Description
Cecily Brown is a comprehensive monograph on the influential painter of our time. Born in the UK, Brown rose to prominence in the late 1990s with a unique voice that investigates the sensual qualities of oil paint and challenges the conventions of abstraction and figuration. Her work is marked by a symbolic language, exuberant brushwork, rich palette, and intense energy, which have redefined some of painting's historical canons. Through a range of references to old master paintings, Abstract Expressionism, and popular culture, Brown's artistic style has been shaped by a diverse range of influences. This book provides a detailed look at her artistic development and the key factors that have contributed to her success. With its richly illustrated pages, Cecily Brown is an essential resource for anyone interested in modern art and the work of this highly influential painter.
