Riassunto

New York-based Dana Schutz is widely considered one of the most talented painters of her generation.   American art critic Jerry Saltz has praised Schutz for her "daredevil style and anarchic freedom." Viewed by both critics and her peers as the ultimate painter’s painter, her canvases are filled with a lush, boldly painted cast of characters that share the bravado and oddness of Paul Gauguin, Philip Guston, and the German Expressionists. These figures populate the artist’s distinctive post-apocalyptic narratives, which are at once playful and comic and dark and foreboding. Respected art writer and critic Barry Schwabsky considers the work of this young but prolific artist’s career in its entirety, delving deep into the rich themes that make Dana Schutz one of the most important artists of her generation.

Recensione:

"Rizzoli has to be one of my favorite art publishers to date. They always release monographs on the best artists of our generation." ~BeautifulDecay.com

"...for Schutz fans, this book is pure mind-bending eye candy." ~TheArtBlog.org

"She has a kind of painterly telepathy, a quality that allows her to delve into Ensor’s crowds and dissect Eakins’s corpses. It doesn’t hurt, either, that she’s a once-in-a-generation coloris." ~ArtInfo.com

"Don’t let all the bright colors fool you; Schutz is drawn toward the macabre." ~FlavorPill.com
