This new study focuses on Bloom's paintings and drawings of autopsies, anatomical studies, and archaeological excavations from the 1940s and 1950s. He often returned to these subjects throughout his career, using thickly applied paint in rich colors as he aspired to present both the physical and the spiritual on canvas. Insightful curatorial essays accompanied by beautiful full-color reproductions explore this difficult but compelling work, considering themes such as the life, death, and rebirth of Bloom's artistic reputation; the growing divide between figuration and abstraction at this defining moment of American art; earlier artistic traditions of representing mortality; the relationship between these works and Bloom's Judaism, interest in eastern religions, and belief in reincarnation; and the artist's desire to find beauty and meaning within death and decay. In these drawings and paintings, as Bloom himself asserted, "the paradox of the harrowing and the beautiful [can] be brought into unity." -- publisher's description. 600 10 $a Bloom, Hyman, $d 1913-2009 $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a Bloom, Hyman, $d 1913-2009. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01727392 600 17 $a Bloom, Hyman, $d 1913- $2 gnd 650 0 $a Death in art $v Exhibitions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102071 650 7 $a 20.01 history of the art sciences. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077593669 $2 nbc 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026098 700 1 $a Hirshler, Erica E., $e contributor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr88000784 700 1 $a Slipp, Naomi, $e contributor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2013182824 710 2 $a Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, $e issuing body. $e issuing body. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79058410 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014318.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41CFBBF00B6411EAA467CE0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
