This book exhibits work by acclaimed painter Donald Baechler (b. 1956), as recently shown in the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York. In a series of large paintings known as the Black Flowers, Baechler's painterly grandeur comes to life in these energetic and expressive depictions of almost silhouetted still lives. Deceptively rudimentary, these works in fact have a great deal of precedence in American art, as the forward by critic Carter Ratcliff illustrates.
The early paintings and collages on paper gathered in this volume represent the genesis of Donald Baechler's (born 1956) iconic vocabulary of symbols and techniques throughout the 1980s, when he rose to international renown. His subjects are recognizable the world over--flowers, faces, houses, globes and other familiar objects take center stage.
32 pages; 15 color plates with a color photograph of the artist; poems by Cavafy.
