About This Item
Whitney, David [Editor]; Pandiscio, Richard [Designer]; Text by Liebmann, Lisa. From the d.j. flap: "David Salle rose rapidly to prominence as the enfant terrible of New Painting, the return of artists to figurative painting on canvas that became one of the hallmarks of the 1980's. In an age of feminism and gender sensitivity, Salle remains controversial for his depiction of the female body. Effusing postmodern strategies of appropriation, irony and subversion of sentiment, his signature of diptych canvasses of the female nude restate the essence of figurative painting while forsaking its idealized conventions.
This first full-scale monograph on the artist covers his career from 1979 to the present (1994). Accompanying more than 120 color plates of Salle's work is a unique combination of biography and catalog."
NOTE: most of the d.j. is missing, but the front and rear flaps are laid in.
Large heavy book, will require extra postage.
