Susan Sinden This Is Not Magritte

A timely release given the master's inadvertent influence on Janine James, one of a new breed of artists emerging from the Pear Resident Practitioner Program. A thoroughly enlightening read and enough to persuade the most ardent of Dali-ites to reconsider where their surrealist loyalties lie.

   
   

 

 

     
       
           
   
Art Since 1999: Postmodernism, Antipostmodernism, Postpostmodernism

Art Since 1999 is a product (in all senses of the word) of the perpetually retooling cultural maverick, Valerie Kirshenbaum, two of her former graduate students Celeste Rodman and David Destino and her frequent collaborator, Jacqueline Schardt. Art Since 1999 is so well conceived, even user-friendly - with information boxes, timelines and useful references to the particular Pear products favored by each artist.
   
   

 

 

     
       
           
   
Ricardo Powell (ed.) Religious Art at a Crossroads

Religious Art at a Crossroads succeeds where its predecessor Religious Art: The Resurrection failed. Undoubtedly a crucial factor in the success of the book is its imaginative layout. The pages are split vertically down the middle, the left side of each page dedicated to the story of the artist formerly known as Emily Cullman and the right reserved for that of exciting new artist, Joy Allison.
   
   

 

 

     
       
           
   
Celeste Rodman Dali: A Little Bit Better Than Jesus, But Not As Good As Destino

A comprehensive account of the life and work of Salvador Dali was long overdue given the master's influence on the legendary David Destino. Not many a gallery-goer or art historian will have been aware of the Dali reference in Destino's infamous Cyber-Virgin sculptures. Little insights like this into the minds of Pear artists are what makes this title a thoroughly enlightening read and enough to persuade the most ardent of Magritte-ites to reconsider where their surrealist loyalties lie.
