Jules de Balincourt in conversation with Bob Nickas -- Beginner\'s mind / Andrea Scott -- Jules de Balincourt / Eric Troncy -- Plates -- Biography and bibliography -- Acknowledgments -- Credits.

Summary: Jules de Balincourt burst onto the art scene in the early 2000s and has been a critical and commercial success since then. What curators and critics saw in the work was a painterly language that was as singular as it was insightful--a faux-naif style to communicate highly developed and sophisticated ideas about the nature of government and communities, no doubt inspired by post 9/11 America as well as the artist\'s very unconventional upbringing in quasi-hippy communes of Southern California in the late 1970s. In this most comprehensive book on the artist\'s work accompanying a major mid-career retrospective, the entirety of the artist\'s oeuvre is considered. Layered throughout the book are Balincourt\'s many reference materials, everything from newspaper clippings to textiles from South America. In a comprehensive essay, Richard Flood addresses the various aspects of the artist\'s work.--Amazon.com.
