Le livre Sculpture in Painting, écrit par CURTIS PENELOPE DIR., édité par EDITEUR INCONNU coute 45,00 €.
This book presents a range of paintings, from Titian to today, in which sculptures make an appearance. Sometimes these sculptures are historic, sometimes modern sometimes real, sometimes invented. Sometimes they have a straightforward reason for being in the picture, at others they play a complex game within its narrative.
Sculpture has a tendency to be seen as something solid and enduring-or as dead in comparison to the liveliness of painting but here it is as fragile as the paint itself, even if we choose to read it in contrast to the other painted elements. Although the sculpture is often easily marked out, at times it blends so successfully with the painting as a whole that its presence is effectively camouflaged.
The illustrated works include portraits, self-portraits, mythical scenes, life-studies, trompe l'oeil paintings, invented landscapes and portraits of sculpture alone. Each is accompanied by a short essay and the book as a whole begins with three more wideranging essays which introduce the subject.
