Oh, to Be a Painter! de Virginia Woolf

Oh, to Be a Painter!: Ekphrasis

Autor Virginia Woolf
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 noi 2021

Despite wide interest in Woolf's writings, her circle, and her relationship with the visual arts, there is no accessible edition or selection of essays dedicated to her writings on art. This newest edition in David Zwirner Books's ekphrasis series collects such essays, including "Walter Sickert: A Conversation" (1934), "Pictures" (1925), and "Pictures and Portraits" (1920), formally inventive texts that examine the connection between the literary writer and the visual artist and are innovative in their treatment of ideas about color and modern art as experienced in picture galleries, and which offer insight into contemporaneous debates around "pure form" and "literary" painting. The book will feature an introduction by Claudia Tobin that situates the essays within their cultural contexts.

Notă biografică

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century. In addition to her groundbreaking novels, she was an admired literary critic and authored many essays, letters, journals, and short stories. With her husband, Leonard Woolf, she founded the Hogarth Press, which would publish some of the most important modernist texts of the twentieth century, including her own.

Claudia Tobin is a writer, literary critic, curator, and art historian specializing in the relationship between modern and contemporary literature and the visual arts. She is the author of Modernism and Still Life: Artists, Writers, Dancers (2020) and coeditor of Ways of Drawing: Artists' Perspectives and Practices (2019). She worked on two major exhibitions exploring Virginia Woolf's life and art, Virginia Woolf: Art, Life and Vision (National Portrait Gallery, 2014) and Virginia Woolf: An Exhibition Inspired by Her Writings (Tate St. Ives, Pallant House Gallery, and Fitzwilliam Museum, 2018), and has curated numerous exhibitions on contemporary artists. Tobin was awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the University of Cambridge in 2017 and is a senior research associate at the Intellectual Forum, Jesus College, Cambridge. She is also a visiting fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies, University College London.
