A propos de cet article

The format is approximately 10.5 inches by 11.5 inches. 137, [1] pages. No dust jacket present. The illustrated stiff-board cover has some wear and soiling. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (many in color). This is a large, oversized book that if sent outside of the United States would require additional shipping charges. The contents include "Why Apples" Asked Adam by John Himmelfarb; American Truck by Scott Griffin; John Himmelfarb and the Physiognomy of Trucks by Stephen Luecking; Truck Route: The Recent Odyssey of Artist John Himmelfarb by Janet L. Farber; Plates, About the Artist, and Credits. John Himmelfarb (born 1946) is an American artist, known for idiosyncratic, yet modernist-based work across many media. Diverse influences ranging from Miró, Matisse and Picasso to Dubuffet, New York school artists like de Kooning, Guston, and Pop artists inform his work. He often employs energetic, gestural line, dense patterns of accumulated shapes, and fluid movement between figuration and abstraction, using strategies of concealment and revelation to create a sense of meaning that is both playful and elusive. His work is also unified by "a circulating library" of motifs and organizing structures, such as geographic and urban mapping, abstracted natural and industrial forms, and language systems. Assessing him at mid-career, New Art Examiner's Andy Argy wrote "Himmelfarb's art is original [.] His unabashed immersion in graphic art, emphasizing drawing over painting, has earned him an important place among artists who make drawings into major aesthetic statements." First documentation of this universally American vehicle by award-winning artist John Himmelfarb. Of interest to both automobile collectors and American art collectors. John Himmelfarb's work hangs in prominent American and international collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, and The British Museum of Art, London. This book explores the iconic American vehicle - the truck - through the sculpture, paintings, prints, and drawings of Chicago-based artist John Himmelfarb. Trucks: Recent Works by John Himmelfarb is a decade-long visual exploration of different types of trucks and their place in everyday life. Himmelfarb adeptly shifts between mediums, style, and message in his works. The common truck under the hands of Himmelfarb becomes provocative, with each piece exuding its own personality. Himmelfarb's work traverses seamlessly through painting in acrylic, lithography, etching, silkscreen, and drawing in ink or pencil. His brushwork and drawing style are animated and playful, prompting the viewer to look at the everyday truck, and other hardworking vehicles, with a different perspective. In 2007, as a result of a three-month residency with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center Arts/Industry program, the artist established his first foray into sculpture and industrial design, and this presentation is the first documentation of Himmelfarb's new work in three dimensions. As author Janet L. Farber eloquently says in her introductory essay, "Like sleuths, those following its path [an artist's career] look for clues of continuity, relishing works that tell us a little about their past while anticipating future directions. Fortunately, John Himmelfarb has hopped on a truck for the most recent part of his personal odyssey and left tire tracks behind." First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.…
