The (moving) pictures generation : the cinematic impulse in downtown New York art and film

Dika, Vera, 1951-

Overview

\"Downtown New York in the late 1970s was filled with a vibrant energy, and with young artists making groundbreaking work. Many, like Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, and Kathryn Bigelow, have become legendary. The (Moving) Pictures Generation is a book about artists who were trained in art schools rather than film schools, but whose fascination was with the \"movies.\" Their art was rife with cinematic reference, not only through \"appropriation,\" as often noted, but by something deeper. Cinematic time, as duration and history, was engaged, as well as body movement, as gesture and pose, and narrative as cultural meaning. Andy Warhol in the 1960s had addressed similar issues. \"-- Provided by publisher.
