Rackstraw Downes: Onsite Paintings, 1972-2008
Autor Klaus Ottmann Sarah Rothenbergen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2010
Rackstraw Downes: Onsite Paintings, 1972-2008 is an important overview of the work and methods of this British-born ‘realist’ panoramic painter (b. 1939) who was given the MacArthur Fellowship genius award in 2009. Though primarily based in New York City, Downes has travelled widely and has created a significant number of landscape paintings on site including the harbour of Portland, Maine, and the Donald Judd structures in Marfa, Texas.
Downes’s panoramic paintings, which he developed by studying 17th-century Dutch panoramic landscape painting possess a unique balance between realism and abstraction, timelessness and history. Painted from observation, they are not "snapshots" of a scene recreated in the studio; rather, they are chronicles of the human experience— records of social history as it evolves.
The book also features a wide-ranging interview between the artist and Terrie Sultan, director of Parrish Art Museum

Recenzii
"This excellent book ... will surely help Downes find a receptive audience who will marvel at his balance of realism and abstraction, timelessness and history, and will embrace the work of a plein-air master of our time”Maine Antique Digest
“Through essays, an interview, and a host of full-page images, Downes emerges as an astute observer, quietly and powerfully documenting the surrounding reality of modern life that goes unnoticed by most” Alyssa Payley, ARTINFO.com
“This catalog is recommended for libraries focusing on American or modern art” Doug Litts, ARLIS (Art Libraries Society of North America)
