Soft cover. Condición: Fine. Uncommon exhibit catalog with publisher's press release laid in. As new/unread. Jacob Armstead Lawrence (1917 - 2000) was an American painter known for his portrayal of African-American historical subjects and contemporary life. Lawrence referred to his style as "dynamic cubism", although by his own account the primary influence was not so much French art as the shapes and colors of Harlem. He brought the African-American experience to life using blacks and browns juxtaposed with vivid colors. Lawrence is among the best known twentieth-century African-American painters, known for his modernist illustrations of everyday life as well as narratives of African-American history and historical figures.…

Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "This monograph on Larry Johnson, one of the most important artists to emerge from the L.A. art scene of the 1980s, features works from throughout his career that offer a provocative commentary on American culture. With a unique style that blends drawing, painting, photography, graphic design, and text, Johnson creates photographic works that are sardonic, frequently melancholy or nostalgic, but always sharply focused and pitch perfect. Evoking a variety of artistic traditions, from Japanese woodblock prints to Pop art, many of his pieces incorporate written texts, either original or appropriated from disparate sources, including gossip magazines, pulp fiction, black-box flight recorders, and rock lyrics. Johnson's works reveal his fascination with celebrity culture, and particularly the juncture of aspirations and fantasies with reality. Hollywood stars and rock musicians, political figures and heroes are often the subjects of his finely tuned visual narratives. Johnson casts his subtle, witty gaze on the seemingly mundane aspects of contemporary culture, particularly that of Southern California during the latter half of the twentieth century, and comes up with brilliant-and thoughtprovoking- observations. This volume, which accompanies a major retrospective of the artist's career at the Hammer Museum, features essays by Russell Ferguson, Lee Edelman, and Esther Leslie, and an interview with the artist by David Rimanelli." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: I had never seen anything like it, by Russell Ferguson; Queer coincidence: Larry Johnson and the art of wanting, by Lee Edelman; Larry Johnson: highlights of concentrated camp: interview with the artist, by David Rimanelli; Lines in the landscape, by Esther Leslie.
