內容簡介
內容簡介 研究獲透納獎提名的藝術家Peter Doig最全面的藝術專書。Doig以他前瞻又懷舊的靈視,創造出混合著浪漫主義與後印象派畫風的獨特繪畫,畫中風景有時如夢一般,有時又鬼影幢幢,產生一種縈繞你心、揮之不去的感受。每一個世代的藝術家,總有幾個或者至少一個,會提出一套新的問題,並且改變我們理解藝術的方式,Peter Doig就是這樣的藝術家。在1990年代,大家都在討論傳統繪畫是否已死,畫家與他們的作品被認為已經過時。大部分的人擁抱的是裝置藝術或觀念藝術,Doig能在傳統繪畫中另闢蹊徑,吸引一群繪畫與評論的跟隨者,進而在藝術圈大放異彩。本書包含了Doig藝術家生涯的油畫、素描、與攝影等相關素材,畫中呈現的風景,不僅來自Doig所居住過的英格蘭、加拿大與千里達,也來自他的回憶,或者對回憶的諸多看法。這本精美的盒裝書,在設計上與畫家本身有密切的合作,書籍封面與內頁的許多元素都由Doig創作,從畫家早期作品到近期的創作,其繪畫的各個面向,本書皆有探討。he most comprehensive monograph on Turner Prize-nominated artist Peter Doig. In every generation of artists, there are a few-or perhaps just one-who propose a new set of questions and alter the way we understand art. Peter Doig is such an artist. While stories of painting’s demise in the early 1990s deemed painters and their work quaintly anachronistic, Doig-looking ahead as much as back for inspiration-forged a new painterly language: an ironic mix of Romanticism and post-impressionism to create haunting and sometimes dreamlike landscape vistas.In this lavish new volume devoted to his entire career-which includes paintings, drawings, and reference material, such as found photographs-art historians Richard Shiff and Catherine Lampert mine the artist’s rich and varied work. Doig’s landscapes have been inspired by the many places the artist has lived-England, Canada, Trinidad. So, too, does memory, or the idea of memory, inform much of his production.This handsome slipcased volume is designed in close collaboration with the artist, with Doig specially creating the cover and various elements of the interior. Every facet of the painter’s singular vision is explored, from his earliest paintings of the early 1990s to the most recent series of works.Published in association with Michael Werner Gallery
