Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow

Autor Joanna Marsh Kevin J. Avery, Thomas Lovejoy

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2010

Features 47 artworks from private and public collections that trace the artist's career from Pond’s Edge (1986) to The Reef (2009). Inspired by 19th–century landscape painting, science fiction film, and firsthand field study, Rockman’s paintings proffer a vision of the natural world that is equal parts fantasy and empirical fact.
