Hardback. Condizione: New. The first major monograph on Peter DeCamp Haines, this title explores how the sculptor's interest in psychology and anthropology deeply informed his art.This book is the first major monograph on the work of Peter DeCamp Haines (March 27, 1942-October 25, 2024), which builds on the evolution of Modernism as much as it harkens back to the Bronze Age. The clearest expression of this is a series of 1,000 elemental bronze "artifacts" he created over the course of nearly fifty years, to which he contributed yearly, ranging from palm-size pieces to colossal outdoor works. He called this output "a personal archaeology," or "an archaeology of the subconscious," referencing ancient tools, animal and human shapes, and the synchronicity of antique forms with the purely abstract.Haines's interest in psychology and anthropology deeply informed his art.
