This book exhibits work by acclaimed painter Donald Baechler (b. 1956), as recently shown in the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York. In a series of large paintings known as the Black Flowers, Baechler's painterly grandeur comes to life in these energetic and expressive depictions of almost silhouetted still lives. Deceptively rudimentary, these works in fact have a great deal of precedence in American art, as the forward by critic Carter Ratcliff illustrates.
