Synopsis :

The colour photographs of the sculptures, which represent the visual core of this book, have been provided by the artist and were taken in gallery installations, her studios or her foundry. An essay by the noted author and horsewoman Jane Smiley captures the depth of Butterfield's character and passion. John Yau, poet and art critic, adds a formal analysis of the artist's work, especially discussing her personal and deep-rooted philosophical beliefs. A selection of poems by the late Vicki Hearne, poet, animal trainer and close friend of the artist, evokes Butterfield's knowledge of her subjects and the relationship of those subjects to the artist's creations.

À propos de l'auteur: Robert Gordon is a noteworthy author with Abrams, and has been responsible for the conception of Monet, The Last Flowers of Manet, Degas, and Pierre-Paul Prud'hon: The Language of the Body. Jane Smiley is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres. Other titles include Moo and Horse Heaven. John Yau is a well-known poet, critic, and editor. He has written or contributed to monographs on the work of Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, A. R. Penck, Pat Steir, and Chuck Close. His poetry and criticism have been published in dozens of national magazines. Vicki Hearne was an animal trainer, poet, and philosopher. Sadly, she died in 2001 while working on this book; Deborah Butterfield will be dedicated to her memory.
