High, Low & in Between

Résumé du livre

Focusing on lost ideals and failed utopias, Matthew Day Jackson uses the resonance and symbolism of everyday objects to create dramatic visions of American culture. His extraordinarily fertile and prolific practice incorporates sculpture, painting (although not in a conventional form), photography, and video. Its undeniable visual impact is due to his stress on the apocalyptic aspects of social idealism and a dynamic clash between ideas and physicality.
