Description

Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool is the first career retrospective of renowned American artist Barkley L. Hendricks. Born in 1945, Hendricks' unique work combines elements of American realism and postmodernism, setting him apart from other portraitists. Hendricks is best known for his life-sized portraits of people of color from the urban northeast, elevating everyday individuals to celebrity status through bold portrayals of attitude and style. This book showcases 100 colour images of paintings created between 1964 and the present, including full-figure portraits, lesser-known early works, and landscape paintings. The catalogue includes a comprehensive bibliography, timeline of Hendricks' life, an interview with the artist, and essays by leading art historians and curators, providing a rich understanding of Hendricks' artistic vision and its significance.
