About the Item
Deep Design: Nine Little Art Histories by Libby Lumpkin.
January 1, 1995
In nine ambitious essays of uncommon erudition, art historian Libby Lumpkin constructs quirky condensed histories that suggest an alternative approach to art writing -- strangely intelligent and wildly spirited. She argues that post-atomic New Mexico has become this nation's repository for popular ideas of redemptive nature; that Western culture's denial of chance and contingency accounts for much of today's academic cottage industries; and that the persona of the showgirl, whose origins she traces to ancient Assyria, might serve as the emblem for a feminism grounded in the social relations of power. Even the ubiquitous "smiley face" attracts her analysis in an imaginative iconography of the smile from the art of archaic Greece and first-century India to Leonardo da Vinci and Andy Warhol.
Los Angeles, CA: Art Issues Press, 1999. First edition. Softcover. 126 pages. Includes two sections of color illustrations along with stories by Lumpkin.
This is a beautiful art book soft cover.

- Edwin and Mary Scheier Signed Mid-Century Modern Glazed Ceramic Smiley Face BowlBy Edwin and Mary ScheierLocated in Studio City, CAA gorgeously glazed pottery bowl by famed American master ceramist couple Mary and Edwin Scheier. The piece radiates in the light. The bowl is footed and has a beautiful brown-green tenmoku-like glaze. There is a smiley face at the center of the bowl - perhaps by chance in the making but likely placed there by the Scheier's in a moment of whimsy. The work is signed on the base with their traditional incised signature. Would be a great addition to your midcentury and modern ceramics/art collection or eye-catching stand-alone piece. A very unique and clearly special work overall. The Scheier's work can be found in countless collections and museums including: The Art Institute of Chicago...Category
