Measure of Time
Lucinda Barnes, Jacquelynn Baas, ...

University of California, Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive, 2007

In this study of American art, time and motion are fragmented, mechanized, slowed down and sped up so that the last century flies by. Works range from Joseph Stella's Battle of Lights, Coney Island (1915-18) to Shirley Shor's real-time projection Landslide (2004).

Orozco's Disturbing Visions
This handsomely illustrated and designed catalogue is a welcome addition to the Orozco literature in the English language. The images provide a full picture of Orozco's extraordinary artistic activity in the USA from his graphic work, to the easel paintings, and the murals in California, New York and Dartmouth. Most of the volume's 11 essays are solidly researched and well-written with plenty ...

Darren Waterston: Representing The Invisible

Charta, 2007

Astonishing
Whatever I might write about this collection of Waterston's work will pale in comparison to its incredibly astonishing quality. Merely the deep core feeling that seems to exude from every painting would be enough to fill one's mind with a certain dark joy and wonder, but along with the expertise demonstrated by his use of many techniques; his creation of mysterious, complex and gentle undulating ...

An art historian unravels a Buddhist mystery
The best books make us think, by showing relationships between realms we had not thought connected. Just so, Jacquelynn Baas breaks new ground in SMILE OF THE BUDDHA: EASTERN PHILOSOPHY AND WESTERN ART FROM MONET TO TODAY. By exploring the influences of Asian thought in general and Buddhism in particular on European and American artists of the modern era, Baas takes her readers on a ...

The Independent Group: Postwar Britain and the Aesthetics of Plenty

The MIT Press, 1990

The Independent Group, or the IG, as it was called, is best known for having launched Pop Art. But the young artists, architects, and critics who met informally at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts in the early 1950s were actually embarked on a far more subversive and constructive mission than the founding of an art movement. Street-smart, anti-academic, and iconoclastic, they embraced Hollywood and Madison Avenue and rejected the ...

The Art of Joan Brown (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Arts Book)

Karen Tsujimoto, Jacquelynn Baas

University of California Press, 1998

The original Joan Brown
Lots of people copy Joan Brown, maybe not intentionally, but it happens. Unfortunately she died in a freak accident installing one of her works of art so we don't get to see her next creative incarnation. Her life was exciting and interesting and she embodied what is a true artist. Driven and consumed with creative genius. Read this book, and see what it means (and takes!) to be an artist. Then ...

Buddha Mind in Contemporary Art

1 review

University of California Press, 2004

extraordinary
Buddha Mind in Contemporary Art is such an extraordinary book that, as an art critic, I can only applaud its editors, Jacquelynn Baas and Mary Jane Jacob, as well as the writers who participated in its creation. The innovative concept of exploring artistic responses to, or reflections on, Buddhist philosophy and practices, has been dealt with thorough care and inclusiveness. The artist ...
