Description: Alexis Rockman: a Fable for Tomorrow by Joanna Marsh, Kevin J. Avery, Thomas Lovejoy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Accompanies the first major exhibition of the artists work, tracing Rockmans artistic development from the mid-1980s to the present. Publisher Description Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow traces the artists career from Ponds Edge (1986) to The Reef (2009), with its timely reminder of the perils of off-shore oil drilling. Superficially easy viewing, Rockmans paintings subvert the optimism of the American dream with their mix of scientific precision and environmental degradation. This vividly illustrated volume highlights the attention to detail and striking use of colour which give Rockmans work an almost cinematic impact that is seldom seen in contemporary art. His compelling mix of intensely coloured realism, scientific detail and strong polemic, result in art that is both a demand for action and an elegy over what has been lost. Author Joanna Marsh worked closely with Rockman on the painting selection and convincingly links the various themes of the artists work over three decades with the history of Americas environmental movement. Highlights include Evolution (1992), his first mural-sized painting, and Manifest Destiny (2003-04), an ambitious large-scale work commissioned by the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Rockmans ability to cross the boundary between fact and fiction appeals to both scientists and art critics.
