4.9/5 (31763 ratings)

Description:Catherine Hale: Between the Spirit and the Dust presents the most comprehensive perspective on the distinctive art practice of the 84-year-old New Brunswick artist Catherine Hale. In his extensive essay "The Gothic Imagination of Catherine Hale", Terry Graff explores the artist’s longstanding penchant for the aesthetics and culture of death. He writes: "Hale’s art is characterized by a dark, sublime beauty that wouldn’t seem out of place amongst the imagery of a contemporary Goth sub-culture. Solemn altar forms and shrines, black veils, and casket-like structures transport the viewer to a symbolic funerary realm. The faded ruins of history, the Victorian cult of mourning, and the secrets of the grave are intimated through careful juxtaposition of discarded objects and antique lace from a bygone era." He goes on to say that Hale's art "poses a critical challenge to a contemporary society that increasingly reinforces denial and avoidance of one of the most essential existential facts of human existence, the inevitability of the 'dying of the light'.”Illustrated with numerous images of the artist's work, Catherine Hale: Between the Spirit and the Dust was produced by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery to accompany the exhibition of the same title on view at the Gallery from June 30 to September 11, 2011.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
