SUMMARY

With references to the Bible and 17th-century Dutch still-life painting, Vanitas links the works of fourteen contemporary artists to the age-old theme of life's transience. At the same time, it presents these artists in their 20th-century context while exploring the related themes of beauty and death, pleasure and fear, love and loss. The book focuses on contemporary sculpture and installation art using non-traditional forms, materials, and processes.Ravenal, John B. is the author of 'Vanitas Meditations on Life and Death in Contemporary Art', published 2000 under ISBN 9780917046551 and ISBN 0917046552.
