Seller's Description:
VG/VG (slight curl to front of dust jacker and light sticker residue) Silver paper boards with black lettering on spine; silver and color illustrated dust jacket with silver outlined lettering and black lettering on spine; 191 pp. Color illustrations throughout. "This beautiful book, the first comprehensive overview of Tooker's work for thirty years, provides a much-deserved and comprehensive examination of the scope of his art. In essays comprising new research and offering fresh insights, it explores his passion for composition, his spirituality, and his questioning of the nature of identity. Featuring superb reproductions of more than eighty of the artist's timeless images, the book also enables readers to see the unexpected ways in which Tooker's work echoes what has been considered avant garde in American art and to appreciate the depth of his resonant, prescient imagery. A major new study of one of America's most influential modern painters, George Tooker celebrates the lifetime achievement of an artist whose work subtly challenges conventional prejudices and captures the essential mystery at the heart of human experience."-dust jacker description.
