Editorial Reviews

Review

...Martinez Celayas art operates as a focal point of invisible thoughts and intangible feelings, heightening the viewer experience of his or her own mortality -- Eva Forgacs, Art Issues

A sense of human fragility pervades his work,along with a slowness that invites identification with the patient pace of historical time. -- Leah Ollman, Art in AmericaArt in America

Anne Trueblood Brodzky...has compiled an exhaustive lavishly illustrated tome that speaks to Martinez Celaya basic foreingness, an exile in the world observing, not disspassionately, an existence that he is as much emotional cultural chronicler of as he is participant... -- Carl Hayward, Art Papers


Product Description

Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Whale and Star Press
 
With rare clarity and restraint, Martínez Celaya explores loss, alienation, foreignness and beauty as well as new ways to think about the art object and the problems it raises. What emerges is a body of work radically concerned with meaning. Loss and its transcendence through consciousness is the pervasive theme in Unbroken Poetry: The Work of Enrique Martínez Celaya. Martínez Celaya's world is revealed through an introspective essay by San Francisco writer and curator, Anne Trueblood Brodzky. Drawing from the artist's sketchbooks, personal interviews with the artist and the works of Martínez Celaya, Brodzky describes his impetus and methods in a conceptual volume of exceptional beauty and voice.
 
The artist's disciplined joint pursuit of physics and art fuels conversations with New York artist Donald Baechler and Caltech physicist, Amnon Yariv. In Unbroken Poetry, we are invited to stand close to the visions of Enrique Martínez Celaya, not only to observe and empathize with his world but also to acknowledge the images brought forth from our own.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Alternative, January 14, 2001
I am surprised and disappointed with the reader from Michigan that gave such a bad review to this great book. It is this reader who has the distorting biases not Brodzky. While I did not agree completely with Brodzky's analysis of the work, it is clear that Martnez Celaya is one of most intelligent and serious artists working today. I found the interviews and the comments from the artist revealing and clear. His work is obviously difficult but rewarding to those of us who take the time to think about it. I strongly recommended it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For those who like art that makes them think and feel..., June 14, 2001
By Andrea King (LA, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I find this book, like the majority of the artist's work, to be hauntingly beautiful and profound. Unlike many of his contemporaries in the Los Angeles art world, Martinez Celaya's work, to me, has extraordinary depth and intelligence. He is willing to take risks and isn't into what is hot, trendy or easy but prefers--in his paintings, poems and photographs--to take the viewer or reader to a new place--to a place where there are layers of questions rather than easy answers. Brodzky's book is a fantastic introduction to the work of a phenomenally creative mind and exquisite painter. I highly recommend it.
