Synopsis
Published on the occasion of a major new career retrospective, Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like, provides a much-needed, extensive monographic exploration of the art of Marcia Marcus (1928-2025), a strikingly original artist whose contributions have been overlooked.
Marcia Marcus was described as "...eye-poppingly modern" by Penelope Green in her New York Times' obituary published in March 2025 following Marcus's death just weeks before the opening of a group show featuring her work alongside that of her contemporaries Alice Neel and Sylvia Sleigh at the Lévy Gorvy Dayan gallery. Marcus was always most interested in the conceptual aspects of portraiture. She rejected abstraction in favor of producing precise figurative paintings of people, landscapes, and still lifes, suffused with her signature suspenseful quality. And although Marcus's work largely fell into obscurity--unlike the work of her male contemporaries Alex Katz and Philip Perlstein--the recent Lévy Gorvy Dayan gallery group show revealed Marcus to be an artist working way ahead of her time.
This new volume establishes her multifaceted significance: innovative "downtown" artist, creator of unapologetic portraits of self-possessed women, and essential forerunner of figurative painting today.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Published on the occasion of a major new career retrospective, Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like provides a much-needed, extensive monographic exploration of the art of Marcia Marcus (1928-2025), a strikingly original artist whose contributions have been overlooked. My favorite goddess has always been Athena, both because of her virtues and the implied independence that is a result of her power.-Marcia Marcus Eye-poppingly modern commented the New York Times of Marcia Marcus's art in her obituary, published in April 2025. Days later, a long-scheduled exhibition at New York's Levy Gorvy Dayan gallery presented Marcus's work alongside contemporaries Alice Neel and Sylvia Sleigh-a testament to her place among postwar American figurative painters. Over several decades, Marcus's fiercely original paintings challenged the common understanding of postwar American art. In the 1950s, she rejected abstraction in favor of poised figurative paintings of people, landscapes, and still lifes, suffused with her signature suspenseful quality. A vivid presence in Manhattan's downtown art scene and in Provincetown, she was one of the first women to stage a Happening. Prescient, she painted subjects that peers rarely explored-motherhood; male nudes; female role play-years before such topics gained wider currency. While her work later fell into obscurity, its recent reemergence has revealed Marcus to be an artist working way ahead of her time. This new volume establishes her multifaceted significance: innovative downtown artist, creator of unapologetically assertive self-portraits, and essential forerunner of figurative painting today.

Vendeur : Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardback. Etat : New. Headstrong and wry, Marcia Marcus (1928-2025) was a fiercely original artist whose work challenges typical understanding of post-war American art. Rejecting mainstream abstraction, Marcus spent five decades painting what compelled her: languorous male nudes, parenthood, great style-subjects her peers rarely explored-all rendered in her distinctive cool and poised hand. Undaunted by New York's male-dominated art world, she was a vivid presence in downtown Manhattan and Provincetown, pioneering as one of the first women to stage a Happening. Through decades of self-portraiture, she boldly affirmed her own creative voice and upended narrow expectations of gender with wit and defiance.This volume illuminates Marcus's multifaceted significance: innovative artist of post-war New York, creator of radically assertive self-portraiture, and essential forerunner of figurative painting today.
