Sinopsis
Still in full development and likely to become one of the most typical representatives of Australian figurative painting, Stewart MacFarlane is a notable contributor to the creation of an Australian identity. Dramatic, colourful, and sometimes shocking, MacFarlane's paintings uncover the intense human dramas that run beneath the civilized order of society. In a framework of stark realism - a realism where recognizable Australian cityscapes, superbly evoked, sum up all Western urban life - the artist suddenly lets loose a surreality of human gesture and emotion, a cryptic enactment that seizes the viewer with its potency.
Each of MacFarlane's canvases holds a self-contained design: a woman, or a man, or both together, at a moment in life when the dreams and desires of erotic love have sharply conflicted with reality. Each canvas thus highlights a typical problem of modern sexual relations. But assessed as a group, these pictures go even further, for they span the entire socio-psychology of contemporary life.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Large hardcover with dust jacket. Inscribed and signed by the author. 4to (8 x 10.25 in.). Rich blue cloth with stamped gilt titling on the spine. In good shape with no scratches or stains. Light chafing on the bottom edge and corners. Nice bronze end-papers. Strong binding. The blue dust jacket features two paintings by the artist. It is a bit roughed up on the edges and has a closed separation on the rear. The narrative on MacFarlane and his work is extensive, perhaps more than the casual observer will read. As with all visual artists the images are what count. These are all in color. The painter's style is based on realism but moves into the psyche with expressionistic touches. Intense, even a little disturbing at times. Not ordinary, for sure. 55 Plates are featured and listed in the rear section along with a biography and index. Mr. Macfarlane wrote a short note to "Wesley" (fellow artist Wesley Rusnell of Taos, NM) and signed it on the half-title page. Inscribed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 001659
