Jonathan Lasker

Více o knize

The visual language of American painter Jonathan Lasker's abstraction consists of raw, biomorphic gestures, and brightly colored eruptions of pattern. Grids and knots of lines, appearing to be scribbled ephemera, mask the artist's larger intent -- that of challenging the viewer's inherited aesthetic logic. As an important monograph, this book presents the bulk of Lasker's oeuvre, and, in addition, features provocative essays as well as a wide-ranging interview with the artist himself. Jonathan Lasker (b.1948) has had numerous one-person and group exhibits in the 1980s and '90s, including the 1992 documenta and the '93 Venice Biennale.
