Mass

Résumé du livre

With his grand vision, profound sense of mood, and exciting style, John Harris has earned international acclaim--and the honor of being the first British artist ever commissioned by NASA. Yet never before has there been a collection of his paintings in print. Mass is Harris's greatest single project to date, the one that best displays the breadth of his imagination and the innovative, ultramodern structures that brought him fame. From skyscapes to lost cities, the work is truly colossal, conveying not only the sheer size that edifices built by future-fantastic technology might attain, but also the awesomeness, even the terror, of their presence. Uncover the origin of these tremendous images, and how Harris goes about reinterpreting the genre to offer us a new perspective on the world.
