[ebooks] Georges Seurat et le pointillisme: Le messie drsquo;un art nouveau (Artistes t. 42) (French Edition) by Theacute;regrave;se Claeys; 50 minutes in Arts-Photography

Description

Working extensively as both artist and scientist; Aldo Giorgini (1934ndash;1994) was one of the first computer artists to combine software writing with early printing technologies. His innovative process involved producing pen-plotted drawings that were embellished by painting; drawing; photography; and screen printing. This biography is the first to uncover the remarkable work and life of an underappreciated artist; providing insights into the innovative methods and computerized techniques he used to weave creations that seamlessly combined technological sophistication with artistic sensibility.Buried manuscripts; documentation; and art taken directly from Giorginirsquo;s former studio in Indiana have been used to tell the story of this digital pioneer. The book explores the artistrsquo;s life as a professor of civil engineering at Purdue University as well as providing a catalog of his artistic contributions. Placing his work in the context of the wider development of computer art; the book also presents a valuable contribution to the history of the field. Giorginirsquo;s papers have been recently transferred to Purdue Universityrsquo;s Virginia Kelly Karnes Archives and Special Collections Research Center; where they will be preserved and made accessible for future researchers of digital media art history. While complete in itself; this book also plays an important role in contextualizing and providing an access point for that collection.
