DOWNLOAD EBOOKYes, you seem to have been anything but an iconophile in your enterprise which is piled as high with words on one side as with images on the other. Robert Morris, “Professional Rules” By investigating the prolific oeuvre of Robert Morris via the prism of writing, this collection of essays provides an incisive lens into the work of a central figure in the visual arts since the 1960s, associated in turn with minimalism, postminimalism, conceptualism, and land art. Morris has often been labeled a theorist, although his writing mobilizes a wide variety of genres. He has espoused the style of art criticism, the verve of the polemic, as well as the forms of prose fiction and autobiography. But beyond his writerly craft, he has incorporated text into prints, sculptures, performances, installations, weaving a tight net between text and visual practice. This book brings together contributions from art historians, literary scholars, philosophers, filmmakers, and writers to shed light on an important yet overlooked aspect of Morris’ work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this biography, the acclaimed author of Sons of Providence, winner of the 2007 George Wash- ington Book Prize, recovers an immensely important part of the founding drama of the country in the story of Robert Morris, the man who financed Washington’s armies and the American Revolution. Morris started life in the colonies as an apprentice in a counting house. By the time of the Revolution he was a rich man, a commercial and social leader in Philadelphia. He organized a clandestine trading network to arm the American rebels, joined the Second Continental Congress, and financed George Washington’s two crucial victories—Valley Forge and the culminating battle at Yorktown that defeated Cornwallis and ended the war. The leader of a faction that included Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Washington, Morris ran the executive branches of the revolutionary government for years. He was a man of prodigious energy and adroit management skills and was the most successful businessman on the continent. He laid the foundation for public credit and free capital markets that helped make America a global economic leader. But he incurred powerful enemies who considered his wealth and influence a danger to public "virtue" in a democratic society. After public service, he gambled on land speculations that went bad, and landed in debtors prison, where George Washington, his loyal friend, visited him. This once wealthy and powerful man ended his life in modest circumstances, but Rappleye restores his place as a patriot and an immensely important founding father.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis catalogue brings together for the first time 81 of Robert Morris's Blind Time Drawings, selected from the six series that make up the corpus of this work to which Morris has dedicated more than 30 years. The entire range is present from the early drawings of 1973 up to the Moral Drawings of 2000, with a particular emphasis on the fourth series, a group of works inspired by the writings of the philosopher Donald Davidson. Visually striking, the Blind Time Drawings, as the name implies, were executed by the artist with his eyes covered. Consisting of stark black-and-white contrasts, explosions of graphite, and obsessive markings that move organically throughout the page, the works are anything but haphazard. Morris followed a strict plan when doing the works, and his writing, which describes his process, is instrumental to understanding them. In addition, these works are placed within the context of Morris's Minimalist and Conceptualist masterpieces such as Card File (1962), Mirrored Cubes (1965) and Portland Mirrors (1977).
Robert Morris and Angst

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBoth as an artist and as a theorist, Robert Morris (b. 1931) has challenged prevailing ideas about art and culture. He is best known as the father of Minimal Art. His contributions to virtually every postwar movement since Abstract Expressionism are significant. However, he has remained independent of any particular affiliation. Morris has produced art ranging from choreographed dances, performances, audio and video recordings (depicting the processes of his artmaking itself), to sculptures, installations, paintings, prints, and site-specific outdoor projects in Europe and America, while regularly adding to a body of influential critical writings. His enduring interest in the process of artmaking, materiality, and perception has channeled his investigations into a multiplicity of media types and art forms, which is indeed remarkable. Robert Morris and Angst examines the thematic and artistic consistency found throughout Morris's art despite its visual diversity. Within the context of a representative number of his works, Nena Tsouti-Schillinger, breaking new ground, investigates Morris's angst and the underlying related idea of dualism. Throughout Morris's twists and turns, his works share a common core; he keeps transforming his lifelong subjectphysical and mental conflictwith a remarkable physical immediacy. Whether revered or reviled, idolized or misunderstood, Morris has transformed the face of modern art and the philosophy behind it. 47 color illustrations, 53 black-and-white illustrations, index, bibliography.
