| Book Description | A comprehensive monograph and four thematic booklets which trace the artist’s evolution for the entirety of his career. From revolutionizing portraiture to redefining the nude, Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) is rightly known among the foremost American figurative painters of the late 20th century. Yet his six-decade artistic oeuvre encompasses not only largescale canvases of distinctively dressed (or undressed) individuals, but also includes evocative landscapes, hard-edged geometric abstractions, lush watercolors on paper and singular photographs informed by his studies with Walker Evans. Skira and Jack Shainman Gallery have partnered to realize an unprecedented book project dedicated to the artist Barkley L. Hendricks. This major project is made up of 5 books: it consists of 4 booklets each of which provides an in-depth exploration of a corpus of works integral to the artist’s output (Works on Paper; Landscape Paintings; Basketball Paintings; Photography) as well as a comprehensive 300-page monograph which traces the artist’s evolution for the entirety of his career. The project is tied to an extensive and never-accomplished-before recovery of the artist’s archive. Each book contains essays by different scholars that are leading international players. The booklets are important because they allow for a detailed, oriented study of key bodies of works. They are indispensable to art lovers, museums and art historians, providing further material of study and reading in addition to the comprehensive monograph. The monograph is the definitive volume and spans all aspects of the artist’s practice––probing his photographic experimentation as a forbear to contemporary street photography; celebrating his great sensitivity as a colorist whose unique expertise seamlessly combines oil-based and water-based pigments to evoke time and place; highlighting the observational genuineness in his provocative and personal interpretations of women, of unapologetically visible queer identities, and of his own beloved black communities across the African Diaspora. |
