Grace Hartigan

Résumé du livre

This work focuses exclusively on what Grace Hartigan terms her art history paintings: paintings specifically inspired by works culled from her far-ranging interests in art of the past. The essay and interview with the artist consider Hartigan's response to compositional ideas and deliberate reinterpretations of famous masterworks of the west. Illustrations include a grouping of recent paintings in which Hartigan has borrowed figures, poses, and gestures appropriated from a variety of sources.
