Softcover. An orange softcover book. Pages: (3), 4-45, (1). Profusely illustrated with color images. "Lees works and reworks his drawings and paintings over many years, building up the surfaces and breaking them down, developing what he calls a "sense of presence". He keeps a dated log on each piece (on the front or back) often spanning several years. The drawings in their inks and dry gouaches resemble ancient documents. Covered with notations, these drawings document Lee's artistic journey. His paintings record a similar process: each layer of pigment is slowly built up over time, the sinopia peeking through the encrusted surfaces. Every day objects are invested with extraordinary qualities. A stream, a pond, a head or a bath tub are, as Lees says, his monolithic single subjects. Each has its own monumental presence; each is a distillation in time. The bath tub appears in several paintings in this show. Its shape is reduced, almost circular; and fills the picture plane, looming large like an ancient sacred object that demands our attention. Lees has a love of vaudeville and early animated film, also of jazz and Film Noir and these interests make their way into the drawings and paintings, sometimes with considerable humor. Pompeiian Porky is an excellent example, in which the well-loved cartoon character is worked and reworked over many years and emerges encrusted and peeling like a fading fragment of a Roman fresco. There is an affinity with Asian scroll painters in Lees' handling of condensed space. In the drawings and paintings of the stream that runs behind his home, Lees has recorded its progression from the distant spring, where it is sourced, to the rushing water in the foreground. All of the landscapes in this series document a sense of place and record the experience of time." VG: Exlibrary book. Sticker at the base of the spine. Stamp on the half-title page. Stamp, sticker, and due date card on the back inside cover. Some sunfading to portions of the covers. N° de réf. du vendeur 202896
