Bøger af David Pagel

This is the first major monograph on the paintings of Jim Shaw (b. 1952), whose work blends the reflected cultural climate of his adopted home, Los Angeles with the multi-layered world of American popular culture to create rich dream-like worlds.

Features 15 internationally recognised contemporary artists whose work, in painting, sculpture, installations, and photography based media, belongs neither to a style nor a traditional 'school', but is thematically linked by a visual representation of how stubborn optimism, rather than utopianism, triumphs in the face of daily adversity.
