Twinka Thiebaud and the Art of Pose
(Autor) Henry MillerSeventy years, thirty-three artists, one subject. The first publication to highlight Twinka Thiebaud's career as an artist's model. Over the course of seven decades, Twinka Thiebaud has collaborated with more than thirty artists working in photography, painting, and drawing. This is the first catalog to explore her body of work as an artist's model alongside developments in photographic techniques and technology, and the role of nature in defining West Coast experimentation. Alongside 120 paintings, drawings, and photographs that date from the 1940s through 2022, this catalog's essays and interviews investigate the body/nature relationship in photographs of Thiebaud from the 1970s and 2000s, as well as her collaborations with such artists as Wayne Thiebaud, Judy Dater, Elizabeth Opalenik, and John Reiff Williams.
Henry Miller
Henry Miller was an American writer known for his semi-autobiographical novels that challenged conventional literary and moral standards. His most notable works include "Tropic of Cancer," "Tropic of Capricorn," and "The Rosy Crucifixion" trilogy. Miller's writing style was characterized by its raw, unfiltered language and exploration of taboo subjects such as sex and existentialism. He was a key figure in the development of the modernist and postmodernist literary movements, influencing writers such as Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski. "Tropic of Cancer" is considered his most famous work, and it was initially banned in the United States for its explicit content before eventually becoming a literary classic. Henry Miller's contributions to literature continue to inspire readers and writers alike with his bold and uninhibited approach to storytelling.
