Dan Walsh: The Process of Painting (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

With this publication, American artist Dan Walsh allows the reader to enter his studio and follow his idiosyncratic artistic process. By showing the different stages that a group of 12 recent works (2019-2022) navigated, he generously offers an insight into how a painting is built, how colours and forms merge together, how photography is a precious tool for painterly thinking, and how composition and structure are organic processes even if the result in his case is fundamentally geometrical and grid-based. In his essay entitled 'Ways of Seeing/Ways of Seeking, ' New York-based art critic and curator Bob Nickas, a long-time connoisseur of Walsh's practice, traces the genealogy of such an unveiling of the painting process, from legendary examples like Willem de Kooning's 'Woman 1' (1950-1952) to Walsh's contemporaries. Dan Walsh (b. 1960, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a painter, printmaker, bookmaker, and sculptor.
