Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Almost 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide and jacketed in a 53 x 37-inch foldout poster of Jim Shaw's deeply disturbing black-and-white oil painting of Ronald Reagan's distorted face (layered with smaller, ghostlike figures of American violence like Charles Manson and Rambo), this darkly riveting limited-edition artist's book contains works from five series of portraits made over the course of the artist's four-decade-long career: the 'Distorted Faces' drawings (1978-85) and paintings (1986-2007); the 'Noir' portraits of 1978; the sketches for Shaw's 'Giant Face' paintings (1992) and other assorted faces from 1993-2006. The format and print quality of this one-of-a-kind publication truly allow Shaw's legendary graphic abilities to shine--particularly in the hyperreal 'Distorted Faces' series. According to Alison M. Gingeras' catalogue essay, 'The jingle-like language of Pop has been transformed into rambling, run-on sentences that describe fragmented ideas, associative thoughts and schizophrenic images. Too strange, too perverse, too lurid, too precise: Shaw is an elusive character that defies categorization. ' Edited by Marc Blondeau, Lionel Bovier, Philippe Davet. Text by Alison M. Gingeras.
