David A. Doheny

National Trust for Historic Preservation
2006

Throughout his long and remarkable lifetime, David E. Finley (1890-1977) made brilliant contributions to the cultural life of this country. Yet less than thirty years after his death, his name is barely known. In ""David Finley: Quiet Force for America's Arts"", biographer David Doheny revitalizes Finley's legacy, presenting the compelling story of his life and incorporating fascinating excerpts from recently discovered private journals, published here for the first time. As the first director of the National Gallery of Art, founding chairman of the board of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and a key player in creating the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., Finley used his matchless contacts and legendary powers of persuasion to establish institutions that today preserve and display masterpieces of western European and American art, a rich heritage of architectural properties across the United States, and an exceptional visual record of notable figures in American history. In addition, Finley's distinguished leadership of the Roberts Commission, which protected the art and architectural monuments during World War II, stands as a landmark in America's cultural maturity. Providing compelling insights into the events and personalities that shaped our nation during the transformative years between the 1920s and 1960s, this book will appeal to scholars and students of history and art.

David and Lee Roy

David and Lee Roy

David L. Nelson

Texas Tech Press,U.S.
2011
sidottu
They were little more than boys in the turbulent 1960s when Lee Roy Herron and his high school buddy, David Nelson, signed up for Marine Corps officer training. Decisions during college took the pair in different directions—Lee Roy to the infantry, language school, and the cauldron of Vietnam, David to law school, the JAG office, and eventually to Okinawa. When Lt. Lee Roy Herron was killed on the front lines in February 1969, only two months into his tour of duty, Nelson mourned the tragic loss. Haunted for years afterward, he questioned his own choices, his relative safety, and his backstage role in the conflict while his friend paid the ultimate price. A chance encounter with a retired officer in 1997 spurred Nelson to delve more deeply into Lee Roy's death. What really happened that day on the hillside above A Shau Valley on the Laotian border? A quest to understand his old friend's experience and sacrifice led Nelson to military archives, to the homes of friends and family back in West Texas, and even to battle sites in Vietnam. What he learned caused him to rethink the nature of fate, friendship, and heroism—and touches lives even today. The final chapter in Nelson's journey to honor his fallen friend, David and Lee Roy will resonate with Vietnam veterans, their families, and survivors of any war who carry the memory with them.

David Kynaston: Banker and philanthropist

David Kynaston: Banker and philanthropist

David Kynaston

Hurtwood Press
2022
sidottu
Anthony de Rothschild: Banker and Philanthropist tells the story of the man who influenced modern history. De Rothschild was at the helm of international banking, steering the system from the chaos after the First World War into the modern world. In this evocative new book, historian David Kynaston tells the fascinating story of Anthony de Rothschild (1887–1961). Through access to never previously consulted diaries and letters, a three-dimensional picture emerges of a complex and thoughtful man guiding the City’s most famous merchant bank through the turbulent years between the 1920s and 1950s. In politics he was open-minded and constructive whilst in his philanthropy, not least through his leading role in helping Jewish refugees (especially children) to leave Nazi Germany for England, he was thoughtful and generous. Austere on the surface but warm beneath, impatient equally of fools and idealogues, always searching for how he could contribute to make a better world – Anthony de Rothschild deserves, arguably more than almost anyone else in the twentieth-century City, to be known properly by later generations.

David Hammons/Yves Klein Yves Klein/David Hammons

David Hammons/Yves Klein Yves Klein/David Hammons

Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson

Aspen Art Museum,US
2014
sidottu
This volume offers a compelling examination of the surprising conceptual and visual correspondences between the works of these two pivotal artists known for their innovative practices. Klein (1928-1962) was a major figure in postwar art who opened up new possibilities for material, conceptual and performative expression, often touching on the metaphysical. Hammons (born 1943) is a conceptual artist whose works in performance, installation, sculpture, printmaking and other media confront contemporary realities with an often hard-hitting wit. This publication aims not to draw out any notion of influence or direct correlation between these bodies of work, but rather to elucidate a resonance between two artists who both engage transformative processes to invest the humblest of everyday materials with deep aesthetic significance.

David Levinthal: War, Myth, Desire

David Levinthal: War, Myth, Desire

George Eastman House
2018
sidottu
Since the mid-1970s, New York-based photographer David Levinthal (born 1949) has been exploring the relationship between photographic imagery and the fantasies, myths, events and characters that shape contemporary America's mental landscape. David Levinthal: War, Myth, Desire is the most comprehensive publication ever produced on the artist, containing major contributions to scholarship on the artist by curator Lisa Hostetler and contemporary art specialist Joanna Marsh, as well as commentary by art critic Dave Hickey. The volume is illustrated with examples from all of Levinthal's major series to date--including Hitler Moves East (1972-75), Modern Romance (1983-85), Wild West (1986-89), Desire (1991-92), Blackface (1995-98), Barbie (1997-98), Baseball (1998-2004) and History (2010-15). Levinthal's work has been a touchstone for conversations about theories of representation in photography and contemporary art, and through his work, he has investigated the overlapping of popular imagery with personal fantasy in the contexts of romance, sex, war, history, sports, space and social stereotypes. This publication gives readers the opportunity for the first time to consider the full scope of Levinthal's career as an artist.

David Maljkovic: Also on View

David Maljkovic: Also on View

David Maljkovic; Karsten Wales Lund

Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago
2019
nidottu
Alongside each of his exhibitions, David Maljkovic translates his work into the form of a book, which becomes another medium in the practice of this interdisciplinary artist. For Also on View, he collaborated with designer Toni Uroda to channel the themes and methods of his 2019 solo exhibition at the Renaissance Society. In the book, a rendition of Maljkovic’s public artist talk from the opening night of the exhibition is accompanied by a dynamic array of images. While embracing a wide range of media—including photography, painting, video, sculpture, and various hybrids—the Croatian artist has developed distinctive methods of incorporating and refiguring his own earlier works in new installations. For his exhibition and corresponding publication at the Renaissance Society, Maljkovic revisited elements that originated from previous projects, and gathered them together in a presentation of works tailored to the unique architectural space. Altered photographs, paintings directly on the gallery walls, videos, and sculptures accumulate into a rich and varied collection of works.
