Byrne's work draws on a range of sources, from popular print media of the recent past to iconic modernist playwrights and thinkers such as Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett and Jean-Paul Sartre. This volume offers the first complete overview of his work to date.

Philip Taaffe - Anima Mundi
Price:
€30.00
ISBN:
978-1-907020-60-5
Year of Publication:
2011
Description:
Philip Taaffe is no doubt one of the most significant painters working in America today and he is certainly responsible, with a handful of other artists, for the renewed interest in
abstraction Taaffe’s work has evolved during the years but he developed his distinctive style quite early in his career. Multiple cultural references from present
and past times appear in his work creating multilayered final images of great complexity and extraordinary beauty. Taaffe’s work goes well beyond formalism. Acknowledging the great tradition of Abstract Art initiated by Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka and Piet Mondrian, Taaffe does not consider form as an end in itself. His paintings are equally well rooted in the present time, and somehow could not have been imagined before the world we now live in, bombarded as we are by information technology.
The catalogues is 128 pages, 80 full colour images.

Terry Winters belongs to a generation of artists who have taken painting beyond the constraints of
Minimalism. Following his investigations of the 1980s—which centered on botanical and biological processes—Winters

forcefully made paintings and drawings invoke networks and systems of modular forms and structures in an instinctive, unruly
symbolic language that sets out to encapsulate entire worlds.
