Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Walt Disney Details
From Library Journal This book is the catalog of the Phoenix Art Museum exhibit of the same title. Brilliantly colorful, this well-designed paperback is full of whimsy, fantasy, and the engaging simplicity of its images, the work of three extremely popular American artist/illustrators. The late Haring regarded Andy Warhol and Walt Disney as two of his art heroes. Kurtz, curator of 20th-century art at the Phoenix Art Museum, gathered the works for this show, many previously unseen. Haring's exuberant, lovable cartoon art serves as the glue uniting the work of the three artists. Brief but well-constructed essays on Disney, Haring, and Warhol serve to clarify the role of each in American popular culture. Recommended for academic, museum, and public library collections.- David Bryant, Belleville P.L., N.J.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Read more
Reviews
Great insights into these three amazing artists of the twentieth century are shared in what proves to be more than just a "feast for the eyes".Many beautiful pictures of these artists' works are included. In addition, a wealth of knowledge on both the three artists themselves and their bodies of work have been skilfully put together. The text which inhabits the pages between the pictures of several pieces of art from each artist chosen for the book by the author sheds some light for the reader on how all three became such iconic American artists.
