Do Paintings Bite? Selected Texts, 1948 - 1996

Leon Golub, Hans-Ulrich Obrist

description

Anthology of texts by Leon Golub. Edited by Hans-Ulrich Obrist. "Originally identified in the 1950's with the 'Monster Roster' in Chicago, Golub insisted on the importance of content and in his art continued to address the subject of violence and oppression, the artist as reporter. Most recently Golub's paintings conflate the political with the irrational and the absurd. The texts from 1970's to the present, often ironic, acerbic or sceptical, increasingly probe the terrains of sci-fi, pop culture and the conflicting crises and utopian hopes of modernism." -- excerpt from back cover. Includes biography, exhibition history, list of illustrations, and bibliography. Printed in black-and-white.
