As early as 1919, many years before the advent of consumer television and video technology, Wilfred began experimenting with light as his primary artistic medium, developing the means to control and project unique compositions of colorful, undulating light forms, which he referred to collectively as \u003ci\u003elumia\u003c\/i\u003e. Manifested as both live performances on a cinematic scale and self-contained structures, Wilfred's innovative displays captivated audiences and influenced generations of artists to come. This publication, the first dedicated to Wilfred in over forty years, draws on the artist's personal archives and includes a number of insightful essays that trace the development of his work and its relation to his cultural milieu. Featuring a foreword by the celebrated artist James Turrell, \u003ci\u003eLumia\u003c\/i\u003e helps to secure Wilfred's rightful place within the canon of modern art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Yale University Art Gallery \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYale University Art Gallery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/17\/17-07\/23\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmithsonian American Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/06\/17-01\/07\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Art Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574205857943,"sku":"9780300215182","price":4703.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300215182.webp?v=1774894869","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lumia-thomas-wilfred-and-the-art-of-light-9780300215182","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
