Dream-inspired book covers for imaginary pulp novels by Americana connoisseur-bricoleur Jim Shaw
Since the 1970s, American artist Jim Shaw (born 1952) has used his multimedia artistic practice as a means of exploring and exploiting pop-culture iconography. This publication focuses on one of the key series in Shaw’s corpus, in which he draws inspiration from the Anglo-American graphic design and illustrative tradition of cheap paperback books. Inspired by the artist''s intense dreaming life, the Paperback Covers series (1996–2013) recreates the lurid imagery associated with pulp novels, with vertical canvases that depict fantastical and irreverent imagery: in one, a werewolf in suspenders is struck by an oncoming 18-wheeler; in another, a line of chorus girls dance in front of a vampire and a woman in red as the couple is in engulfed by flames. Though these “books” bear no text, Shaw’s paintings evoke exciting narratives within a single image. All the inventoried Paperback Covers are collected in this softcover volume along with a text by Charlie Fox.

Personnalité atypique et iconique du milieu artistique californien, Jim Shaw (né en 1952 à Midland, Michigan, vit et travaille à Los Angeles) partage avec Paul McCarthy et Mike Kelley un même désir de produire une œuvre plastique visant à explorer le côté obscur d'une société américaine conformiste et standardisée. Ses investigations critico-hallucinatoires puisent leur inspiration dans une culture vernaculaire en-deçà des catégories établies par l'histoire de l'art (tableaux d'amateurs récupérés dans des brocantes, objets de cultes populaires, travaux d'étudiants, affiches de films, etc.). Ces objets s'inscrivent dans un réseau de significations multiples qui ne cessent d'affaiblir l'autorité symbolique de l'œuvre d'art et constituent, par le biais de dispositifs narratifs auxquels le spectateur est invité à prendre part, autant de fragments d'une histoire à la fois personnelle et collective.
