangue del mio sangue, cellula di comunione, segno di gratitudine, luogo di rispetto, fonte di energia, ...Le mie poesie, e con esse le mie prose, sono, quindi, espressione di emozioni e sentimenti vissuti in particolari momenti e circostanze e, ti assicuro, caro lettore, davvero dettate dalle genuinit di un cuore desideroso di darsi... Sono nate tutte di getto Nessuna stata ragionata per meglio presentarsi. Perch allora un libro? Semplicemente per donarlo a chi, in un certo qual modo, stato, per un verso o per l'altro, direttamente o indirettamente, coinvolto in questo vortice di amore e, nello stesso tempo, per offrire anche agli altri, umilmente, la possibilit di conoscermi e rendersi partecipi del mio mondo, accogliendo benevolmente queste mie pagine, nella speranza che anche ad essi possano comunicare ed ispirare quei valori di sentimenti, di pensieri e di vita dai quali esse son nate.

"The captivating tale of one of history's best-kept secrets continues in this historical fiction duology--showcasing one of the Old West's most heroic figures. When Nate Champion strikes out to Wyoming Territory and discovers the allure of the Powder River Basin as an ideal location for raising cattle, he builds up a bankroll by hiring out to the cattle companies already established there. Earning a reputation as a top hand, a uniquely gifted horse trainer, and a man of his word, he becomes one of the few men in the territory whom small ranchers can trust. After the Wyoming Stock Growers Association begins eliminating small ranchers through ghastly executions, the classic battle lines form between the rich man and the commoner. Because Nate is trusted, he becomes a rallying point for the oppressed--leading to his name topping a list of inconvenient ranchers whom the barons want to see removed from the face of the Earth."

Prospective father, you have come this far, and from the fact that you are in this situation means that you are not known for pulling out this deep in. This book has been written by an Irish writer, Nate McCartney, and chronicles his thought process in a comedic and oftentimes heartfelt fashion, but mainly comedic. Alongside "Pregahontous", Nate tells us how a baby changed him from a drinking, smoking, arse of a man, to a Father.
Young Natalie is not your typical farmer's daughter. Ever since the day of her birth, her father has thought of her as a boy, and he's treated her just like he might treat a son. At six, Nate (as she prefers to be called) is already resilient, strong, and even stubborn at times. She's also impressively independent and surprisingly shrewd, traits that will serve her well in life. As a child of the Appalachian Hills of Pennsylvania, she is by nature guarded, but she is also blessed with a strong work ethic. Above all, she is smart. As she grows and her life leads her away from the farm, Nate begins to discover who she really is. A student of engineering with dreams of entrepreneurial freedom, she thinks she has it all figured out. The problem is-life has other ideas. Tested to her limits on more than one occasion, she has quite the adventure ahead of her, a bumpy and unforgettable journey from the farm to the boardroom.
