Pioneering artists such as Miriam Schapiro (1923-2015), Joyce Kozloff (b. 1942), Robert Kushner (b. 1949), and others appropriated patterns, frequently from non-Western decorative arts, to produce intricate, often dizzying or gaudy designs in media ranging from painting, sculpture, and collage to ceramics, installation art, and performance. This dazzling book showcases an astonishing array of works by more than 40 artists from across the United States, examining the movement's defiant adoption of art forms traditionally viewed as feminine, craft-based, or otherwise inferior to fine art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In addition to offering an overview of the Pattern and Decoration movement as it is commonly recognized, this volume considers artists of the period who are not typically associated with the movement. Rethinking the significance of patterns and the decorative in postwar American art, this panoramic view provides new insights into abstraction, feminism, and installation art. Essays explore the movement's feminist methods and values, including Miriam Schapiro's \"femmage\" practice; its impact on contemporary abstract painting; and its relationship to postmodern architecture and design. Artist biographies, an exhibition history, and reprints of historically significant writings further establish \u003ci\u003eWith Pleasure\u003c\/i\u003e as the most expansive publication on the subject. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 27, 2019-May 11, 2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHessel Museum of Art, Bard College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (June 26-November 28, 2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300239947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300239942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.90w x 1.30d","brand":"Anna Katz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992918982911,"sku":"9780300239942","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92ddff59-7bf8-4af8-8b5c-5fe22c6567b0.jpg?v=1683321532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-pleasure-anna-katz-9780300239942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
