Soft cover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Robert Colescott (b. 1925) has been fearlessly plumbing contemporary social and political issues to create compelling and provocative works of art for over fifty years. Born in Oakland, California, Colescott received his BA and MFA degrees from the University of California at Berkeley and studied for a time in Paris on the G.I. Bill with Fernand Léger. Colescott's paintings explore often taboo issues of race, sexuality, and politics with riotous color, unfettered brushstrokes, expressively distorted forms, and a healthy dose of wit and sarcasm. Coming of age during the rise of Abstract Expressionism in the early 1950s, Colescott ultimately rejected non-objectivity, choosing to adopt a highly expressive figurative style. In the 1970s, Colescott began reinterpreting iconic images from the history of art, including Jan Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait (1432, National Gallery of Art, London) and Emanuel Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), provocatively replacing white figures with caricatured black ones. Colescott moved on to treat complex human narratives, with subjects ranging from urban violence to the societal challenges posed by racial mixing. Some of his most recent works employ a more abstract aesthetic, conveying meaning through swelling form and powerful color. Colescott's work was recently the subject of a ten-year survey by Meridian Gallery in San Francisco. The Telfair's exhibition, which will be accompanied by a handsome catalogue, expands upon this survey to consider some important examples from the artist's early career, including his late 1970s appropriations of iconic paintings. Colescott is represented in many prominent public collections including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and many others. In 1997, he became the first African American artist to serve as the sole representative of the United States at the Venice Biennale. 53pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 2083
