Maria Bartuszova ISBN: 9781849766777 (HB - E) € commander liste d'envies This exquisite book dedicated to Maria Bartuszová (1936-96) will introduce readers to the ethereal and other-worldly forms that dominate her oeuvre as well as exploring her influence in a broader global and political context. With around 100 works, many rarely exhibited before in the UK, the major retrospective that the book accompanies will highlight the artist's pioneering abstract sculptures, and will explore the experimental methods of her beautifully contorted, organic shapes and forms. Interested in biomorphology and how she could use unique casting methods to create simultaneously solid and delicate works, this publication celebrates the fragile and corporeal, the soft and the solid; and provides the perfect introduction to the artist with seminal texts recognising her legacy of experimental and abstract sculptural works produced predominantly in the context of socialist Czechoslovakia.
