Modern Wood Sculpture

How does the jazz of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, and Charlie Parker fit into the great tradition of the modern arts between 1920 and 1950? In Jazz Modernism, one of our finest cultural historians provides the answer. Alfred Appel, author of The Annotated Lolita ("superb . . . full of vigor, gems, and stratagems"--Vladimir Nabokov), compares the layering of sex, vitality, and the vernacular in jazz with the paper collages of Picasso, and the vital mix of high and low culture found in Joyce. He shows how the musical construct of jazz was pared down by the masters as sculpture was in Calder's hands or prose in Hemingway's. He makes clear how Armstrong and Waller tore apart and rebuilt Tin Pan Alley material in the way that modernists in the visual arts arrived at wood assemblage and scrap-metal sculpture. He enables us to see that Ellington's "jungle" style was as un-primitive as Brancusi's self-conscious Africanesque sculpture. And along the way, he "recalls" live jazz perform-ances during the 1950s by Armstrong and John Coltrane, among others, and the night Charlie Parker played to a visibly thrilled Igor Stravinsky at Birdland. Making connections as illuminating as they are unexpected, Alfred Appel gives us a brilliant new way of understanding jazz.

All the information a student of sculpture needs in the early stages of training appears here, in a convenient single volume that also offers professional sculptors an invaluable reference. Three years in the preparation, this book synthesizes the author's 30 years of teaching and practicing sculpture. In her clear, conversational, and highly readable manner, she encourages readers to develop their own styles rather than imitate others, insisting only that they build a sound foundation. Her topics include modelling from life, comparative anatomy, modelling and casting a portrait head, drapery, ceramic sculpture, stone and marble carving, wood carving, and bronze casting. Students and other art lovers will find a vast range of inspiring sculpture depicted in these pages, ranging from classic to modern.
