In the first major book on this influential feminist artist, art historian Hayden Herrera explores Snyder's beautiful mixed-medium works and their fascinating combination of personal iconography, female imagery, aggressive brushstrokes, and accomplished formalism. Gorgeously illustrated with 140 images, this lush volume includes decades of Snyder's most important work, including Vanishing Theatre/The Cut, Moonfield, Oratorio, Should You Wonder , and Women Make Lists . This rich collection is sure to become the definitive look at an artist whose unique vision has inspired art lovers for decades. The release of this book accompanies a traveling retrospective exhibition of Snyder's work that is scheduled to open at The Jewish Museum in New York in August 2005.
Joan Snyder Reviews
-
The visionary work of Joan Snyder makes it abundantly clear that painting is not dead. Her abstracts truly flirt with the "real world."
There is a child-like innocence about her work, and there is an emotional gulf that separates her from ordinary reflection and ordinary experience. She is quite astute when it comes to the translation of mood and bodily energy.
This book is something to enjoy with a magnifying glass. -
Actually worked with this artist! Hayden Herrera is an wonderful writer and art historian. Her biography of Arshile Gorky is a must read for Modern Art lovers. Joan Snyder has true artistic vision and a delight to work with!
