Momentan nu sunt oferte disponibile.

This book presents a detailed account of Guillermo Kuitca's major bodies of work, analyzing his diverse range of imagery and reflecting on his engagement with the spaces in which we live. Following Kuitca's development from the 1980's to his latest body of work, the narrative reveals an artist who has continually challenged himself and his audience with new kinds of painterly language. In Kuitca's hands, everyday visual material such as road maps, street plans, architectural blueprints, and theatre seating charts are transformed into innovative paintings that engage with dark subjects such as the Holocaust and Argentina's "Dirty War." Drawing on conversations and studio visits the author has had with the artist, Guillermo Kuitca reveals the multifarious elements of a challenging and exciting body of work. It is essential reading for anyone fascinated by this truly original artist. About the Author Raphael Rubinstein is professor of Critical Studies at the University of Houston School of Art and is also a Contributing Editor for Art in America. His previous publications include Words and Drawings: Frank O'Hara and Mario Schifano , Reinventing Abstraction: New York Painting in the 1980's, and Critical Mess: Art Critics on the State of their Practice.
