Costa dissects enamelled street signs, cuts them up, smoothes them off and reassembles the pieces by welding them onto large metal plaques to create works of extraordinary originality. The result is striking, as shown in this colourful monograph. Some are figurative, the cousins of Pop art, infused with a personal element, as they include tragic or comical moments and figures that have influenced the sculptor during his lifetime: the cyclist Tom Simpson, the Beatles, and Josephine Baker. Other works flirt with abstraction derived from Cubism and the mechanical music of Edgar Varese. All display freedom, movement, energy, and the interplay of primary colours. Whether small in size or imposing triptychs, the works of Fernando Costa achieve a rare feat: imbuing metal with emotion."-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Bilingual text in French and English. 600 10 $a Costa, Fernando, $d 1972- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Artists $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sculptors $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Welded sculpture $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Street signs. 650 0 $a Traffic signs and signals. 650 0 $a Found objects (Art) 650 0 $a Scrap metals $x Recycling. 650 0 $a Recycling (Waste, etc.) in art. 650 0 $a Art metal-work $z France. 650 0 $a Collage, French. 650 7 $a Art metal-work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815584 650 7 $a Art, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816615 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Collage, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00867096 650 7 $a Found objects (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933256 650 7 $a Recycling (Waste, etc.) in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904444 650 7 $a Scrap metals $x Recycling. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01109293 650 7 $a Sculptors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01109473 650 7 $a Street signs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134714 650 7 $a Traffic signs and signals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01154277 650 7 $a Welded sculpture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01173555 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hel-Guedj, Johan-FreÌdeÌrik, $e author. 700 1 $a Stroud, Timothy, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE59B330586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
