Pat Steir
Steir has long been admired for pictures that quote the history of painting. Outstanding among these "quotational" pictures is the virtuoso Brueghel Series of 1982-84, a group of sixty-four panels each executed in the style of a different artist or period. That group, reproduced here, formed the climax of an earlier book on Steir published 1986.
Pat Steir
"The pictorial universe of Pat Steir is usually divided into different styles, epochs and categories. In this monograph, for the first time, art historian Doris von Drathen traces a logical line of thought that runs through the whole oeuvre, from the artist's earliest works to her most recent; although richly diverse, the paintings are all linked by an underlying investigation into the illusion of reality and its perception - a philosophical inquiry that perpetually asks: What do you see, and what do you think you see? Every painting is an exploration that questions the nature of what it is: a painting. In this way, over the past 40 years, Pat Steir has built up an essential body of work with a far-reaching contemporary influence - one that might best be described as "a school for seeing.""--BOOK JACKET.
Pat Steir
This book offers a new insight in this oeuvre: Pat Steir's capacity of transforming paint into space. She generate space by painting, creating spaces of vertical horizons, opening cosmic and spherical spaces of reflection, but she constructs spatial compositions, creates mural paintings and the visual continuum of panoramic spaces, or directly inserts her paintings into nature and architecture.
