Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A beautifully designed monograph surveying the career of artist Glenn Brown. Luxuriously filled with over 56 images, this book documents the bravura of Brown's brushwork and his unique evocation of images. Recognized for his sheer, flat surfaces--intricately described yet deprived of mass, whose ambiguity is heightened further when altering colors, forms, or details taken from such gestural artists as Frank Auerbach, Salvador Dalí, Chiam Soutine, or Vincent Van Gogh--Brown creates a carnivalesque world where the rational and irrational, the beautiful and the grotesque are brought together in a vigorous state of play.

Publié à l\'occasion de l\'exposition Glenn Brown tenue du 15 octobre au 26 novembre 2009 à la Gadosian Gallery.

Bibliogr.: p. 141-146.
