About This Item
Austin: University of Texas Press, 2005. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 152 p. With an essay by Eleanor Heartney. 62 plates and 32 textual figures, including many in full color. A prolific artist with a prodigious gift for stimulating the creativity of others, James Surls (b.1943) is one of the most important sculptors working in America today. His art blends natural forms created of wood, steel, and bronze with sophisticated, sometimes edgy imagery and content to explore fundamental dualities and paradoxes - male and female, joyous optimism and anxious foreboding, conscious rationality and unconscious intuition. This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanied an exhibition of the same name at the Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston, captures an extraordinarily creative period in Surls's career - the two decades he lived and worked in Splendora, Texas. Signed by Sultan on the title page. Quarto. Pictorial boards. The dust jacket is a touch faded along the spine; else near fine. Signed by Author.
